      This. Skipping a meal to afford food delivery is not a financial problem. It’s like saying “I am poor because I can only afford to drive one way with my Lamborghini and have to walk home”.

        I mean, there are good reasons why people would choose to order food rather than cooking it: no time between three jobs, disabilities and so on. My comment wasn’t meant as an offense.

        You misunderstood: I’m not doing it to afford food delivery, but because the restaurant I’m ordering at has a minimum order value and I don’t want to throw half of it in the trash.

        For example: I want pizza and it’s 12€, but the place won’t deliver for orders less than 20€. So I have to add some idk lasgna or a second pizza. I end up with food for more than 1 meal, so I skip the other meals to be able to eat it while it’s fresh. Simetimes I save a bit fir later, but it’s nit the same quality.

          Sorry, I indeed misunderstood. Looks like, I was not the only one. So, you’re not wasting money, neither do you waste food. It seems you’re just a camel :)

      I do that sometimes, but I’m rich so I usually don’t feel like doing it.
