Food Bank Time

That won't even cover the Doordash charge.

I don't understand why people use doordash or food delivery.

Especially people with limited funds.

Places that limit free refills only say that because people try to abuse the system and load up a gallon container.

Those places, channel your inner boomer and feigning ignorance if you're caught.

As a Little Caesars fan who ordered $5 pizzas all the way up to 2021...

This was my wakeup call when everything got expensive.

[email protected]

Me neither. My daughter's prior bf had $200 in the bank and ordered Wendy's from doordash. There's a strong treat-yoself mentality that says everybody deserves a little luxury and makes it practically immoral to be frugal or contradict the "healthy food is too expensive" gospel etc.

Wow. I didn't realize they had online ordering. The times, they are a-changing.

I understand it for disabled people and I understand it for very busy people such as families with young kids but I don’t understand the majority of people who use it. Just go get it…

Also, it’s really hard to cook for one. I end up spending as much on food that goes bad before I can eat it as it would have cost me to get a $5 value meal.

I'm seeing that apparently but yeah, I'm up in Maine close to the border, almost every establishment that has those machines generally also have a sign that says no refill and I really can't think of any place here that advertises refills as free outside of coffee at dine in establishments.

Agreed. Amortized it much cheaper but when you have an empty kitchen with only a box of macaroni and cheese, getting groceries can feel very expensive.

They usually have a coupon code for $7.99 for any footlong, which isn't too bad.

I was taught cooking in school, graduated in 2014 is that far too long for your "taught anymore"?

[email protected]

Damn straight. I could feed myself for a day on $5 easy.

I could even stretch it to a weeks worth of meals, if shoplifting is allowed.

I graduated in 2009 and my school didn't teach us

[email protected]

My ex did, and was of limited funds. I think the answer is depression, apathy, and a good dose of financial illiteracy.

Just when I’m drunk

$5.99 where I'm at. You're getting gouged.

[email protected]

Definitely financial illiteracy.

I can afford it but refuse to use those services. They inflate the menu prices, add fees. I'm ok with tipping but not the rest of that.

Also, it's ridiculously inefficient compared to picking it up yourself. It's not just someone else is doing the drive for you. The delivery does work for the store so there is extra driving occurring, deadheading in trucker parlance.
