Spent $600 on a meal plan service and ended up with more debt

I signed up for a fancy meal kit delivery thing 3 months ago, thinking it would stop me from eating out so much. Instead, I racked up $600 in charges on my card because I kept forgetting to pause the subscription when I was out of town. The food went bad in my fridge twice, and I still ordered pizza anyway. Has anyone else fallen for a 'money saving' service that actually cost them more?

I totally thought meal kits would save me money too, but you're right - they really don't if you're not on top of it. That 'forgetting to pause' thing hit home, I let mine run an extra month while I was on vacation and came back to a fridge full of moldy basil.

Felt that @kelly61, I wasted like $80 on boxes I didn't even open once.
