[quote=Anonymous]$700/week is crazy!

I know a family who would be similar - she's a lawyer, he is the default parent but still working and having to drive around the city for meetings. Her parents live close by and will bring by food, or she eats at the office and dad+2 kids eat with grandparents. They started buying the food kits (blue apron type) so they do cook a few nights a week, but I swear to god, that family could live off wendys and a&w. And theyre so skinny!

I went crazy ordering during covid and had to cut back. We are just 2 adults but it's always minimum $50 for two meals plus tax, tip, delivery fee. Even a few nights a week we were hitting $200, which was about my limit.

I also noticed how much smaller the delivery portions were. For example, I go to this sushi/ramen restaurant, and you get a big bowl of ramen. I can eat half, pack the rest to go and it almost fills their takeout container. Order delivery (or even pick up) and they only fill up the regular takeout container, so getting half the amount you'd get in-restaurant, plus you're paying extra. So that was another reason I stopped. I am pretty cheap and don't like feeling cheated XD [/quote]
