How do you justify continually using take out delivery services?
How do you justify continually using take out delivery services?
For those that continually use services like Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, etc., how does justify using the cost?
With fees and tip added, it's almost double the cost, the food arrives cold and wait time is longer than you picking it up yourself.

Started during covid to avoid going outside, plus I had one of the big players in food delivery as a client, so I got a monthly 20€ voucher. That got me hooked.
I got used to it, became lazier, completely got cooking out of my routine and I the process gained 30Kg that I'm now slowly trying to get off for the past 6months or so.
In a nutshell, I got addicted to junk food and was too lazy to go get it. Also had enough money to allow me to do it, even if I shouldn't for health and economic reasons... Could be saving for something like the down-payment on a house but nope. Spending it on junkfood+delivery (luckily tipping isn't a thing here).
Trying to break that habit now.
As a bonus: I ordered a lot from BurgerKing. Until the end of 2022 they had free delivery above 12€. I'd easily get to the 12€.
Around January 2023 they changed the website to offer delivery ABOVE 15€ and that was crap because my orders usually didn't go that high. Turns out they fucked it up when coding it and if you managed to get exactly 15€ it would completely bypass this check and give you free delivery.
Someone needs to go back to basic math >= :)
Unfortunately they fixed it in early November. Good thing though as it might discourage me from ordering even further.
It's easy. Look at yourself naked and decide if you want to eat more of that.
My morning shower is great for getting off bad food.
That does usually work! But when I feel like eating crap the lady thing that comes to my mind is looking myself in the mirror.
It does sometimes happen afterwards and I wonder why I did it. It's getting better. I'll get there. :)
