No judgement

Keep the takeaway, lose the extras

  • Collect it yourself. Ordering for collection usually skips the delivery and service fees entirely, and the walk counts as movement.
  • Compare the menu prices. Some restaurants charge more on delivery apps than in store. Check their own site or menu before you order.
  • Pick your night. Make takeaway a planned treat rather than the default when you're tired. Cutting from two a week to one halves the bill above.
  • Have a fallback. Most takeaways happen because there's no plan. One quick meal you can make in 15 minutes beats the app.

The last line is optional: it resizes the calculator to fit so there's no inner scrollbar. If your site strips scripts, the first two lines work on their own.
