On some of those late nights, especially when I picked up Indian food, I’d be hungry enough to genuinely consider this

8 people on door dash is more than 137, same with Uber Eats. That’d be closer to a 200 dollar bill. My cousin uses it everyday and it has increased his food costs by 40%. Thats insane.
I mean just eating out in general is the most expensive way to feed yourself, does your cousin just not know how to cook?
I personally just have a shit ton of fake accounts so I can cycle through and use the 50% off “new customer” discounts, but trying to do that everyday wouldn’t work LMAO it should be reserved for maybe a weekly thing, a treat for if you’re drunk/stoned on a fri/sat night
My husband used to order most of his meals through delivery services just for convenience and because he earned enough so could afford it. I had never ordered a meal on an app before so we had very different approaches to it when we met. It led to a bit of friction until we figured out a weekly dinner compromise: 3-4 days of home cooked fish/rice/veggies, 2-3 days of easy home cooked meals like salad/pasta/pizza/frozen bao, and 1 day of meal delivery. It’s still not my favorite but my husband compromised his stance much more than I did so I stay graceful about it.
In the long run you’re saving his life. Restaurant food is so calorie dense compared to homemade
It’s definitely healthier than what he was ordering. Plus you get to prepare exactly what you want and how you like it. It’s been so gratifying to see him expand his cooking skills with fish. He can rival most restaurants now in my opinion in terms of tastiness. Definitely found a keeper.
It takes two. You’re obviously aware of compromises made, referring to an example as you did. I’m reasonably sure someone aware of -and willing to discuss- such things is someone who makes an effort with others’ feelings and wishes. That alone puts you above most people I meet, so give yourself some credit. 💛
Idk, but if he does it everyday a shit ton of people are and thats a problem. I see it all over the place. The power of convenience must be immense for a lot of people.
8 was obviously an estimate. Replace with a different number. I have used it before and $25 per person wouldn’t be common for people who aren’t batshit insane with their money. Just as with most things, you can spend stupid amounts of money or you can be more sensible.
