Instacart is controlling like five tech

When I tried to do grcocery shopping, here and there shops started to use instacart for this.  But Instacart change the price as they like.  When I tried to buy at Aldi yesterday, first, minimum order was $35, changed it into $10, and later free shipping for the first customer, while I was seeing the screen.  And they said that they will take $40 first but it changed into $60 today.  Also free shipping is gone today.  And yet they charge $2 fee and $2 tips automatically.  and delivery fee is $4.  So at least $8 extra.  Even if we have a monthly pass, still fee and tips have to be paid besides that.  Also there are many complains about the price change.  They change the product price after we bought.  (It never happen at Peapod which didn't use instagram because they have separate stock for online order.)  They change even product as substitute.  Even there is still enough stock but they don't want us to buy good things so that they change it into bad ones.  

My question is: Do grocery shops really have contract with Instacart?
