So I lost 11 pounds in 7 weeks by getting sweetgreen for lunch. Place seems to get a lot of business but apparently they lose money on every salad they sell.
Like I press a button, and then boom 15 minutes later a salad shows up on my desk. It’s good for my health and time. Bad for whoever got suckered into buying their IPO.
I only order delivery food like once every 2 months. Almost always when I’m high and have a specific craving, or very occasionally if my partner and I are both wiped out by sickness or something.
I can’t justify $22+tip for a Chipotle burrito when we have food in the fridge.
We have a Sweetgreen not too far away but I haven’t been there. I do frequently go to Chopt, which seems like a similar concept and is very close to my house. I like it a lot, and even ate there today. I’d say I get takeout there 2-4 times a month.
I almost never order delivery from anywhere though.
Sincere congrats on healthi-ifying yourself eating low fat veggies and assorted rabbit foods. I am envious.
They opened a sweetgreen in my general area. I have not been there. It seems quite pricey. By my calculation, if I am correct, you spend about $20 per day for a salad (delivered including tax, title and license fee), or $100 per week, or $700 total to lose 11 pounds. So you spent about $64 per pound to lose weight.
It’s pricey. But I found out you don’t have to order a prebuilt. Nowadays you can DIY the food by buying the components separately and then assembling them by yourself, which is something I might try more often as you can see in my DIY food thread:
