We all have been in a bind at times and sometimes need food delivered to us rather than us go out to go get it. If you are lucky enough to have Uber Eats or Doordash or Grubhub in your town than you might be using these services to get your food but be careful how often you use them, why?
All these food delivery services are great but don’t forget you are truly paying for convenience. When these services started out, you only paid for the meal, delivery fee, and tip. Now, there is a service fee and small order fee too. Plus these fees range from $2.99 to 7.99! So your $7 meal could end up costing you $20! Insane prices to pay for convenience, right?
The only way that I’m ok with paying these prices is 1) if the food I’m getting is coming from somewhere far from me, 2) the food is good, 3) the service is good and 4) the food is healthy. Yes, these are great things to consider when ordering the food but if you need to convince yourself the fees are worth it, hopefully, the meals are feeding a family instead of just one person otherwise other meal prep services and kits are properly better for an individual.
Eat well and be healthy but save your money too if you can!
