Better than these services would be a site that tells you how to shop for meals and prepare them in bulk -- sort of "make your own meal kits". It would be more efficient, healthier, and more educational.

- joeskyyy 9y agoPlatejoy[1] does this. I did their trial a while back and they've got some great meal ideas. One thing I like about this, is that there's no potential waste compared to Blue Apron and the like. Also being able to specify dietary restrictions and stuff while getting a nice grocery list was pretty great (: While yes, I can spend time researching things, picking things out, etc. all for free, sometimes I do just want the experience to be catered. Add on top of that an automated, weekly/bi-weekly grocery list was pretty damn cool. Otherwise, I typically end up making the same boring meals I already know. I didn't continue with them because my boyfriend is a pretty amazing cook, so I just leave cooking to him instead haha [1] https://www.platejoy.com/ https://www.platejoy.com/
- acomjean 9y agoWe use it to try and burn through CSA veggies. Works well. Though it needs a CSA mode so you can tell it I got way too much swiss chard and it needs to be cooked..

- kawfey 9y agoBetter yet, if supermarkets would bundle produce and meats into ready-to-prepare packages to compete with meal delivery. The one reason why I still buy meal delivery is because I hate wasting food and figuring out what to make. I don't need 50 lbs of spinach, a whole farm's worth of chive, and I can never find serrano chilis or hoison sauce, for example.
