Once your shopping list is ready, you do not have to drive to the store. Order Ingredients hands the list to Instacart or Amazon Fresh, where you check the cart and pay. Here it is on the website, sending a list to Instacart.
Pick what to order, choose the store, send. The store opens in a new tab.

Tips for a better cart
- Be specific on your list: brand, amount and unit help the store find the right product, like "Organic Gala apples, 2 lbs".
- Tick off what you already have before sending, so you do not pay for a second jar of cumin.
- Always check the cart before paying. The store matches each line to its own products, and you can swap any of them.
