Choose One: Cooking Your Food or Ordering From Doordash

[Nomad]

If you have to choose between cooking your food at home vs. ordering from Doordash and other similar services, what would you choose? What ate your reasons?
Even though I enjoy ordering foods, given a choice, I will prefer to cook at home. It is healthy and also a money saver.

Depends on my mood, but I rather cook my food than rely on a stranger to bring my food.

I… don’t really trust strangers with my food. It’s one thing to order from a restaurant yourself and have people prepare it, but trusting a stranger to bring you your food and hope it hasn’t been tampered with or something is another thing altogether. I prefer to cook at home.

I would choose to cook. I like eating at the restaurants but not ordering food through an app

Cooking food at home. Door dash is way too expensive! Not that it's even available where I live, but I've heard horror stories on costs from my coworkers.

These days, I am not always free, which means that I've been ordering meals through Deliveroo. They are prompt, and their customer service is excellent. I only make my meals during weekends when I am less busy.

I order food a lot, actually. I'm surprised (and impressed) that more people don't on this forum! Even at my previous job, we had an order-your-lunch program through Uber Eats for a while, later replaced by a virtual card that you could use through any delivery app of your choice or just use in person.

It's been a constant struggle for me to get away from ordering food, and I've been trying to do so for a while. In the last few weeks I've really been getting back into the swing of cooking, so I'm hoping that holds. I do actually enjoy cooking, despite all this. The biggest struggle for me has always been figuring out what to cook, but I think I've finally gotten ahead of it by starting to gather easy recipes that I can cycle through, plus strict meal planning on the weekends.

I prefer to cook my own food, and I rarely ever order food from doordash. I'd rather go directly to a restaurant or a fast food place to pick it up.

Cooking my food is a necessity I will never try to substitute under any circumstances. If I can not order anything to eat, I wouldn't hesitate doing it.
