The $40 cash envelope that killed my food delivery habit in one month

Honestly, I was dropping like $300 a month on DoorDash without thinking. Last month I pulled out $200 in cash, split it into four $50 envelopes for each week, and left my cards at home on purpose. When the third week's envelope ran dry by Tuesday, I had to actually cook with what was in my fridge. That forced me to meal plan every Sunday for 20 minutes, and I ended up at $160 total for the month. Has anyone else tried the envelope method for groceries or eating out, or did you find a different trick that actually sticks?

Wait, you only spent $160 total on food for an entire month?
