How often do you have a ‘takeaway’ ? And so you actually take it away or have it delivered’ ?

We have chinese delivered. But only have that when both adult off spring are home, so we can order a nice selection - don't bother just the 2 of us.
Ive never had one of those takeaway delivery service (uber eats, deliveroo).
We have a KFC and a McDonalds less than 5 minute drive away - which would be very dangerous if DH was into them more, but luckily for my waistline he doesnt really like them,and cooks

we rarely order for delivery, and have takeout that we collect once or twice a month. usually chippy tea, but sometimes pizza or chinese.

our favourite (traditional) chinese restaurant in town do takeout, but no delivery, so its cash on collection only, and im fine with that. its extremely rare we bother going anywhere else these days (we usually eat in)

good pizza doesn't travel, so IF we want takeout, we ask them to undercook it (and not slice) so we can throw it on a pizza steel under the grill for a few minutes when we get home (also means we can wait an hour or two before we eat

but the other night i really fancied a burger and placed a takeaway order for us all via just eat... cost £32.92...
(i'd not logged into JE in a couple of years, but had an £8 flyer through the door)

The exact same order on uber eats - £43.36, and £50.88 on deliveroo!

(i checked and to order directly and collect would have been £36.80)

it's an utter shambles the pricing varies so much. i dont mind it being up to a fiver difference, but wow, £18! thats ridiculous!
