My husband and I decided to try blue apron after adding up our weekly food bill that consisted mostly of eating out and a few hurried meals if I could make it to the grocery store after football, basketball, etc. We are both foodies and love to cook but the time to plan and shop was the problem. Blue apron delivers 3 meals a week that we choose. The portions are really made for 2 to 3 people, but we stretch it to feed 4 by adding another vegetable or grain, etc. The only thing you really need is eggs, salt, pepper and olive oil, everything else is provided. All the meals have been tasty and easy to make. The service is cheaper than Plated and they have just added a monthly wine pairing for an extra $65 a month. I think the service could be improved if they had portions to feed a family of 4 for 5 days I have yet to find any meal service that provides this. In addition, they limit your choices each week. For example, you can choose 3 meals out of about 7, but if you select certain meals it eliminates other selections automatically. I would also suggest a desert selection. Overall, my family is enjoying the service and the home cooked meals. I would recommend highly recommend it.
