Food delivery from third-party apps. Not only is takeout already expensive, you are paying a 10–20% up charge on the menu, then there’s the fees and tip.

Coffee drinks. I have perfected the art of making one good cup of coffee at a time at home and when I did the math I realized I was spending ~$4-6 per day before and now I’m paying ~$0.75 per day with out lines or apps or being asked how to spell my simple name or whatever.
