How to save on food delivery costs in New Jersey

Sure, it’s the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also be the busiest time. Not only for your body and mind, but also your wallet.

After a day of setting up outdoor lights, hanging ornaments on the Christmas tree, or walking around the mall shopping for presents, the last thing you want to do is put together a full dinner.

That’s when the convenience of food delivery starts seeming really nice. Ordering out will still take a toll on your bank account, though, so you’ll want to go with the money-saving option.

What is the best food delivery app to use?

NetCredit did the work for you and found the most affordable food delivery apps in each state.

To find the answer, they sourced the price of a set list of popular items from Pizza Hut, KFC, Subway, McDonald’s, Popeyes, Burger King, and Taco Bell.

They then compared prices from the heavy-hitter apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub.

After summing up the prices of all the items for every chain in each state, the researchers at NetCredit were able to determine the cheapest service.

They found that Grubhub was the most affordable delivery app in 24 states, but New Jersey wasn’t one of them.
