Yes, it's pretty obvious.
Checked Walmart's home delivery. Pumpkin spice is $2.98. Edwards Pies $5.97.

I don't blame them for marking up the in-store price - after all, they're doing it for profit, not charity. But I think it's usually less expensive when the store has its own pick-up and delivery service. For example, ShopRite From Home uses in-store prices but charges either a flat fee or a percentage of the order (varies by store).

@Mindy D. I paid $5.97 for that Edwards Key Line Pie at Walmart last week. Why don't you use their free pick up service?

@ValuSkr @They were not marking up the In store price. They, Instacart, was marking up the price for delivered items. I have never tried Shop Rite but I will look into them. Thank you.

@Kachina624 @Thanks. I didn't know Walmart's pick up was free. It is hard for my husband to do things because he is in great pain. Pick up, when he can, would be a help.

Instacart does not do the mark up. Some stores charge instacart for allowing them in the store.

I am personally very thankful for Instacart. I am very particular about the quality of produce, fish, meat, etc. I use a high end local market (the same one I used when I could shop in person). The shoppers, delivery drivers and company need to make money for providing the service. I look forward to my delivery every Friday.

@Kachina624 @You are a lifesaver. I read the company policy and they charge the same for piclk up as for in store. I was looking at prices and I am so very happy. This will help so much. Cheaper and no need to go inside.

Meijers is very close to me. They do offer delivery but I know nothing about it as I've never used delivery for any grocery store.
However, I went to their website and searched Pumpkin Pie Spice. The McCormick brand is $4.59 for 1.12oz. Meijer brand is $2.79 for .75 oz and to @CelticCrafter 's point, Badia is $1.89 for 2oz.
As an aside, the McCormick Apple Pie Spice is the exact same price. So I guess Meijer is pretty expensive. LOL
