Vent: People keep treating the monthly food budget like a suggestion

Every month I see folks in my apartment complex in Austin dropping $80 on DoorDash in a single weekend. I track my groceries to the dollar and meal prep Sundays. How do you stop yourself from blowing your food budget on takeout?

$80 in one weekend? That hurts.

Dude. $80 is brutal. My wallet hurts just reading that.

Lived through a similar thing last month when my sister visited and she ordered ubereats three times in one weekend. Had to keep myself from saying anything because @blair_nguyen knows how that goes. Meal prep is the only thing that saves me too, even if it gets boring by Thursday.
