12765861, Anyone using Blue Apron? Posted by legsdiamond, Sun Mar-29-15 01:02 PM
https://www.blueapron.com
Not sure if its stuntin or if we would actually save money. I like to cook but anytime I try to get too creative I end up spending 25.00 on one meal after buying all the ingredients.

12765912, $20 for a family of 2. Posted by legsdiamond, Sun Mar-29-15 03:53 PM
which is still a lot but I keep comparing what we spend when we go out to eat.
I spend way less when cooking at home but once I add in the drive, time it takes to shop and how boring some of the meals are it makes me go hmm???

12765913, I don't see it as a way to save money, so much Posted by Teknontheou, Sun Mar-29-15 03:55 PM
as a way to learn how to make certain dishes without havibgvto gather up tye ingredients myself. It's a fun date, too.

12765916, exactly... first time I tried to cook some shit I saw on tv I spent 40 dollars Posted by legsdiamond, Sun Mar-29-15 04:02 PM
and it wasnt a success.
I'm comparing this to eaing out...
I know how to shop at a grocery store and save money. I have been doing that shit for 25 years..

realized i'm too picky for it
good stuff if you aren't picky and have lots of time ~~~~ When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices. Live so that when you die, you rejoice, and the world cries. ~~~~ You cannot hate people for their own good.

12766244, damn, I thought this would cut down on time Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Mar-30-15 09:48 AM

12766429, cuts down shopping time Posted by MiracleRic, Mon Mar-30-15 11:16 AM
but it takes a bit of a system and/or teamwork for prep time and cook time to be accurate...
i can't cook or hate cooking and so it's perfect for me to learn and to do shit with my wife
it works but it's definitely something u have to make time for
but we don't go to the store as often so it's pretty much a wash

12766260, ...tried it... but the time for the meals... wasn't our goal. Posted by Walk On, Mon Mar-30-15 09:55 AM

12766445, It's cool for variety - I wouldn't count on it to save your time or money, tho. Posted by spades, Mon Mar-30-15 11:21 AM

12766451, i got a free week from a friend. i liked it, but like a couple people said... Posted by earthseed, Mon Mar-30-15 11:23 AM
the prep time etc was a deterrent.
but i kept all those recipe cards. will try some later.
