I was an imperfect customer, frankly it figuratively stunk. I was charged $14-$18 per week for around a pound of produce. It was mostly just overstock. Honestly, weird shaped produce was part of the fun for me. It was always on the brink of going very bad, so ironically even though it was just a pound I often threw some away. After a few weeks I realized that I could get the same value by simply buying some older produce at my grocery store for much cheaper. I can get a pound from any store here in the Chicago area for around $5 - $6. Also the "carbon savings" their website gave to me seemed pretty suspect. It seemed they were just spitting an average at me and not doing any hard calculations. It's curious that getting a pound of food each week delivered on a truck could actually be a net positive for the environment. I'm sure they can justify it but the premise itself seems kind of absurd. I was suckered in by the allure this article talks about. No more fancy food startups for me, let me just focus on using all of what I get from a conventional grocery store.
