It's expensive, of course, but that's me being a tightwad, and expense is a relative thing. For instance, 2 meals for 2 people in my test scenario came out to $61: $29 for oven-roasted chicken shawarma and $32 for glazed salmon. The photos, of course, look wonderful. I'm pretty sure I could do either of those for less money, but I'm pretty sure either would cost more at a restaurant around here. I may try it; if so, I'll post back here. I hope someone tries it out and reports here!
I can eat for a week for less than the cost of those meals. I've priced out what it costs, and was surprised at how inexpensively meals can be prepared, including the cost for the electricity to cook. True, we eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, not so much meat. We buy from the various farmers markets, TJ's for a variety of items, specialty shops for produce, poultry, and fish, and I purchase mostly organic.
I would never pay for someone to prep my food and ship it to me. Does one really know what they're getting in that manner? And freshness can often take second place to convenience. Feh!
