Blue Apron?

I have some friends that appreciate it. My only concern is that it seems like a lot of wine clubs (i.e., a seemingly good deal at first glance, but there are always one or two items that aren't so appealing and that wind up being wasted).

I have a buddy who uses Blue Apron weekly, and he really enjoys it. It's a nice idea that is great for people who live on the inside of the city and may not be as willing to drive to the grocery regularly.

It's probably worth a short term try, but I doubt I would use it often.

I've been using it for a couple months now. I think the recipes are really good and it gets you to cook things you normally wouldn't cook or even order in a restaurant. Also I've noticed that I'm saving a lot of money by not eating out as often and not buying nearly as many groceries. I don't agree with the comment of having fish in every weeks recipes. In the time I've been using it I've only had fish twice and have been able to get a non-vegetarian option instead

Fiance and I have used Blue Apron for the past few months.

Pros:

Meals are well proportioned for 2 (600-700 cal per serving and even as a kinda overweight male it fills me up)

The package includes the right quantity of all the ingredients. Except for garlic, where they send a whole head of garlic even when the recipe calls for 2-3 cloves. You're responsible for salt, pepper, and oil.

Cuts down on shopping as 3 meals per week are included in the delivery

You can skip weeks if desired

Cooking with ingredients you'd never try, combining flavors, etc. I've been pleasantly surprised a few times.

Cons:

I haven't been impressed with many of the fish dishes, I've now compensated by seasoning myself vs. the supplied seasoning and that's been a little better

They say you can swap out meals, but once you do it "blacks out" one of the main options - usually the one you were looking forward to, so it's better just to take what they recommend.

You end up zesting a lot of lemons, oranges, etc... which can be cumbersome.

Sometimes you just want to go out on a night when the package arrives, but out of guilt you end up just cooking.

Tried it a month or two ago. Meal was good but not great. Quality ingredients.

I didn't like how they have the steps laid out. You look at the card at a glance and you think "oh this is gonna be easy, 6 steps!" And then when it's time to actually cook you see there are 20 mini-steps in each step.. I wound up cooking one of the meals we got (We opted for 2 meals for 3 and having leftovers). It was nothing short of a pain in the arse, and I do cook very often.
However, take that with a grain of salt because I don't really like following recipes.

I'd recommend trying it at least once. I could see where maybe a once a month delivery would put a fun spin on the normal cooking routine.
