    Make your own or buy then in shop best way to save money

    Delivery drivers like a tip but it is mandatory its poor paid work, I dont it myself and gave up because its crap money got no help with running the car and I tried two different businesses, one paid £4 plus £1 per order remember you can do 30+ miles a night another I did I got paid £6 no help to run car, its crap money hence why I gave up
  • I pay with my card and tell the delivery person I don't keep cash in the house.

    If paying over the phone then no but if it is cash on delivery then I usually overpay a little.

    Even when walking past a pizza place I think "£8-12 if I walk in there .... or I can go in the nearest supermarket/convenience store and pick one up for £3-5 and spend the rest of the money buying food for most of the rest of the week".

    You've a lot to learn about saving money.

    I woulden't ever tip for a pizza delivery.

    the tipping culture in this country is bizarre. People tip gents barbers for example for 5-10mins work. Yet they'll fly long-haul for 10hours and won't tip the cabin crew or the pilots!

    I disagree with tipping in restaurants also, but do so to avoid causing a scene.

    and don't even get me started on compulsory 'service charges' in restaurants!
