I mentioned before that I tried Hello Fresh. They have a place but a
real foodies can do equal or better.

Ingredients are good quality
Quantity is good for two people.
Prep is not difficult, but it is not a big time saver. Most meals are 30
minutes or so.
It does save shopping trips
You do have packing material and a big ice pack to dispose of

Depending on your lifestyle, it is cheaper and faster than going to a
restaurant if you are a working couple. Cheaper than a restaurant but
certainly more than DIY

Some of the offerings are not what you may make as part of your routine.
One reason I tried it was I found I was getting into a rut making
similar meals over and over.

They have a place for working couples, but not so much for a real foodie
that likes to cook.
