Maybe the company should rebrand as “YellowFresh,” or maybe “HelloFlush?”

    Yeah I looked into them for my elderly parents but all you’re essentially getting is a frozen microwave dinner. I can buy those from the store myself for half the price.

        That is literally the point, you chose a recipe they send you the exact ingredients you need, you cook it. Tbh not even a bad idea, less wasteful, easy meal planning, less trips to the grocery store. If it were cheaper i would be using it.

          It would be a great idea to just be inside a grocery store… like a section of just pre portioned meal kits… priced by cost of the actual ingredients found in the store…

            They could even intentionally select sets of recipes with lots of the same ingredients to give people options without taking up a lot of space, while also rotating them every so often for variety.

        So ingredients you have to then put together yourself? Isn’t that just “groceries?”
