Guys, guys... whoa for a sec. I can address a few concerns that've been expressed.
- It's not frozen food, as has been suggested. It's chilled, and the meats are shipped between two ice packs (massive versions of medical ice compresses they have that froze gel inside that thaws slower than water). Chilled, not currently frozen not previously frozen.
- $14.16 per meal/plate. That's equiv to low to mid price entree w/ sides at franchise type full service restaurant and NOT including drinks (restaurant money makers, drinks) OR tip. You do tip, right? As far as paying that or less at restaurants, are you stiffing your servers? Where we live, a franchise restaurant dinner for two with a couple ice teas or maybe beers, with tip, we're dropping $50 minimum if we order lower to mid entrees. Compare that to $28.32 for the two mail order entrees with side, and our own water, beer, wine, or tea. Roughly half the expense. Same or better quality meal, plus these ones are keto low carb.
- They are not low sodium, I agree on that. The sauces are organic as well so any sodium source is regular salt not preservatives or artificial flavor enhancers (msg etc). I would call ours, the way we cook them going easy on the sea salt-- mid sodium, not high not low.
- Just buy all the same ingredients at the grocery and find your own recipe online or with the Yumly app, or Fit Men Cook app, etc. Been there done that. Price works out very similar in the long run. This way, we don't have to think. We get to be lazy about it in the sense that all we do is log in and select the next week's meals to be sent, from menu of a variety of recipes/entrees, all guaranteed to be Certified Organic from the sauces to the meats and veg. Published calorie, carb content per menu item (I think, thought I saw where they have that online for each).
- Stouffer's or can be had for a few bucks on sale. Yep. Get what you pay for. That food's not good for you though, and it tastes like ... frozen microwave meals made in a food factory, and did the FDA (if US based) get around to inspecting that place recently? Hey, I lived by myself for six yrs until last November, I get it. I hit some Stouffer's and Swanson microwave meals during that time, oh yeah.
- Green Chef was including a free meals coupon to give to your friends and if they signed up you got a referral discount on your next order. Haven't seen those coupons lately, will double check and if they start that up again I'll post up about it 1st come 1st serve, might have been an online code you can punch in, can't remember.
