Any Opinions On HelloFresh/BlueApron/Etc.?

Do a search on them for this board. The topic has been brought up recently by a few posters

blue apron was a lot of work for food i didn't really want to eat

i did. thanks though. didn't see anything worth while. maybe i'm not searching the right terminology...?

I'm probably one of the more wasteful people when it comes to excessive use of throw away paper and plastic products (paper towels for everything, paper plates for lunch, ziplock bags instead of tupperware, etc) but the amount of trash I had to deal with while using Blue Apron seemed really excessive. Plus there are going to be nights when you don't want to cook but you feel obligated since you have the ingredients. It just became a little too cumbersome for our two person household.

My woman got a free trial of Hello Fresh so we got 3 free meals last week. They were 3 meals that I wouldn't have ever dreamed up cooking or eating, but we enjoyed them and it was nice to not go to the grocery store. Plus we had a good time "cooking" them together. I mean its really easy step by step instructions. It's hardly any food though. Don't think you'll have leftovers. We just did the two person and I was still hungry. The protein you get with each meal is tiny. If its chicken its like 1 chicken breast sliced in half. Fish was two small fillets. Fun for free. I wouldn't pay $60 a week or whatever absurd amount it is.

I've been doing Hello Fresh for a couple months and enjoy it. Sure, you could go to the grocery and spend less than $10 per meal but it's convenient and you get to try some stuff you normally wouldn't cook.

blue apron should have been free if you know someone with an account. you paid too much

I bet it's plenty for a petite female.

I might turn it on for next week. The burger and chicken chili looks pretty damn good

The first week I did it flavors were a bit much for my pregnant wife. Indonesian salmon, pibil pork- was a bit much
