DoorDash DoubleDash Saved Our Lunch (and Our Sanity, tbh)

Okay you guys, I have to spill the tea on something that has legitimately made our lives so much easier lately, especially around lunch time. If you follow me at all, you know Tanner and I are like, polar opposites in so many ways (which is why we work, ngl), but it also means our food preferences are WILDLY different. Like, I'm over here craving a giant salad with all the veggies and a green juice, and he's like, 'I need a burger. A really big burger. With fries.' And then the girls have their own ideas, and baby Cherry just wants milk, bless her heart. It used to be a whole thing, you know? Like, who compromises? Who gives in? Do we make two separate meals? Do we just starve? Hahah, I'm being dramatic but also not really bc hunger makes me a little hangry, I'm not gonna lie.

But then, DoorDash came in with this DoubleDash feature, and I'm telling you, it's been a total game changer for us. I'm not even kidding. It's like they heard my silent prayers for a way to get a salad AND a burger without having to order from two different places and pay two delivery fees. Heaven on earth fr.

How DoubleDash Works (and Why It's My New Fave)

So here's the deal with DoubleDash. It's actually super simple, which I love bc I'm all about making things easy, especially when you're juggling three little ones. Basically, when you're ordering your food on DoorDash, you can add items from a *second* nearby store to your order. And the best part? No additional delivery fee! I know, right? My mind was blown when I first heard about it. Like, what? You mean I can get my healthy bowl from one place and Tanner can get his greasy (but delicious, I guess) burger from another, and we only pay one delivery fee? Sign me up, yesterday!

It's not just for different meal types either. I've used it to grab some forgotten groceries while I'm ordering dinner, or even to pick up a treat for Stella and Ozzy from a different spot. Like, maybe I'm ordering sushi for myself (Tanner is NOT a sushi guy, bless his heart) and then I can add some ice cream from a local shop for the girls' dessert. It's just so convenient. I h8 that about myself sometimes, how much I love convenience, but when you're a mom, time is gold, you know? Every little bit helps.

No More "What Do You Want to Eat?" Arguments

Honestly, the biggest win for us with DoubleDash has been cutting down on those endless "what do you wanna eat?" conversations. You know the ones. They go in circles forever, and then you're both just more hungry and annoyed than when you started. Now, we can literally both open the DoorDash app, pick what we want from our favorite spots, and then just combine the order. It's so seamless. Tanner still tries to convince me to get a burger with him sometimes, but I just tell him, "Babe, it's DoubleDash for a reason!" hahah. He gets it. He's my biggest hype man, even if he secretly wishes I'd join him in burger land.

I feel like it's given us back a little bit of control over our own cravings without making someone else compromise. And as a mom, I'm always trying to make sure everyone feels heard and happy, so this extends to our lunch choices too, I guess. It's the little things, right?

Beyond Lunch: My Other DoubleDash Ideas

Okay, so while we use it a lot for lunch, I've been thinking about all the other ways this could be super helpful. Like:

• Snack Attack: You're ordering dinner, but you realize you're out of the girls' favorite fruit snacks or a specific juice. Add it from a nearby convenience store!
• Party Prep: Getting food for a get-together, but forgot the ice or some extra napkins? DoubleDash it!
• Late-Night Cravings: You want a late-night snack from one place, but your partner wants something totally different. Problem solved.
• Breakfast Bliss: Coffee from your favorite cafe and a bagel from another spot? Yes, please!

The possibilities are pretty endless, and it just makes life a little less stressful, which is always a win in my book. I'm all about finding those little hacks that make the day-to-day feel a bit lighter. And when you're a busy mom, those moments of ease are priceless. I couldn't imagine going back to the old way, tbh. This is just too good.

A Little Note on the Details

Just a heads up, bc I always like to be real with you guys: while there's no additional delivery fee for the second store, other fees (like service fees) still apply. And your orders might arrive separately, which makes sense since they're coming from different places, but it's good to know so you're not wondering where your second bag is. You can always check the terms on the DoorDash app for all the specifics, but for us, it's totally worth it for the convenience and the peace of mind. It's just made our meal times so much smoother, and that's a huge win in our house.

So yeah, if you're like us and have totally different food vibes in your household, or if you just want to make your life a little easier, you gotta check out DoorDash DoubleDash. It's been a lifesaver for our family, and I just know it'll be for yours too. Let me know if you try it! I love hearing what you guys think. Sending all my love! ❤
