Nice try, troll. No chance this is true. Because if it is, you are deliberately raising the biggest douche to ever walk the earth.

A meal kit is cheaper than dinner out with all of the discount codes available. It allows for less waste and is highly sustainable. All operators have varying degrees of food quality, with Marley Spoon being the worst in our experience. It is a great way to supplement weekly meals while learning to cook. Some are more intensive than others. All send you recipe cards so you can replicate. Kids don’t have to suffer through Cup Noodle if they don’t want to.

A lot of bitter condescending people on this thread. If you disagree don't use one and move along.

So you raised your child to have poor time management skills and not be able to cook for himself? Great job mom, I’m sure this will work great when he moves back into your basement after college because he can’t do anything for himself.


LOL... He is not going home this summer.  He is going to a Google internship in Mountain View and he will be eating at Google facilities.  No cooking there either.

It would make sense for one or two people. Less waste, more variety.


That’s what prepping freezer meals are for. Meal kits are definitely not cheaper and you have no idea what quality of food you’re receiving.

None, I taught them how to go shopping and cook for themselves like parents are supposed to do so kids don’t have to rely on overpriced meal kits when they’re in college and trying to save money.

It's hard to believe there is so much nonsense packed into one short post. Wow.

No extra meal plan outside of the college dining hall meal plan.

When living in an apartment it is time to learn to budget and the price of food items (besides all the other stuff).

Hello Fresh was never ... fresh. I had too many deliveries of rotten produce to ever trust it.


05:11 here -- this is what my kid said, too. She compared the "quality" of the produce to what she could get at Walmart.


Yes. I literally received a lemon that was green and fuzzy. Needless to say, I did not trust the chicken that was in the same box. Shame because I really like and continue to use some of the recipes we had before it just too gross.
