fuggnificent Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 signed up for this meal program called blue apron. they send all the ingredients fruits and veggies and you have to cook everything from scratch. the kid loves it but its expensive. $73/week
katt_goddess Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Red alert, no pun necessarily intended, but I've heard 'Blue Apron' referred to as 'Red Toilet Paper' . Maybe they just managed to get something that their system couldn't handle or they were on the cusp of having a stomach virus anyway or things weren't cooked to the proper specifications, but there were some intense bathroom issues from some people I know on a couple of occasions. And no, it wasn't me.
stilgar Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Don't cook your daughter. Her meat will probably taste awful since you fill her with crap.

André Toulon Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 It's not new....Screw Attack has been promoting that shit for years....since 2013 at least.....And they are about to go belly up.
Ginguy Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Blue Apron is no good. Seriously, $73 dollars a week can buy quite a bit of good quality fresh food at a grocery store.

I make a lot of jokes about fast food. That a lot of other people have made about the same fast food. I have ulcers and tumors and know what will make me sick. I also have bad food days where said ulcers and tumors make food difficult to keep in. These are all knowns. If I'm craving a Whopper and I eat a Whopper, including the lettuce, I know what I'm getting into. It is so not new, it's just gaining traction in a world where everyone wants to have stuff shipped to them. It's nothing more than a food-themed subscription box and they've been around for years. For the record, it was a few of my old contacts at WS. These are people who will eat bugs on a dare without issues and Blue Apron blew their backends.

SlappyKincaid Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 You could just buy the ingredients yourself and follow recipes for less money, and potentially make better tasting meals on top of it. Teaching your kid how to cook is a good bonding experience, plus its giving them good life skills.
lupin_bebop Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Yeah. They are a wasted subscription service. They only give you enough for a single meal. They don't even reheat well.

KreiaDidNothingWrong Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 You know what's really fun? Turning simple meals into fun, complex projects with the magic of herbs and spices. It's also a lot cheaper. 1

Hell, I've noticed that, at least around here, the local grocery stores are getting into the 'box' fad by putting together Blue Apron-like boxes in the meat department. The boxes have all the stuff you need for the meal in question, cost about $12, and are pretty much guaranteed fresh because they are put together right at the store and only sit on the shelves for however long the sell by date would allow. I debated on trying a beef teriyaki stirfry but decided to stick with soup for now.
