DoorDash has, for many people, become a substitute for frozen meals, despite being less convenient and radically more expensive. And a lot of frozen meals taste fine, plenty of chain restaurants are actually serving that.

The replies to this tweet, which puts the bar as low as possible (frozen foods), somehow receives gratuitous pushback. Examples:

One pot pie is 600 calories

Unless it's like Stouffer's or hungry man frozen dinners, McDonald's is much worse than any frozen option.

This one is the funniest to me. Somehow this person is distressed by the prospect of taking a meal out of the freezer and into the microwave.

If you have a dishwasher there is no excuse not to cook every night. If you don't have a dishwasher you can't afford DoorDash so still have no excuse.

This post has serious peasant energy, not interested in cooking and cleaning![:marseyno: :marseyno:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseyno.webp)
We get a meal service from a local place and it's pretty awesome. It's probably healthier than my normal cooking and not _that_ expensive. 100% worth it.

It certainly feels that way, my parents are in their 60s and have way more energy than me.

Just because you overspend on adult lunchables doesn't mean you're not a pleb.

Our grocery budget went up ~50% or so, but in terms of $/hour it's worth it. We also started doing Instacart for the groceries we do need to buy because spending an hour and a half of my Saturday at the store is pretty lame.
