12811580, Anybody using Blue Apron? Posted by Amritsar, Thu May-21-15 12:43 PM
https://www.blueapron.com
tired of eating out all the time
I have a colleague who swears by this service. The meals looks easy enough for a beginner -- which I am.
Have you tried this out?

12811588, I did it for a few weeks - it's great. Posted by Teknontheou, Thu May-21-15 12:45 PM
I don't have the time or energy to really cook cook every day, though.
If you're a hearty eater, it's still enough food for two people, and if you eat less, 3 people could probably handle it.

12811611, yeah I feel like I'd be all into it first couple weeks or months Posted by Amritsar, Thu May-21-15 12:54 PM
and then go back to being lazy as shit lol

I live alone so its just for me. It didnt have an option for one person meals, only two. Pretty sure i'll have plenty of leftovers for lunch
Seems like a great way to learn new recipes as well. EVen though you don't use it anymore, do you still make a few of the dishes ?

12811613, Yeah we just tried the free week Posted by T Reynolds, Thu May-21-15 12:55 PM
3 meals for 2 ppl
FOR FREE FOOL (usually 60 bucks)
yeah it was the shit
We got quesadillas, pozole, and enchiladas (my girl adapted these from nopales to chicken, they were dumb good.) The pozole was ridiculously good.
The debate we had is whether 60 is too much for 6 meals, but it's essentially what you would pay eating fast food but much healthier and you can utilize the ingredients however you like, and also if it's worth it to get the meals if you don't like one of the meals in a particular week (it's not)
We probably will try it going forward from time to time but will not be doing it on the reg due to schedule issues.

12811625, Plus it's good practice so you can make the meals again on Posted by Teknontheou, Thu May-21-15 01:00 PM
your own.

12811626, i love blue apron, but i'mma tell you the one problem.... Posted by MrThomas43423, Thu May-21-15 01:01 PM
that shit is a lot of work. when they say you do everything but shop for the food...they mean it. they could help you out a little more, but they want you to enjoy the whole experience. i had a friend say they should put a sous chef in the box with everything else.
but its fun. good meals. and for $10 a meal....it saves money cause when i eat out, i have a tendency to drink a lot more. --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.
not compassionate....only polite.
I am not like you at all and i cannot pretend.

12811639, I did it for some months. I dug it. Posted by spades, Thu May-21-15 01:06 PM
It CAN be a lot of work tho. It's great for broadening your palette and repetroire.

Yeah all these look interesting. I would probably go with Munchery because there's no cooking involved lol

12812699, all of them are no cooking involved. Posted by gusto, Fri May-22-15 11:37 AM
Munchery is my favorite, it has the most choices. Sprig and Spoonrocket are mostly the same. Its like Uber for meals i guess. I got some free meal codes if you wanna try em out for free. hustle. http://sprkt.io/a753?p=1&s=4 http://munchery.com/invite/gusto https://www.sprig.com/#/invite/Matias2PD

12812445, Didn't realize how many similar services are out there Posted by Amritsar, Fri May-22-15 08:42 AM
Be a good idea to invest in a few of these companies
The idea should be a big hit with working professional millenials
We don't cook for shit lol
|
12812591, i like it...lot of prep though Posted by MiracleRic, Fri May-22-15 10:42 AM
but it's a decent price, good variety, and the practice cooking is well worth it to be honest
