After realizing their food delivery expenses reached $2,500 in one month, a family took drastic measures to curb these costs. Despite their busy lifestyle, which included caring for teenagers and managing a chronic illness, they recognized the unsustainable nature of their indulgence in takeout. By limiting delivery options and planning meals in advance, they successfully reduced their monthly spending to less than $400, demonstrating a significant turnaround in their eating habits and budgeting practices.
However, we recently noticed that our spending had gotten extreme. At the beginning of the year, we were ordering dinner to be delivered several days a week.
The realization was shameful and more than a little embarrassing. Something had to change. We immediately made changes, including strict rules around delivery and planned dinner alternatives.
