If using Instacart, consider switching to your local grocer's delivery service instead. It's kind of wild how many people in Texas used Instacart and never knew that H-E-B had their own delivery option. There's generally far less markup for similar service, although the real-time conversation Instacart allows with your shopper is nice. Not nice enough to justify the mark ups for routine shopping, though, IMO.



HEB does curbside service, but what is their delivery service? I’ve looked, and I haven’t found anything. I’d love to use them instead of InstaCart, but so far as I can tell, there is no such option available to me.

This, in Austin, TX, or all places. The HEB “Tech Hub” is here, so we should be the first place to roll out a service like that.



On their main page, where it says, "Curbside at your location" in the top right, click that and select delivery. Like another poster mentioned, it may not be in your city. More than likely if you're in Austin, it just isn't in your area.

H-E-B's headquarters is actually in San Antonio, where I live, so they may have more options available here. They don't advertise it a ton, but they actually hire a bunch of developers here in SA as well. I don't have the numbers, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a 50/50 split between the two cities. My husband works as a developer there at their HQ in San Antonio.


HEB is using Favor for deliveries (which they bought a few years ago)
