This is a WIRED commerce article, written by the outlet's Commerce Production and Operations Coordinator Molly Higgins, promoting current promotional codes and money-saving deals for the grocery delivery service Instacart as of July 2026. Framed around the author's personal experience of using the service during the pandemic to shop for her immunocompromised grandmother and now for heavy groceries in Brooklyn, it functions as a regularly updated guide to available discounts rather than a news report.

The piece lists several offers: free delivery on a new customer's first three orders (with a $10 minimum), a $50 credit for applying for the Instacart Mastercard, $10 off Petco orders over $50, $10 off Walgreens orders over $40, and a $10 referral bonus. It also outlines Instacart+ membership, which costs $99 a year or $10 a month and includes free delivery on eligible orders, a Peacock subscription and access to New York Times Cooking.
