I have had two deliveries of home chef. For 50.00 I get two meals for 2 people and two smoothies, or a small order of fruit. This is by far the cheapest home delivery service out there, you can skip a week if you choose too. I normally spend about 40.00 for a nice friday night meal of me and my fiance' Alex so I figured this woudl be worth it and save me an hour at the grocery store. I'll have to add the 40.00 I spend normally includes a 10 dollar bottle of wine..but this includes two smoothies so I figure that washes out.
The food is ok.. the portions are normal..but small compared to what I normally cook and doesn't include the salad I almost always throw in. While a salad is good, smaller portions are probably better and keep me personally from over eating on friday night and passing out at 9:30, so this is also ok with me. There are less courses, I'm from the south and my fiance' likes to say I cook a smorgasbord. Really I just like a nice meat and three. These meals are more a main course and that's it or a main and one side. The meals are easy enough to make and most take about 20 min to make. Honestly I've been so busy lately that this has actually saved my life. Its definitely better than the left over Easter candy, convenient store hot dogs and chips I've been eating during the week.
Which brings me to the fact that the food is healthy. I can choose other options but I selected the low calories option and all of the meals I get are under 500 calories!! They also have veterinarian, vegan and gluten free options. (I think gluten free I don't remember on that one, but I think they do)The food comes in insulated box packed in ice so your food should stay cold until it gets to you. Be sure and have some oils and such on and as that is not included in the kits and you will need some on occasion. Everything else will come in the kit including spices, however if you are like me you might want to jazz some of the items up a tad. Their version of spicy..um..isn't.
Do I like it? Its nice to save time. If I had the grocery delivery service available in my area..or even pick-up at the Wal-Mart closest to me...I'd probably just do that. However since I don't have that option and shipt is over priced, I'll probably keep the subscription with occasional opt outs when I can't seem to find something I'd like to eat that week. there are many choices available though and most weeks I can probably find something that I'd like. At fifty a week with shipping included I'm actually getting more meals than I did in the store, however that's also due to less food. The smoothies however are a great deal, healthy and taste awesome.
If you want to try it here is my link..I get a free meal if you click on it.. so if your interested..do me a favor and click it..I think you get a free 30 bucks off too.
