Has anyone else noticed that recently it has become very expensive to order food?
Now Dominos, Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, Just Eat etc are putting extra money on for delivery charges
Deals are few and far between
I will probably go without food tonight, as I can’t afford to order in, and I have no meals left because I finished my food yesterday for weekly shop

I have heard its gas and cost of everything going up. Yeah no deals on food.
Grocery delivery is up too - even in store prices are up - everything up all around.
Best case is to shop on my own at the cheapest store.
I am in no position to be able to eat take out.
I’ve also noticed. I got Taco Bell about a month ago and it was about 11 US dollars for a three taco meal.
Ridiculous. It’s getting cheaper to just eat at home.

I am going to have to budget more supermarket food
My problem is my cooking skills and motivation to cook are in the toilet at the moment
Do you have Ramen noodles in the UK?
Here in the states you can get them dirt cheap. All you need to do is boil the noodles then you can add just about anything to them.

Yeah, supermarket prices are crazy, used to be Trader Joe’s was more expensive, now they’re about the same price as the big stores and the quality is better. But my food money doesn’t go far, coz I help out a friend of mine who is a single parent and diabetic and can’t always make ends meet. But it’s cool, coz I’m a master improviser in the kitchen, I can make a meal out of just about nothing!

I am not sure
Each week I buy the same things
Mmmm I dig it!
I love to make a bowl of chicken flavoured Ramen, then add a few big globs of sour cream and a bunch of jalapenos on top!

I’m quitting coffee to get rid of my last addiction and to save money. There are always some deals in the supermarket I go to.

I can fix something up with up to 4-5 ingredients.
But mostly I gravitate to 2 ingredient meals.

If you join restaurants’ loyalty programs they will send deals to you (like BOGO) and give you something on your birthday.
