….HelloFresh and more are so popular. "With promises of quick, convenient and delicious home-cooked food, meal kits have become increasingly popular over the past few years, with more and more contenders on the scene. These services aren't just about the food — they also provide wannabe chefs a sense of pride in actually putting a meal together, even if everything is already pre-portioned. Now, grocery stores are also offering boxed meal kits, completely axing the delivery-service model. And while all these kits are trendy and delicious, are they actually a good deal?…" Main page link Amicalement Armand |

The downside is all the packaging. |

I think we just need to do a better job teaching people how to cook. The other day the Elmo family had a zucchini from the garden and needed to eat supper. So I looked in the pantry, grabbed and onion, can of tomato sauce and paste, back out into the garden and grabbed a jalapeño, added a can of garbanzos and coconut milk and BOOM we had a curry. We don't need meal kits, we need well stocked pantries. |

I guess it depends on the definition of good value. If people like the conveninece and enjoy the cooking & eating experience then they probably do believe it's good value. It's like some people buy 25mm figures for £1.00 GBP per figure, and some people buy 25mm figures for £10.00 GBP per figure. If both are happy with their purchases then it's good value in both cases. |

Looks like they have their pluses and minuses. Just looking at the cost of the food itself doesn't really give the true picture. |
