You don't save that much, especially after the cheap trial. If you know what you're doing, a run to the grocery store will actually be much cheaper. I think it's more for people who want a home-cooked meal but don't want to go shopping or find a recipe.

We were a great example: some family members gave us a Green Chef subscription while we were both home on parental leave and it was a great way to eat better while having very little free time / energy.

I don't believe savings is the primary goal.

to me main benefits are:

> control of food prep

> control of ingredients

> having ultra fresh cooked meal

> less packaging waste ?
