I signed up for Imperfect Produce about 6 months ago. I'm relatively happy with the service. Despite calling the produce "imperfect" often the freshness and taste is better than what I find at the store. Caveat, I have not liked the quality of the fruit so I stick to their vegetable offerings. The main driver for me sticking with the service so long is that a) we do not have to make grocery trips as frequently, b) my diet has improved. I feel a pressure to eat the veg we have on hand before the next delivery, which means eating veg for breakfast many days. And lunch. And twice for dinner.
I also don't own a car, and having services like this helps me continue the car-free lifestyle.
I am sympathetic to phatbeets' criticism. Despite leaning towards not changing my consumer habits, I will have to mull over their points and evaluate my priorities.
At some point though, I need to eat and if the service fits within my overall lifestyle but I care about community hunger, maybe I can donate a box of produce to a food shelter through IP?
