She cancelled any future deliveries and we moved on. We talked about it and I reiterated how it seemed like a bad deal financially to me (my dad and I had joked about this when I was home). They still hadn’t eaten the egg dish for one reason - there was no meat in it! I’m not sure why she even ordered it. She said that the recipes took more time than Blue Apron had estimated and more time than what she’d normally spend because they were quite complicated.
My dad is more of a meat and potatoes guy and Blue Apron seems to specialize in fancier fare. Two Meals MadeĪfter I left my mom did make two of the meals and said they were “ok”. At $60, it was an entirely different story. The portions seemed way too small.īut at $20 it seemed like an “ok” value. She also got three recipes telling how to make these dishes.Īfter we unpacked everything my first thought was, “Is this it?” The amount of food seemed like something my wife and I would eat in a meal and a half or two meals - certainly not three meals. It was nicely wrapped, nothing was broken, and all the ingredients appeared fresh. She had ordered three meals - one with steak, one with chicken, one with eggs. The next day, the package arrived and mom and I unwrapped it together.
Regular price is $59.94 for six (or $9.99 each). Upon hearing the details I was immediately skeptical (especially regarding the price), but I decided to wait it out and see what happened.īTW, my mom had paid $20 for three meals for two people (six meals total) as part of an introductory offer. I stayed with my parents and while there my mom informed me that she had just ordered a package of three meals from Blue Apron. In late November I went back to my hometown to attend my Aunt’s funeral. Summary: This post provides a Blue Apron cost analysis and recommends a cost-effective alternative.
