On the rare occasion I use them it’s because I’m either hung over or legitimately sick. One of my credit cards comes with dash pass so I generally only pay an extra 2-3 bucks plus the driver tip.

I couldn't. I stopped ordering deliveries when they started becoming a significant part of my regular spending.

It was supposed to be a Friday night treat for the fam, but the novelty wore off and it was turning into a massive money pit.

Now we cook at home, save $240/mo, and eat better. My kids don't seem to miss it, so I judge that a win.

Making workers take tons of little unsafe drives too is what blows my mind, like why deliver 4 sandwiches one at a time instead of a loaf of bread etc. Wild

Also how do you justify the absurd amounts of packaging waste?

I can't that's why i don't

I don't. It's ridiculous with delivery fees and tips. I have a freezer and a Costco membership, and I'm learning to cook which is actually gratifying.

Normally I use it when I don’t have time to cook something or go pick it up.

I typically cook at home. I’m a decent enough cook that it’s cheap and it taste better.

Unless I’m going fine dining. My cooking is better than most restaurants.
