Once you use it a couple times the convenience of these apps grabs you and you don't realize how much you're spending until you do something like this. It's basically the same psychological trick that microtransactions in video games use, just keep spending here and there and then you wake up and your account is banned and the $5000 you spent on skins including the $200 you spent on loot crates to get the Hextech Annie is all gone.
I've used them before and typically feel like shit afterwards. I have permanent frugal brain from being homeless for a while.
I've ordered with those apps a few times when I was too depressed to make food or get groceries and seeing like 20+ dollars in fees always felt like shit.
