The article says the prices are cheaper. Do you have evidence this is not so?
- jerkstate 7y agoI was a subscriber for a while and I am pretty sure it was more expensive than the store, IIRC it was about $35 - you can definitely get more than a small box of vegetables at the store for $35. I think the bottom line is that courier delivery is not as cheap as depot delivery (i.e. to the store) although it can be more convenient (i.e. Blue Apron, Amazon, etc) I didn't find produce boxes to be convenient at all, because unless you actively manage your deliveries you end up needing to go shopping anyways to get other ingredients to fill out recipes made from the stuff that comes in the box (like, fennel doesn't go with everything, I don't really like chard by itself, etc) and as noted above the veggies are frequently past their prime.
