monthly cell phone plan bills pales in comparison to eating out daily. if your spending 70-100/day on eating alone that is more than any utility bill/cell phone plan combined.

Are people really spending that much on food delivery? That would be totally absurd.

In my part of the USA, a family can easily obtain take-out meals for $10 per person or less. That's not including a taxi for the food, but picking it up yourself. Takes me about 5-10 minutes in the car to do so.

But also nobody needs a $200 phone plan. Mine is under $50/mo with unlimited data.
