    If you don’t have enough money to pay for delivery, you need to be picking it up yourself or, even better, cooking it yourself. DoorDash is horrendously expensive.

      I would say that paying for grocery delivery and cooking it yourself is better. Like, I live in the middle of nowhere, I get it … these services are eye wateringly expensive.

      Also, they squeeze their workers.

      Food delivery is almost 50-75% more than buying in the restaurant once you account for tip and service fees.

      They are useful if you literally can’t drive or cook due to an illness (me right now) but damn they are just terrible for everyday use.

      Exactly. If you’re even unsure if you can’t pay for delivery, you should be cooking almost every meal yourself. It’s not that hard to make healthy meals in a relatively small amount of time, find some meals you can make in bulk and have a meal-prep day.

      Don’t go into debt for delivery, it’s not worth it.
