Instacart launches personalized Discounts with new AI features

Instacart, the popular grocery delivery app, has announced new ways for users to find deals and save money while shopping online. The company is introducing a new “Your Items on Sale” section on a store’s page that will use Instacart’s AI recommendation systems to help users find personalized deals based on their past orders. Additionally, there’s a new “Stores to Help You Save” section on the app’s home screen that makes it easier to find stores that offer discounts or loyalty savings.

Instacart is also offering new “Stock Up and Save” promotions that give users discounts when they meet a certain dollar or item threshold. Users can take advantage of in-store deal perks at certain retailers while shopping online by adding loyalty cards to their account.

“Instacart has helped customers save more than $2 billion on Instacart orders with deals, discounts, and membership benefits,” the company wrote in a blog post. “Access to affordable fresh groceries and everyday essentials has never been more important, and we want everyone to be able to take advantage of the more than 20,000 deals available near them on Instacart.”

The company also highlighted its Instacart+ membership, which offers free delivery on orders over $35 and a discount for scheduling groceries ahead of time. The subscription service costs $99 per year or $9.99 per month.

These new features come at a time when many people are looking for ways to save money on groceries and household essentials. With the pandemic still affecting daily life for many, Instacart is making it easier for users to find deals and discounts while shopping from the comfort of their own homes.
