Good bye Freshly

[bill_schubert]

I cancelled Freshly, the latest in my delivery group.  What caused the final rift was a pulled pork dish.  I heated it up and took a taste.  It was tolerable, but not by much.  I looked at the list of ingredients.  The first one was cauliflower.  

Nearly all the Freshly stuff is like that.  They really push the vegetables and kind of grind them all together.  So rather than have pepper slices, which would be OK, they have kind of chopped them to a very fine size and mushed them all together with, apparently, a lot of cauliflower and other stuff and a little pulled pork.

None of the meals were the best I've had.  Most were just OK.  None inspiring.

Since they were the most expensive per serving and we can get the same sort of thing at HEB (ie — single serving, ready to microwave or bake) for less money I cancelled the subscription.  It was easy to do, fortunately.

I think for the right pallet the food would work.  Just not mine.

We still have HelloFresh, HomeChef and Dinnerly in rotation.

Which of the three has the best offerings at the most reasonable cost? Or is that exactly why you have a rotation?

Dinnerly is $6.90 per meal, cook it yourself. The meat tends to be lower quality but still, for the price, excellent.

Home Chef and Hello Fresh are about the same at about $11.20, cook it yourself. Right much prep work but much higher quality. Of the two I think Hello Fresh is the better.

Any given week I usually check Dinnerly first and then the other two. If Dinnerly has what I want I'll take that. Otherwise I'll take the one of the other two I like.

Let me know if you want to try one and I'll send a coupon.
