What’s the thing that you’ve splurged most on during lockdown?
For me...a combination of take out and video games.

During lockdown I didn't shop for myself, and very few places deliver groceries. The one that does, locally typically costs about $40 more per delivery than buying at the places that DON'T deliver. Then there is a delivery fee on top of that. So every month, $50 to $100 more than I normally pay for food...and that was AFTER things calmed down and I was actually able to GET fresh food.
I ordered a lot of take out during that time until I became so upset with ALL the local delivery services. One of them, Grub Hub, had a driver who REFUSED to enter the building due to COVID19, and Door Dash could never, ever find my apartment. I used to have to call them and walk them through the directions. 98% of them didn't speak English, so it was a nightmare trying to use their service.
Then, I think because I was home so much, I started just...BUYING little things on the internet. It wasn't very much, but over a period of 1 year, it all added up.
