Most agreed with the woman’s take, while others cracked all kinds of jokes on the same.The post even came into the notice of Instamart, prompting a fun response: “Your loyalty deserves another 100 bags ( so order more).”Check out the viral post: “Dear Blinkit and Instamart, Thanks to both of you, I don't need to buy a dustbin anymore.

Internet’s reaction: “Every cardboard box is a dustbin for me,” a user said. “The unofficial starter pack for living alone in India: one chair full of clothes and a Blinkit bag doubling as a dustbin,” joked another internet user. “This is probably the most honest customer testimonial Blinkit and Instamart will ever get. What started as grocery delivery has quietly become a dustbin bag subscription too. And one more thing is that sometimes the real value of a product isn't just what it's designed for, but how customers creatively make it part of their everyday lives,” added another.
