I think I'm about done with these deliver-food-to-home services

[missdiane]

I decided to give Door to Door Organics a go since they were offering a $10 off thing for your first order. I received it today and turned right around and cancelled my account so I don't get any more.

I wasn't all that concerned with the "organic"ness of the food since conventional is just fine but I had hoped they'd have a focus on quality. On the "bitty box" order that I placed, my single tiny jalapeno was wrinkly, the roma tomatoes weren't near the ice pack yet were rather frigid so they'd been refrigerated (a SIN!), the cilantro was floppy, the fresh cut mango looks rather underripe and they put my bag of snapea crisps under one of the ice packs and a can of grape leaves so it was somewhat smushed.

I've never heard of that one, but I would think those kinds of things are expensive, anyhow. I have a friend who uses that Blue Apron one. I know it's expensive, too, but she and her husband just rave about it and are always posting their food on Facebook. I'm a vegetarian, and I know how to cook, so I really don't need or want something like that. I would think things like that would be good for busy executives who don't have servants but still want to have a fresher meal. But it sounds like yours was a joke!

Door to Door Organics is mostly just for supplies rather than full recipes. I've used and tried the Peapod grocery delivery which was useful for when my back was acting up and during crap weather. It's a godsend for my friend who has six kids and a sister in law in the house because they always meet the threshold for free delivery.

For the meal services, I've tried Home Chef and HelloFresh recently since they give you first time promo codes. I know how to cook but it was fun to try out some of the "kits" and I discovered some new recipes that I'll make again. But it's not something I'd do in the long term. The only two other services I'd ponder experimenting with is Terra's Kitchen and Martha Stewart's Marley Spoon
