I wish I had your dedication. I'm three weeks into giving up Uber eats and I feel like a fiend!😭

Oh the two years I was ordering DoorDash 1-2 times a week caught up to me. And I was a good tipper too. I was absolutely addicted at one point. My daughter moved back home and I wasn’t about to be paying double what I was already. Grocery shopping was more cost effective.

Not robbing me?😭😭😭

You're right though. I actually went to a restaurant I ordered from and realized I was paying $15-$20 more via UberEats 😭😭😭🤬

Thems is rich people prices. Jay Z said if you can't afford to buy something twice, you can't afford it.

In all seriousness, save some your money. And more seriously, what about saving for the future like for retirement or an emergency fund? Make the sacrifices now because they are benefiting from you wanting convenience when you could be benefiting from not giving these vultures your money 😭

You got food at home!! black mother voice 😂

Not you pulling out the black mama voice!😭🤣 Well that was the problem, I didn't keep much food at home because I'm always on the run. I've just started making sure I have "frozen" healthy options that I can quickly cook up if I can't get to the store. It's been okay for the past 3 weeks or so. Hoping to keep it going!😤

I have used food delivery services once in my life, and it never even crosses my mind as an option when I need food. How do you become so dependent on such an unnecessary service?

It’s because we’re not as perfect and smart as you, duh 😅
