Instacart prohibits shoppers from giving customers paper receipts from the store, obscuring the markups many pay for groceries.

You don’t even need to order to see the difference if your local grocery store also delivers. I was curious one day and brought up my local grocery place in one tab, Instacart in the other, and realized I was spending a significant amount more on markups alone using Instacart, not even including delivery charge and tips.
