[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can tell you mine has switched from Every Plate to Hello Fresh and back. She shares with a roommate and they decide which meals or if they want to skip. EveryPlate has a good student discount but has a minimum of three meals a week. Hello Fresh has the most consistency of fresh ingredients.

At home we and she have tried them all from Home Chef to Marley Spoon (the worst with missing ingredients).  Blue Apron offered no repeats in a year and forced us to try meals we would never try. However the included ingredients are hard to find to replicate. She loves she has new things in her menu making and she saves the recipe cards to replicate:

We got into them because we were eating the same 12 meals or so every month. This has added more variety to our diet. The packaging is all recyclable and when the ingredients come portioned there is far less waste.

If I were you, I would keep signing up with a new email after the trial periods are over as those beat the student discount. My dd pays for it herself using her own credit card funded as part of her student loans. She is responsible for skipping weeks she won’t be at school or changing the address to be sent to our home for long breaks.

None of us like the prepared meals like Dinnerly and Freshly. They were always too bland and the cooking times were never right.

Meal kits for us and our DD are tons of fun and cooking is a stress relief. After her freshman year she did an accounting of what she spent going out and it shocked her. For her this is a great way to sample new meals and takes away from the stress of college. It is one less thing she has to think about a few days a week. She usually only gets meals twice a week but sometimes three.

I hope this helps. Please ignore those who wish to impose their will on you. You do what works for your family and child.[/quote]
