The Best Takeout Deals + Delivery Apps

The struggle to come up with creative new recipes for breakfast, lunch, and inner is real. I love to cook and bake, but this mama is in serious need of a break. And with many restaurants now converting to a take-out only model, I thought I’d share the best takeout deals and delivery apps.

The Great American Takeout

The best way to support your favorite restaurants is to order takeout! Join The Great American Takeout Tuesday, March 31, 2020 and order at least one delivery or pick-up meal. This will help support an industry that employs more than 15 million Americans. Plus, you’ll help your local community by supporting the small businesses your family enjoys.
