A while ago I wrote a blog about meal kit delivery services (read about it here). These are companies that mail you ingredients to make healthy meals. I love this idea because it saves time by not having to go grocery shopping and it delivers fresh produce but just the right amount needed so nothing goes to waste but most of the services are quite expensive. When I heard about a new company, Dinnerly, that claimed to be the cheaper option, I was interested.
Dinnerly offers 3 meals of 2 servings for only $30 plus $8.99 shipping. Most other meal kit services are twice that price. With the shipping factored in, that's only $13 a meal. My husband and I often have leftovers as well, usually enough for one lunch. Granted I can make meals for much cheaper than that, but as I said, not having to buy the groceries or plan saves time and energy which is worth something. Plus you get to try new things that you might not have before.
Why is Dinnerly so much cheaper? They provide digital recipe cards instead of paper and have simple packaging which means less production costs. They also have fewer ingredients per dish which cuts back on cost. They also don't spend a lot of money on huge marketing campaigns.
Another thing that I like about Dinnerly is it is simpler than most other services. With fewer ingredients, the dishes don't take as long to prepare and cook. Most of their meals can be made in 30 minutes or less.
I have been getting the boxes for 3 weeks now and I have really enjoyed most of the meals. They are tasty, simple to make, and cost effective!
