Lol a friend used to do this with supplements & protein powder at Whole Foods. They have a really good return policy so you can just dump the pills out, put whatever pills you want in, and return them.

Friend had a ton of protein powder that didn't work for them, so they would swap them for a kind Whole Foods had and return.

Thats a good point as if the product is opened they cant put it back on the shelf anyway can they ?

I think her age makes her feel immune. She also will get 2 of the same item and pick them up together and scan only 1.
She's too scared to do online refunding though because she gets nervous and her social skills aren't that great.
She's begging me to get her a laptop right now. I told I will after I finish the laptop SE at Best Buy I'm working on now.

Shes old school and prefers the in person SE's, I respect it.

I like to use Instacart and just refund them occasionally. Keeps the grocery costs low

I'm guessing you're using an RDP with proxies or something. InstaCart seldom works for me anymore

Interesting. I'm currently living at an apartment in a college town so I just use cellular on my phone. Their security doesn't seem that good to be honest. They can't match addresses because so many people live here so I just use a random name and apartment number and the driver cant get into the building so they are forced to drop it outside where they take the picture. I just use DNA for it and it hasn't failed me yet.

No they toss it. Whole Foods has a really good return policy that predates the Amazon buyout. You can drink half of a bottle of water and tell you didn't like it and get a refund. Other super markets make you give a phone number and sign a statement when you return supplements (which is still easy to finesse), but Whole Foods is by far the easiest.

For Instacart, make sure you say the food is bad and not that you didn't get the delivery so you don't screw over the delivery driver. And tip well. Those people get really screwed by Instacart.

Yeah this is a good move. Most groceries have cameras watching the self-checkout with AI that detects what you're scanning and alerts the person on duty if you don't scan something or what you scan is different. I read that double scanning bypasses this. It's important not to get greedy though, especially if she's hitting the same stores over and over.

Good tip, instacart US only ?

I imagine it would work elsewhere, but I'm not sure. My friend hasn't done full orders, just the most expensive items on every order. Your mileage may vary.

I was doing Instacart twice a week every single item missing or damaged and it worked about 40 times before they blocked my address. My nieghbor next door in the condo works all day and is nice so sometimes I use her address then wait until they are on their way and tell support I put wrong address or just wait outside and tell driver I put wrong address.
Works with Doordash Grubhub Drizly too.
Oh also Walmart+ too even if you do curbside pickup.

Hey man do you get vcc for instacart? I’ve been getting chase to send me a new debt but I think that isn’t a good idea long term.  I tried to use revolut vcc but they did not work.

I have to say I am partial to the old vegetable switcheroo occasionally where you weigh steaks or some other expensive grocery items as carrots and pay a fraction of the cost - this only works at the self serve checkouts so beware. Its almost the perfect crime because you can go to self serve and scan your 'carrots' right there in front of everyone and the employees without raising any eyebrows, you just have to make sure you are quick when you weigh the 'carrots' initially and not be seen doing it. I dont weigh at the self serve itself but rather in the vegetable aisle where they have those dedicated scales for weighing your veg and printing the little sticker that has the barcode to be scanned. Just slap that baby over the barcode on your steak and enjoy a nice juicy steak for under £0.30. If you are wondering I choose carrots because it is the cheapest option to choose from where I reside.

Would love to hear your tricks for keeping the cost of groceries down

My mother is a pro at self checkout. She fills the cart with a ton of recyclable bags you bring your self then uses the scan gun and puts filled bags on top of items she never even takes out of the cart. She gets like half her groceries free.

I just use Walmart+ and Instacart and then check that every item was damaged or missing and they refund me.
Walmart refunds me even if I choose curbside pickup and even on the few items they say I have to return to the store but never do.
Plus if you use SNAP its back in your account in 3 hours.
Last month I checked my SNAP and somehow had $650 because I think Walmart fucked up and refunded me multiple times.
It's crazy I have so much food I can't even eat it before it goes bad.

Hey would you explain how do you ref the whole Walmart order for groceries? Cause for me it says to return the item. Also do you claim damaged, one by one?
