[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For our family, eating out was the big "hidden" expense. It's just so convenient to pull up Door Dash and order what everyone wants, but then I have to stop and think about how that quick delivery from Noodles and Company of lunch for a family of 5 ended up being a hundred bucks.[/quote]

yes, there are a lot of hidden fees at Door Dash/Uber Eats etc. delivery charge + service charge + tipping. Once I realized how much it adds (I'd say 20%), I started just calling and doing takeout. Less convenient, but if you stick to restaurants relatively close to you, it will be cheaper. [/quote]

Funny, but for some reason, I have a habit of not including daily coffee and food deliveries as "eating out." In my head eating out consist of physically going to a restaurant in he evening and being served by a waiter, which is an uncommon expense for me. However, grabbing a salad from Sweet Green and daily coffee from Dunkin is common for me and quite costly.[/quote]
