    In this video The Deal Guy is updating his popular video from 2017. He is going to now review not only HelloFresh and Blue Apron food subscription box but also Home Chef and Everyplate. Not only did the Deal Guy do a hello fresh review but he also did a hellofresh unboxing, home chef unboxing and everyplate unboxing. The same with blueapron, he did a blue apron review and a blue apron unboxing. So the question is are they worth it? more specifically is blue apron worth it as a healthy meal subscription.
    Well if you look at this Hello Fresh vs Blue Apron video you'll see the Hellofresh first impression is great and the Blue Apron first impression isn't as good. While Hello Fresh is the most popular Home Chef and Everyplate are great alternatives! So when it comes to Blue Apron vs Hello Fresh then you'll have to watch and find out.

    I would love ethnic food meal kits like African, Japanese, Polish, Brazilian dishes, etc.. Now that would be great to have the little packets of sauces and spices from these places without buying the whole jar or seeking out the special vegetable etc..

    Hello Fresh and Home Chef are easily the best. The recipes are easier to follow and both have tons of coupon codes available, especially if you do a trial and put your account on hold. They'll send additional codes every few weeks. We just flipflop back and forth on which ever company has the best discounts. We generally get 2 meals per week and really enjoy just about everything.

    We tried Hello Fresh for four weeks, 12 meals, and were generally very pleased there was only one meal that was unacceptable, and oddly enough, one that should have been easy for them to get right. If there is any protein that is an American staple, it is ground beef. Yet the meat HF sent us for one of their gourmet burgers was so tough and stringy, it could easily have been a ground up rodeo saddle. Everything else we had would rate between very good and excellent.

    Very well done, Deal Guy. First of all, I'm thankful that you weren't partial to any one or two or three service companies. Nobody likes a sell out. Secondly, I don't know how you were able to sustain your high speed but it was killer, Nobody wants to waste time. You kept the digression brief, succinct , and helpful. However I do have what I believe is a sensible suggestion. Your good video was over 11 minutes of pretty vital info on the subject. So I appreciate the rapid but i'm thinking that it would be super helpful to provide a synopsis at the end. Maybe a simple one_page chart with a column of companies on the left and price

    For just about a full year, I have been SOOO happy with Blue Apron. Never had a meal we hated (one or two we'd choose not to have again). IT IS NOT CHEAP. It is a replacement for eating out. We can skip weeks easily if we need/want; each week I can choose our menu from about 10 options, altho husband prefers to be surprised. I find the meals are ample and we frequently have enough leftovers for lunch for one the following day. I find the meals mostly delicious and all of them easy to prepare. The meal delivery services resolve the "what's for dinner" "I don't know, what do you want" "I don't care, whatever you want" dilemma, and help you avoid supermarkets. We have also translated some of the recipes to dinner parties and family gatherings. And during the current crazy situation, it is absolutely a relief not to have to worry about running to the grocer.

Three of the meals we never even made (from Blue Apron) because they just didn’t look appealing to us.

    Hello Fresh owns Every Plate. That's right. They are from the same company. Every Plate is the economic option to Hello Fresh. Every Plate has less menu options, the ingredients are not individually packaged like big brother Hello Fresh, so you have to sort them yourself, and common ingredients like butter, salt and pepper are not included.

    Matt, what about Green Chef? How do they compare to Sun Basket? I know that they cater to many of those same markets of specialty food group eaters. Also, Dinnerly is also by the Marley brand. I would be very interested to see what a Dinnerly vs a Martha by Marley Spoon meal look like up close.
    I have personally had both Home Chef and Dinnerly. With Home Chef there are more ounces of protein per meal, each day's meals are sent in separate bags, everything that has already been peeled or portioned is sealed, and there are printed menus. With Dinnerly there were a few fewer ounces per dinner, all of the week's ingredients were in the bag together, and you looked on-line at the recipes to match everything up. Dinnerly, however, is half the price of Hello Fresh.
