    I generally order only when I can’t. Like when the day has been a hectic disaster, it’s 20 minutes from dinner, I haven’t had a chance to go to the store or cook, and the kids gotta eat. If it was just me alone I’d survive in crackers

      You’re not going to want to hear this, but to survive going forward and not be constantly ordering take out or fast food, we all have to do better in planning ahead. The world is full of poverty traps, and keeping people too busy to cook for themselves is part of the plan. Batch meals, soups, leftovers.

      I genuinely wish I was well off enough to have a “fuck it, it’s only $65” attitude lol.

      We meal prep/etc because, if we don’t, we’ll starve.
