Run the three checks below right after pasting the prompt; each takes seconds, and a miss tells you exactly which step to redo. - 1Paste the prompt — Muse should list grocery items matching your usual orders. - 2Compare the cart against your Instacart order history. Familiar items mean it’s reading your real history. - 3Confirm nothing was ordered — check Instacart for unexpected orders before you trust it with checkout. Stuck connecting?
