Why is it so much cheaper?
1) Selling your data.
2) They will happily lose money by getting people hooked on the app so they can eliminate employees. Slowly moving towards automation.

Seems like most grocery stores want you ordering online or for pickup since at HEB and Target the fist 40 f’ing rows of spots are reserved for pickup orders.
It's so that they can sell you the shitty vegetables that would be thrown away. My wife did Wal Mart pick up over the weekend and the head of lettuce she got was rotten.
She also got rotten strawberries in the previous Wal Mart pick up.

Subway is buy 1 get 1 free, McDonald's too is 50% off on just about anything.
Interesting. I used the McDonald’s app one time just to seem now it worked and I thought prices were higher.
Maybe I’m mixing the apps vs Uber eats

I don’t think so. They’re still tracking your spending with the intent to manipulate your behavior. I don’t mean that in a sinister way, it’s just the way things work these days.
Each customer is a unique data point. They can tailor these offers depending on your past response.
Without promotions, maybe you’re a once per month customer spending $15 each visit/month. With them, maybe you’re a once per week customer spending $$13 per visit or $52/month. That’s a good deal for them. They can get more money out of you by marketing to you for free and they don’t have to extend the offer to customers who came to the restaurant prepared to pay full price.
