For those that continually use services like Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, etc., how does justify using the cost?

With fees and tip added, it's almost double the cost, the food arrives cold and wait time is longer than you picking it up yourself.

Only if there's a significant offer of savings. Talking about like a free burger if you spend $10, or 40% off, and at that point, after fees/ tip it costs about what it'd cost for me to go get it. Otherwise, I just go get it.

Also how do you justify the absurd amounts of packaging waste?

I don't. It's ridiculous with delivery fees and tips. I have a freezer and a Costco membership, and I'm learning to cook which is actually gratifying.

Normally I use it when I don’t have time to cook something or go pick it up.

I typically cook at home. I’m a decent enough cook that it’s cheap and it taste better.

Unless I’m going fine dining. My cooking is better than most restaurants.
