My Instacart side hustle made me $142 and I only took two orders

AN Instacart side hustle has made a TikToker over $100 with only two runs.

Leah is a TikToker who typically shares lifestyle content, vlogs, and hauls.

She recently posted a TikTok revealing how much she made in one day doing her Instacart side hustle.

In the video, she revealed that after only two orders on Instacart, she was able to score an extra $142.29.

The influencer revealed to 1.2million viewers that she was on day six of doing various side hustles to pay her bills.

"Upcoming rent so I don't have to spend any of my check on bills," Leah said in the video.

Order #1

The first Instacart order Leah said she received was a $22 Walmart order that she'd picked up for someone and dropped off at their home.

She said it took her about 20 minutes to get everything the person wanted.

Order #2

Leah's second Instacart order was a $40 Sprouts purchase.

Before going into the supermarket, Leah admitted that the order would be "time-consuming."

"There [are] a lot of items to grab, though," she said.

Leah said that she gets things for herself every time she goes into Sprouts to pick up other people's orders.

Total earnings

"And I forgot that Instacart pays you every single Thursday your adjustment pays for the last week, so I did end up making today $142," Leah shared.

A weekly adjustment is added to Instacart shoppers' earnings "if the total of your Instacart batch payments is less than the guaranteed minimum," according to Instacart.

The 'current balance' page Leah showed in the video revealed that her batch earning was $31.23 to which her tips of $7.55 was added.

She also had $28.03 added to her tip amount because it included other pending tips that she had.

The adjustment pay that Instacart added to her total was $75.48 making her earnings $142.29 for the day.

In the TikTok, she went on to celebrate making that much from only doing two orders.

"So that's pretty good," she said.

Leah said that she made so much from picking up orders for people through Instacart that she had "a little money to spoil" herself.

In the comments

Inspired by the influencer's quick money-making side hustle, her followers asked questions to help them get started with Instacart for themselves.

A TikToker said, "I signed up for Instacart because of you!!!"

"I’m literally going to start doing this tomorrow," another person added.

"I need $53 a day. Not bad pray for me!"

Leah replied saying: "YOU GOT THIS!!"

Someone else said that they were curious and asked: "when you say a $22 order or $40 is that how much the cart is worth or how much you’re getting paid?"

The TikTok user went on to say: "trying to get signed up."

The Instacart shopper answered their question by informing them that it's how much she's getting paid.

Keep in mind, any side hustle income still needs to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service or you may face penalties come tax time.
