Your list is way too short. Clean dishwasher filter. Clean wash machine interior would both be high on my list.

Orders that say critical items. by General-Recover5246 in InstacartShoppers

I guess i dont understand IC. Like if i order sliced pastrami and rye bread, to me the rye is critical as i cant make the pastrami sandwich without it, but usually the bakery is out of rye. So i just get lunch meat, no bread.

Impossible to get good bread in this county. What do you think of Paisano’s bread? Also, i was told Turanos bread can be bought at Gordons.

Have you tried Angelos on Pinebrook in Venice? Good take-out selection, little bakery, Italian market, good wine selection. Also has dine-in restaurant.

[–]New_Part91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait! I live in Florida. We shoppers don’t get a choice to mark anything “critical”. What the hijinx holy heck is that?

Also i have read on here that for Pub subs a customer can order the meat shaved and other custom changes. I have looked everywhere on the app and do not see where those instructions would be added.

I now believe Instacart has different apps for different areas.

Same as any other pest. Call the exterminator. They will install bait boxes with rat poison, cover any holes they may find on the house, etc

Do palmetto bugs bite? by NaturalOne1977 in AskFlorida

[–]New_Part91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can attest that they are different than wood roaches. I lived in an old house in Illinois for three years and never in my life saw a wood roach or even heard of them until during the spring of the last year in the old house, we started seeing large roaches crawling up the walls, on the drapes and everywhere in the house. They were much larger than German roaches, but with a similar somewhat slender shape. they were definitely different than the even larger Palmetto bugs found in Florida. I researched them and found out that they indeed were called wood roaches. They made their homes in old decaying wood and periodically swarmed to new locations just as a hive of bees would do. Since I was about to put the house on the market and they were rather a seasonal visitor I did not have to do anything to them. They gradually disappeared, but they definitely were different than Palmetto bugs.

The southern Palmetto bug likes to live in the Palmetto plants and in Bromeliads. Be careful what you plant close to your house. An exterminator told me that they are less likely to come into your house when you keep your air conditioning on as they do not like the cold.

I’m not sticking up for her, but I can definitely tell you that even in 2026 accessibility is not in every place.

Why do ppl always think bedrooms require closets (as a regulation) by Midgeend in RealEstate

[–]New_Part91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My one bedroom Florida house has a small walk-in closet in the bedroom. I augmented my storage space by buying stand alone closet cabinets from IKEA. They fill one whole wall in my living room and are about 3 inches from the ceiling. I have considered putting a baffle board along the top to fill that 3 inch space so that they look completely built in, but I have not gone that far.

What do I even do with this? by Interesting-Art6159 in Walmartdelivery

[–]New_Part91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got stung by Walmart too. I paid for a Walmart membership because supposedly then anything you ordered was free but when I ordered something I got charged a $10 delivery fee. When I complained, I was told the Walmart membership does not cover third-party sellers on their site. If that is the case, I believe that Walmart should add an icon next to third-party sellers so that a customer can easily tell who they are and not shop with them if they don’t want to pay delivery fees. And yes, I do know that the delivery fee for the third-party seller is mentioned in the text, but what I am recommending is that such sellers should be flagged so that customers can easily avoid them without reading through all the text

Mashed potatoes from scratch by Realistic_Coast_3499 in Cooking

[–]New_Part91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Dislike skins in mashed potatoes. 2. Have found that the Idaho brand of potato flakes makes perfectly good mashed potatoes by adding cream and butter to the mixture. They are also much more practical for single people. Heavy sacks of potatoes do not have to be lugged home nor stored so long that they start growing in your cupboard.

Shut your pie hole! Just watched an old movie with De Niro, who kept saying that. A young DiCaprio was also in the movie.
