Why are our brains like this??

If I get to the checkout and my shopping for the week is £40-£50 I raise my eyebrows and it's like 'ugh, so expensive'. But £20 on takeaways twice a week is 'fine, just a little treat'. My money management is terrible.

instead of paying for takeaways, I choose to dine out, now that's a treat

Hmm. I can't say I am any more logical. $26.00 for take out, with TIP...seems cheap to me...I am used to $73.00 for Chinese takeout...(I always over-order rice and meats and heat them for leftovers).

If I were paying $67.00 for groceries, I would be delighted with my own frugality...because I am delighted with my frugality if I spend $100 with TIP for the Instacart delivery people.

Maybe because it hurts to pay bigger amounts at once rather than get poked little by little over time

I think we justify rewarding ourselves... Which may be a good thing if kept in check 🤔

Perhaps you could cut it down to once a week on a certain day?

@annamk ahhhhh
I don't do that unless delivery is free ... pizza or Chinese

@pdockal The apps have me hooked 😆 They usually send me free delivery or 10-30% offers every single week 😩

@annamk I'd rather cook in general that eat takeout in general

All our money management will have to go into double overtime during this inflation
