Instacart's AI-Enabled Pricing Experiments May Be Inflating Your Grocery Bill

My wife is a travel agent. Lately she has been telling clients not to look at fares while she is looking as the dynamic pricing will jack up the fares she can get for them if they look at the same routes she is.

This is a bigger problem than just Instacart. The prices are much harder to revert after they've been established (as we've seen since 2020).

If you use instacart at all, something tells me you're already divorced from the concept of affordable groceries
