Meal Delivery Service

[Mrs. Ciz]

I tried Plated (the most expensive one, so I dropped it), Hello Fresh and Blue Apron. I alternated HF and BA each week for 4 months this Fall. Over that time period, I decided that I like HF better than BA. Blue Apron had WAY TOO MUCH KALE. I don't like kale at all anymore. I felt like Hello Fresh had more varied and international type recipes, which suited DH and me better. I also like that I can put a skip on HF for 2 months at a time if I want. The BA skip time was way too short. I needed to skip for 5 plus weeks when my college kids came home for Christmas break. I was able to skip that whole time with HF, but I forgot to go back and extend my skip with BA and got 2 boxes I didn't really want.

I also kept all the recipes and have made a few of the dishes on my own.

I sometimes see sponsored "news" articles that claim meal delivery services "save you money." Yeah, sure.

I suppose that's true if one normally eats out every night or is totally incompetent when it comes to grocery shopping and meal preparation.
