Don't want to pay for a grocery delivery subscription? Here's how to get essentials delivered fast with no monthly fee.
Fast Grocery Delivery Shouldn't Require a Membership
Amazon Prime, Walmart+, Instacart+, Shipt — there's a subscription for everything now. But what if you just need groceries delivered once, fast, without signing up for yet another monthly charge?
Fast Grocery Delivery Without a Subscription
- Instacart (no subscription): Order from local grocery stores with delivery as fast as 1 hour. Pay a per-order delivery fee — no monthly commitment. Works with Costco, Kroger, Safeway, Whole Foods, and hundreds more.
- DoorDash (no subscription): Grocery and convenience store delivery in under an hour. Per-order fees apply. No DashPass required.
