Do you guys / your wives use a meal service to save time? We used to use Sunbasket fresh and ready but cost got crazy. Any recs like this that are cheaper and still good quality?

We found someone who makes food for us, we pick it up from them and we pay them directly. It’s cheaper using this option, try if you can find someone like this

It’s not NYC. As D1 said we found this person in a small grocery store. The store owners wife cooks meal

Truthfully, we went away from HelloFresh a while back on the premise that it was getting to be too expensive. Ended up spending a LOT more at the grocery store, so we've recently started back. Food prices are up around the board.
For any KPMG'ers, we get 15% off HelloFresh every week for an entire year. Personally, we do 3 meals per week and it's hard to beat $60

It took us a while, but you learn ways to compress cooking time or use the time to cook more meals. We try to have 3 dinners prepared and it’s honestly not that much effort.

Never understood the value of meal kits. Over priced, you have to follow their recipe exactly or it defeats the purpose — and isn’t it horrible for your carbon footprint?

We use cook unity and it works well because we are able to meal plan + have variety + eat healthy while saving precious time

Following. We’ve tried a few different ones but the cost gets to us. We also got bored of the options. We would like to find something that helps with meals a few times a week.

Same thing. Small portions and high prices

We meal prep on Sundays. Make two to three different meals for the week. We both became better at it over time, give it a try, there is ton of videos on how to cook on YT and Insta.

Yes, this. I didn’t see the time savings to make meal services worth it. Grilling a few meals worth of chicken, having quick-steam fresh veggies, making soup and freezing a couple meals worth, and having lots of healthy snacks (“energy balls” made from peanut butter, a little cocoa, and a touch of salt and sugar—replaced breakfast for me a number of times).

We use hello fresh or blue apron for 3 meals a week. Cool the rest of the time.

HungryRoot has plenty of vegan/gluten free options, and the recipes are reliably pretty simple. We’ve enjoyed it as a way to conveniently keep out plant intake high during busy weeks.

My pie day pie (belated!) Ina Garten’s chocolate banana cream recipe. My first time ever making a pudding.

Deffo recommend trying it!
