The average American will spend over a HUNDRED GRAND on delivery and takeout in their life, according to a new study.  And in some cities, it's even more than that.

People in Seattle spend the most on delivery and takeout . . . $210 a month.  That's about $2,500 a year, or just over $151,000 over the course of 60 years.

The top five cities are Seattle, $210 a month . . . Pittsburgh, $199 . . . San Francisco, $195 . . . Austin, $189 . . . and San Jose, $188.

The cities where people spend the least are Detroit, $142 a month . . . Memphis, $146 . . . Richmond, Virginia, $148 . . . Cleveland, $149 . . . and Birmingham, Alabama, $150.

But people in Cleveland actually spend the highest percentage of their paycheck on delivery and takeout.  And Miami and Detroit also spend over 6% of their income on it.

The study also looked at how much you'd save if you never ordered out, and only cooked at home.  The answer is somewhere between $80 and $120 a month . . . or $58,000 to $86,000 over the course of your life.
