It’s probably my favorite of the nationally available boxes. Plated had delicious recipes and the amount of packaging was mid-level, I’d say. I’ll definitely be trying them out again. They did say you have to be prepared for a little more intense cooking knowledge with this box, but they offer some great add-ons with extra proteins and veggies, and pantry items like eggs and bread. My friends who had a busy winter and are super-picky foodies love it and started using Acme Farms regularly over the last few months. We only did the trial box of 1 meal for 4 at $25.00, but they offer a Locavore box with options like Surf, Turf, Vegan, Grain-Free, Quick Meals and more. The Asian Pork burger recipe we tried was so good. But if you’re in these areas, the meals are delicious. They source local ingredients to the Pacific Northwest major cities of Portland, Seattle and the Bellingham area. They assume you have some of the more common spices and condiments so they eliminate packaging that way and, of course, they don’t have to ship this one across the country. Acme FarmsĪcme Farms was one of my favorites, but sadly it’s local only to the Northwest. The regular, non-coupon prices for Hello Fresh seem expensive and our tomatoes came damaged. But the Blue Apron sauces were more interesting. They have the same packaging problem as Blue Apron (below), though. Let’s check out the findings: Hello Freshįor Hello Fresh we did the family of 4, 2 meals a week ($69 but had a shopping code for $39.92). I tried out Hello Fresh, Acme Farms, Plated, Blue Apron and Sun Basket. I tried five different brands and was able to compare each in price, quality of recipes, quality of food and packaging.
Best part.īecause I’m a little late to the game here, I had many options from which to choose when it came to trying out these boxes. Meal delivery boxes aren’t a new thing, and I realize I’m a little late to the meal delivery party here, but I was excited to finally test some out and see what I thought…and NOT GO TO THE STORE. Real heavy problems here, but we all have our pet peeves. I really like being in the kitchen cooking and sharing a lovingly prepared meal with my family, but gracious how I loathe going to the grocery store! I hate all the options and the thinking involved, and “oh, did I get everything” and “crap I have to go back in for lemons.” I know.
