I heard about Blue Apron but I'm looking at local ones in the Seattle area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-a-meal-delivery-service#post-1131007 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 05:03:34 +0000 Grace 1131007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a huge gift cert for a place as a baby shower gift. I love it! It's the perfect amount of cooking for when Paige is small. And they can all be frozen too, so I just stocked up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-a-meal-delivery-service#post-1131005 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 05:00:21 +0000 MapleMoose 1131005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never tried this. Although I enjoy cooking and I know I could make a meal for much less than $12/meal so I probably won't try it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-a-meal-delivery-service#post-1130806 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 22:27:41 +0000 maybebaby 1130806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: this was the offer I tried! </p> [attach=2635/13/mu4ka6.400x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-a-meal-delivery-service#post-1130794 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 22:19:48 +0000 hellobeeboston 1130794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh - I was thinking of trying Plated - just saw a friend do this on FB. Seems like a good idea - I mostly have issues coming up with ideas for dinners! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-a-meal-delivery-service#post-1130739 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 21:56:12 +0000 shinymama 1130739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I've done Dream Dinners where you go in and build multiple meals based on your portion preference and cook later. Super convenient on crazy, busy days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-a-meal-delivery-service#post-1130708 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 21:44:50 +0000 T-Mom 1130708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've looked into a similar service in my area but haven't ever tried it! The only thing was that I didn't feel like it would save me that much time since I would still have to cook it, and it was kind of pricey. But definitely something I've considered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-a-meal-delivery-service#post-1130701 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 21:41:44 +0000 maybebaby 1130701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Nice! I would definitely consider it if it was local and I could get more coupons. The other thing that bothered me about it was all the packaging/cooling things that had to go with it. Feels kind of ridiculous for the amount of food and it made me feel wasteful.</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: Haha! I do love to cook so if that wasn't the case this would never have appealed to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-a-meal-delivery-service#post-1130687 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 21:38:26 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1130687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UM, NO! I'd pay $12 for a cooked meal to get to me:)<br /> Other than Chinese and pizza, nothing else delivers here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-a-meal-delivery-service#post-1130686 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 21:38:16 +0000 chopsuey 1130686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I used to order food from Dinner A'fare. Very similar to what you tried. </p> <p>They're local so delivery is free and they're always sending me coupons too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-a-meal-delivery-service#post-1130675 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 21:34:21 +0000 maybebaby 1130675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just tried Plated. For $12/plate (one meal) they send you all the ingredients pre-measured and instruction for making a delicious and healthy meal. We had a coupon code to try 6 meals and just pay $10 shipping. It was delicious and convenient. Nothing was so hard to make that I couldn't easily replicate it--it was really nice to try. But I never would order it again without another coupon code--$12 for one meal, where I could easily make 4 portions out of $12 at the grocery!</p> <p>Have you ever used a similar service? Would you use it again? </p>
