I keep getting promo codes for meal delivery kits

I still have a bunch of codes that are supposed to be for "new subscribers" but they don't seem to care as long as you use a different e-mail address. Now two other companies I've used before sent me some codes for returning customers.

In the past year, there have probably been more weeks where I've used some meal delivery kit than weeks where I haven't. I've yet to pay full price for one except for like, 2 weeks where I forgot to cancel one that was on a promo code.

I am 100% convinced that this is exactly their business model and they don't actually care that much about people abusing promo codes like this.

i've never used a meal delivery kit. i cook for the week and those usually aren't enough

The ones I get come with 3 meals, 2 servings each. I think most of them offer family plans as well if u need more servings.

I just hate grocery shopping.

It varies.

So the kits I've used have been from EveryPlate, Hello Fresh, Home Chef, and Blue Apron. EveryPlate is the cheapest but has less to choose from each week and I generally struggle to find 3 meals that I really actually want from them. But again it's the cheapest and they're also the only one that I've actually gotten free boxes from rather than just discounted ones. Looking at their website, they charge $4.99/serving plus $8.99 shipping. So a family plan box (which would have 3 meals of 4 servings each) would be like $68. Then you can basically find ways to abuse promo codes as much as you want by making new accounts. The promo codes are usually something like $20 off your first 3 boxes and sometimes free shipping. So it would be like $40-50 but again that's for 12 total servings.

I think Hello Fresh and Home Chef are both $7.99/serving and Blue Apron is like $8.99. Some of them charge for shipping, some don't. The "Standard" plan for all of them is 3 recipes per week with either 2 or 4 servings each, but some let you get more or less meals each week. You just have to look at their websites to find out.

Generally it's more expensive than grocery shopping it's just good if you're like me and get too lazy to shop sometimes and then get fast food or pizza when you're too lazy to shop.
