F.A.Q
How much does this cost and how/when do I pay?
Please see services and rates above.
You pay once I get to the register or upon arrival with cash, check, Zelle, or Venmo. I prefer to have the funds for your groceries before leaving the store as I pay with my own funds. If unable to due to travel it's okay you can pay once you are free. Though, I must always be paid in full before leaving your rental/home. You won't know how much your groceries cost or have to pay anything until I get to the register.

Why choose Little Budgie over big business delivery?
The service I provide is better all around! No markups on items, random fees, and ridiculous replacements. I communicate with you every step of the way and make sure you get exactly what you want to pay for. Unlike many Instacart workers, I pay attention to detail and always choose the best produce, meat, seafood, etc. because I take pride in my business and feel respected and blessed by the people I work with.
It's been a long-term dream of mine to do my own business full time. Every person I work for is one more person getting me closer to my dream and I want my appreciation to show in my work. I put the same amount of care into every order and I always make sure you have a positive experience.
Many Instacart and Shipt workers are being undervalued, underpaid, and don't have the time to really care. It's just about getting the job done. The support is horrible when you have a problem for customers AND workers, I believe they don't even have a phone number. You never know who is shopping for you next. Also, Instacart's app is being controlled by a computer and many times there are items on customers' list they never wanted, along with many other technical difficulties.
With Little Budgie, you're getting repeat, consistent great service with someone you know and trust! Thank you for supporting my small business! I appreciate you!
