even for a given level of healthfullness preparing your own food is faster and cheaper. what's your point? the only thing meal kits have on making your own food is variety. that's ultimately what you're paying for.
- dragonwriter 9y agoMeal kits are making your own food. What you are paying for is, well, the "kit" part: not having to shop with potentially inconvenient sizes, and getting everything pre-measured for the meal.
- mothers 9y agosure. however meal kits are inferior to just going to the grocery store in most ways.
- greglindahl 9y agoI use the time I used to spend grocery shopping posting on HN. So I like the meal kits. Obviously ymmv.
- tjl 9y agoI just do my grocery shopping online. The company I use charges $9.99 for delivery and you have to order more than $45, but otherwise it's basically just a regular grocery store (they're owned by one). You have to do some planning since you won't get it until at least the following day, though. I order once a month.
- rplst8 9y agoI disagree entirely. I cannot get the ingredients for most of Plated meals for what they charge. I end up with lots of spoiled food, unless I make huge batches and eat the same thing all week.
- mothers 9y agodo you not have a fridge with a freezer?
