It is a convenience you will pay for, but experts said there are ways to keep your stomach and wallet full.
First, try to scale back on your orders.
Food for delivery can come with higher prices and extra fees. Instead, do the pickup yourself.
Or save by buying more frozen, prepared foods at the grocery store for quick meals. Like keeping a frozen pizza on hand at all times so a meal can be made quickly.
Order a main meal only and do your appetizer with things you have at home.
A budget can also help reign in food spending. Let technology do the hard work for you. There are a lot of apps you can use, like Mint.
Get money off delivery orders by using coupon codes. Find sites like CouponCabin.com.
Cash back apps like Fetch Rewards will allow you to get more meals for free.
Plus, make larger meals when you do cook and freeze the leftovers so they are easy to reheat on another night.
