Be careful with that. Wegmans (using Instacart) has different per-item prices for pickup/delivery than if you picked yourself in-store. Sometimes it's substantial.

> The AVERAGE markup of items in my order is 35%

> The highest markup of an item was 733%. To put this in perspective, if that item had been $10, I would have been charged $83.30 for it.

> Another item was marked up 220%. This item cost $4.68, I was charged $14.99 for it, and if I look in the Wegmans website that item is listed for $8.04. How can they arbitrarily charge more than the actual listing on the website? How can they charge almost 3 times more than the actual cost?
