🍔 The Delivery Tax Nobody Calculates
A $15 restaurant meal becomes $25-30 through DoorDash after delivery fee ($3-6), service fee ($2-4), small order fee ($2), driver tip ($3-5), and menu markups (15-30% higher than in-store). Even WITH DashPass, you're paying 40-60% more than pickup. On 3 orders/week, that's $2,000-3,000/year in delivery overhead.
If you want to remove the temptation:

Some Chase credit cards include complimentary DashPass. If you have a Chase Sapphire or Freedom card, check your card benefits — you might have free DashPass that auto-activated. This is a separate subscription from paid DashPass, but canceling your card benefit doesn't affect a paid subscription and vice versa.
If you order DoorDash 3x/week at $25 average (delivered price):
💡 The Deletion Trick
Can't stop ordering? Delete your DoorDash account entirely. The friction of re-signing up, re-entering payment info, and re-adding addresses creates enough of a pause to break the habit. Most people who delete delivery apps report saving $200-400/month within the first month.
