The one period I used grocery delivery quite a while back (I was on crutches and I could easily enough go to a grocery store but it was hard to do a full shopping) my big objection was that they'd be out of enough things or did substitutions I didn't want that it was hard to count on getting everything I needed to make a recipe. This was before meal kits so those weren't available as a substitute.
Not sure about prices but I didn't really have a choice.

Hmm I haven't done anything rigorous but a few staples I know the price of off-hand are the same at least, but maybe they're being sneaky. I'll look more closely. Thanks for the tip!
FWIW though I do mainly use instacart, since my amex card counts them as a grocery store/supermarket, I get my 6% cashback.
Also noteworthy: Shipt didn't respect any of my store's B1G1 offers. It didn't even appear in their system while shopping (Instacart did). I actually know a Shipt shopper that was getting free stuff all the time because of this.
If you're strapped for time but still want to stay safe and save money, consider stores that have curb side service like Wal-Mart. You get in store prices with no extra fees and no-contact hand off.
