Instacart handles groceries for about $100 a year. Drizzly picks up alcohol if we're throwing a party or get-together. Amazon Prime handles almost everything else. Some months are more expensive because of doctor's appointments or an unexpected trip to the Apple Genius Bar and the like, but it's always still a win. I'll get a ZipCar for about $40 if we want to take the whole day and travel about here and there. When we go out in the evenings, I usually order a beer or a cocktail with dinner, so I'd rather not drive; and parking in Austin during the weekend hours can easily be more expensive than the Uber rides. We categorize that under our Entertainment budget because we'd still take Uber for nights out even if we owned a car, but even if I recategorized it as transportation it wouldn't affect the results of the equation. A large part of my lifestyle is subsidized by investors trying to capture a global market (Uber, Instacart, to some extent Amazon), and I recognize that this may not last forever, but I'm happy to game the system while I can.
