    It’s even more disturbing that Instacart does this for groceries. By the time you pay off one grocery order, you’ve probably already racked up three more grocery orders. If those were financed, then you’re really screwed.

        I remember visiting my family in Brasil some 20 years ago. Lots of stores had their own financing-long-term offers. People would then continue buying without bothering with details, each buy would add to a total sum.

        There’s no way to check if the total amount was correct, without including the % they had to pay for the credit, which changed every month.

        A tedious task most people didn’t bother with.
