 Residents in the Brainerd area may never have to go grocery shopping again, thanks to the new service that allows you to have groceries delivered right to your front door. Instacart, a grocery delivery service, began service in the Brainerd area yesterday. Shoppers can go to instacart.com to use their mobile app to put in their shopping cart, and an Instacart driver will shop and deliver the groceries to your house at any time. They currently have partnerships with Cub Foods and Costco, and you don't have to be a Costco member to use the service. Delivery fees range from $6 to $12. So it's great for meal planning, families that are busy, anybody that doesn't have a car, perhaps elderly, or unable to navigate their way to the store themselves. For whatever reason, it's pretty amazing to be able to offer fresh food delivery to those individuals. Instacart currently serves residents in Brainerd, Baxter, Barrows, East Skull Lake, Lake Hubert, Merrifield, Pillager and Riverton. Customers can also use the promo code HiBrainerd to receive $20 off their first order.
