But if I turn them off, block them in settings, in general, will that
stop nofiications when I actually do business with, for example,
insstacart?  If I order a delivery, when they text me about
substitutions or when/if it will be delivered, is that going to be
turned off too, or only the annoying notifications.

Hold the app's icon down for a few seconds until a small menu pops up. Tick
the "i". That should take you to an app info screen. Notifications should
be near the top. Tick that and turn off the switch. That should turn off
notifications for that app only.

I understand that it would be that app only, but would it be the
annoying notifications only,

It would be ALL notifications for that ONE app. But since the above process
 only takes seconds and if the notifications really do annoy you that much
 then I would suggest that you turn them off and then when you want to use
 that app and need its notification just turn them back on. If you only use
 the app say once a month then it might be worth it. But if you used it say
 every few days then the on/off routine would be also very annoying IMO,
 YMMV...

or would it be t he ones they send when my
grocery order may require substitutions, and when it is ready for
pickup.  When you turn off notifications does that include texts related
to future current transactions?

The above process only turns off notifications for the annoying app, not
 texts.
