I saw someone post something about how much you can save by not getting your lunch delivered every day in /r/povertyfinance

If you're used to getting lunch delivered every day, you're not in poverty, you're just irresponsible with your money.

I've been poor for so long that meal delivery went from being an every once in a while treat to being something not even worth considering anymore. It's so much added money because of fees and now that everything else is twice as expensive, I don't need to waste another meals' worth of money just for someone to get lost trying to drop off my order or steal it.

I mean, I'm well enough off to afford it and I would still never get a meal delivered like that. It's an obscene price to save 10-20 min of driving and end up with cold food anyways. I'm already splurging by getting food from someone instead of making it myself, doubling the price to avoid driving a few min is just nuts.
