I once ordered Blue Apron and the food rotted my spleen, and practically liquefied my colon. The doctor said I had a liver like patè. Wouldn’t recommend.

Why should I let someone else think for me? I’d rather use my own brain and be creative with my own food.

So much waste! And no, whataboutism saying grocery store’s waste more is not a good argument.

I think so too, it’s just if you’re working 50 or 60 hrs a week and you don’t feel like going to the supermarket then you’re not gonna care that it costs more because of the convenience factor. Price and convenience vary directly. The more convenient something is the higher the price. The service seems like it’s for busy people who make a lot of money

Blue apron is a really good service it’s nice not having to worry about what to make when you get home. After canceling my subscription I kept the recipe cards and still make them.

Do their food (all of that they offer, including the one in the microwave) have any kind of additive ?
Or everything is fresh and natural, without extra ingredients that most people don’t know what they mean?

Totally agree. Better meals and I’m not eating out as much which when you add up the cost and calories, it’s a lot.

Only happens in America. Buy a box of do it yourself uncooked meal and spend 3x the amount. No thanks.

A terrable review, this guy talked a lot about nothing. “I really liked the french toast”, bread and egg wow dude, amazing. Maybe less jive and hype about the company you got paid to review and more meal choices and food.
