Many of us lucky enough to have a reliable well paying job working from home probably realize they have food as almost the only fun we get these days when there are no events, no traveling, no restaurants.

I probably doubled my budget for food, both takeout and groceries, compared to last year. The wine delivery guy knows my name now.

A lot of people are used to eating at a workplace cafeteria or eating out as part of their normal routine. In my case I’ve shifted to ordering delivery or takeout for some meals which I almost never did before. I recognize that I’m privileged to be able to afford to do this, but I think it’s common among a big chunk of the population. People are checking on local restaurants and spreading the word about which are offering takeout to try to keep them going. I feel like it’s the least I can do to help.

Food delivery is surging during the pandemic interestingly: https://www.axios.com/food-delivery-coronavirus-a55e0bf2-a75...

Yeah, since the lockdown started we haven't had any takeaways, just cooking everything at home. Feels like ordering food in this situation is too frivolous.
