I did it less than 4 times since the pandemic started. Mainly, because it's way too expensive. I was better off just making one huge trip to the grocery store or getting my veggies delivered. After that I cooked.

Once I got more comfortable going outside it was just cheaper to go to the place and pick it up myself. Also, better for the restaurant, too.

Depression got me addicted to it for over a year. Was spending so much god damn money because I couldn't be bothered moving but also felt like eating shit food most nights.
Getting better and healthier now and trying to never touch it again in my life.
It's not worth ordering it, the prices are so marked up compared to in-store and deliveries are always retarded, at least a third of the time they were some shitskin that decided a scooter was a good idea for an unsecured drink and it would explode in the bag. Had to refund so many times over a few months Uber Eats banned me from the app for a while.

in China they're pretty good. no mark-ups, discounts galore, fast delivery, and 99% of shops are covered by the app. many shops open all night too. if I wanted to get drunk at 2am I could just press a few buttons on my phone and booze would appear within an hour. McDonalds, too, was 24 hours. even small little shops were on the app. you could get really cheap and delicious food for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and it would only cost the equivalent of a few dollars. if you wanted to cook yourself, you can use the same app to get fresh groceries. they are lightyears ahead with this stuff.
