When you're new to food delivery apps, you're showered with all kinds of deals and discounts. But once you become a regular user, deals are few and far between. If you want to lock in some guaranteed savings for yourself, here's a hack for you: grab a gift card while it's on sale.
As of Aug. 26, you can pick up DoorDash and Instacart gift cards for up to 15% off at Best Buy. You can get a $100 DoorDash gift card for only $85, saving you $15, or a $100 Instacart gift card for $90, saving you $10. Other gift card values between $15 and $200 are discounted as well, saving you up to $30.
All of the pricing tiers for both DoorDash and Instacart gift cards are available as digital purchases, which are quicker and easier if you plan on using them for yourself. They just require an email address, and will be sent to your inbox directly after your purchase. You can transfer the digital gift card to someone else if you wish as well, just as you can with a physical gift card.
Once you add in taxes, fees, and tips, food delivery prices can get outrageously expensive. Whether you want discounted groceries via Instacart or cheaper dinner tonight via DoorDash, grabbing a gift card on sale guarantees you get more for less. Bon appétit.
