Running errands and making deliveries are great for quick cash outside the home. It's also very flexible work! Do as much as you can when you can.
Most of these companies advertise earnings upwards of $18 hourly, but you may earn less. Those inflated totals fail to factor in gas, car wear and tear, or work availability.
If these side hustles are of interest, I'd recommend doing more than one to make it worth your while.
Shipt – Be a shopper for Shipt, delivering groceries on-demand for people who request the service. Shipt claims it's possible to earn $22/hourly, but around $10 is more likely according to reports from many Shipt shoppers. Shipt is owned by Target Stores . Once hired, you simply download their user friendly app to get started. Payment is once a week via PayPal.
I do Shipt, I LOVED it and made a great income. You get offered shops via the ap. You accept, or not...your choice. ..t’s a grocery delivery service from Kroger, HEB/central Market, Mayer, Target etc. (but we also deliver anything target sales, Petco, CVS, Sur la Table, party City, Office Max). They pay a small percentage of the total then you get tips.
Get Paid to Design & Sell T-Shirts
Instacart – Earn extra money shopping for others As a shopper, you go to the grocery store like normal, except you’re getting paid to shop for others. Work whenever it works for youWith no set hours or days, you can shop as much or as little as you want, anytime you want.
Instacart is looking for new shoppers -great part time side hustle!! -
Sarah Hlad has been an Instacart shopper since early April, and already she’s earned almost $3,000.“The first week I did it, I paid off my whole credit card,” she told FOX Business. Before the coronavirus hit the U.S., 20-year-old Hlad worked at an Equinox Sports Club in Manhattan. However, to slow the spread of the coronavirus, Equinox -- and other gyms across the country -- announced March 16 that it would temporarily close all its locations, so Hlad relocated to southern New Jersey where she grew up. After quarantining for two weeks in Manahawkin, she signed up to be a shopper at Instacart, the grocery delivery app.
DoorDash – Get paid to pick up food orders from various restaurants that use the DoorDash service and deliver it to the people who ordered.
What you do is you go to the restaurant after your phone alerts you to then you pick up the food then you drive to the customer's house then you're done easy
Grab this car organizer to help with your door dash car organization
once you have all your equipment and are approved to work it’s a really easy way to make some quick cash, especially on the weekends. you don’t get reimbursed for gas or anything but I've honestly made enough to cover gas and still make a profit and put some towards my debt.
You don’t have to take every order that pops up. Take the orders that are about $1.80 per mile (use gas wisely). Look at YouTube videos of Dashers. They give tips too. Dash on your way back home from the other side of the city… Can be a good gig, if you do it smart.
Postmates Become a “Fleet delivery driver” for Postmates and get paid for deliveries of all kinds of items. You will be take home 100 percent of what you earn and payments are made weekly or cash out when you want instantly.
Uber Eats Instead of traditional food delivery jobs where the hours aren’t flexible, try being your own boss with Uber Eats. Get paid to deliver on your schedule using the food delivery app most downloaded by customers.
Some feedback from our group on grocery delivery

door dash is ok, just dont take offers less than $7, they hide tips above $7. They also will show at least $1 per mile if there is a tip to cover it. ie 8 miles and $8.25 could have tips, 8 miles and $7.99 wont have a hidden tip.
uber eats is also great, but in my area its pretty slow, I get maybe 4 offers a week. but it usually pays pretty well. they hide tips to but only if its more than $8. so the offer you see is usually pretty good on its own, hidden tips are just a nice surprise. I dont take an uber unless its over $10, most are $15 or more.
keep track of all your miles so you can write off most of your income. stride has tips on what you can do and it keeps track of each stop you make. I also keep track of miles each day on a spread sheet, starting and end odometer along with total miles.

I’m in a city located outside a metro area. We have EVERYTHING in my city (except a Target ). We even have a mall. The Instacart market here is soooo saturated the wait is ridiculous. I am a Shipt Shopper but like I said we are 30-55 minutes from the metros they service. I wanted to get on with Instacart to shop more close to home (5-10 minute drives as opposed to 30-55 minute drives).
Laura shared some info on getting insurance
Make sure you have commercial car insurance. Cause if you get in an accident while working you won't be covered just giving those a heads up that are reading this that state farm might be a good move.
we switched from progressive a couple of years ago, and they were ripping us off so badly. if only we shopped around years before. progressive was slowly increasing our rates over a stupid dmv mistake that had nothing to do with driving.
state farm gave us rates lower than progressive original pricing before the inflated rates, which is still comprehensive coverage.
most DD's don't do the insurance thing with the plan of omitting that they were delivering while they were driving. super risky though since the insurance can get records from DD/uber/etc and they love finding ways to not have to pay out.
