I was surprised to see I had spent nearly $11,000 on DoorDash deliveries. I'm now cooking at home to save money.

I used to love ordering food. Working from home in Southern California meant I was at my desk at all hours of the day, and when hunger struck, my solution for everything was tapping that DoorDash icon on my phone. Late nights, early mornings, mid-afternoon slumps, DoorDash was my go-to for every meal. It was my daily routine, and I never thought twice about it.
