    2026/06/05
    In episode 32 of Frugal Living with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down the real cost of convenience in food delivery apps.

Luna shares a personal anecdote about a friend who spent over $1,200 in delivery fees in one year without realizing it. They discuss the psychological tricks apps use to encourage impulse spending, like countdown timers and minimum order thresholds. The episode concludes with practical strategies: calling the restaurant directly, picking up instead of ordering in, and using a no-delivery challenge for a month to reset habits.
