Food box subscription

[chase_acow]

So I got a half off coupon for EveryPlates and have been pleased so far. Normally it's $10 for two portions of a meal and the minimum is 3 meals a week. I originally scoffed and thought the portions looked small, but it was 1)easy to cook, 2)very tasty, and 3)actually filling. I've done sweet'n'tangy cherry meatballs and crispy ranch porkchops so far.

They claim I have 3 boxes I can give away for free if I give them emails. If you'd like to take a chance, leave your preferred contact here or DM it to me.

There's also an option to get $20 off your first box and then I get $20 off my next box.

I've done several subscription boxes years ago, and as far as I can tell, this is the cheapest. Everything they sent looks like good quality and it was packaged well in a smallish box.

Huh, interesting.
I've never done a service like this because I don't have a lot of money to spend, but this doesn't sound dreadful.

I wouldn't mind trying, if you have a free box left?

Thank you for offering!

most of them aren't a good value vs what you could do for yourself in the grocery store. I just get tired of making the same things over and over again and also since it's just me I'd get stuck eating the same thing six times.

I put your email in! I hope it really is easy and free of strings. Just remember to cancel it in time if you have to put your credit info in! : )

I got the email. thanks. I'll check it out! :D

[tabaqui]

Ooh, the meals looked pretty tasty and interesting, an at two servings each, that's six meals. :D Nice! Thank you again!

No prob! It's like, I always want to try to make new meals, but I'm scared to waste money and that I don't know how to do anything but very basic things. Both my parents made very traditional repeating meal options, so I didn't learn a lot as a kid. These work really well for me. They're tastier, but not too weird for my under developed sense of food adventure.

[tabaqui]

Heee.
I like trying new things and such but frankly - i loathe cooking, and will happily eat a piece of dead cow for dinner and leave it at that. Five minutes in the pan, i'm done. Which isn't great for my overall nutrition but holy gods....i hate cooking (and most frozen meals/canned stuff make me sick, honestly - Crohn's + no gall bladder means some food just does not work *at all*).

If you still have an unclaimed box, do you think you might send it to my bff sweptawaybayou? I know she'd love it, and she could use some free meals, too.

It's okay if you don't want to, I just thought I'd ask. :D

[chase_acow]

Yes of course! I was friends with them on LJ. Just give me an email and warn them it's coming! : )

[tabaqui]

Whoooo!
She's still on LJ, just not terribly active. She's got a lot of money stress in her life right now, so this will be a nice little treat.

It's sweptawaybayou2 at gmail.
Thank you so very much!
:D

Heya! I got my box today - it looks really awesome, thank you so much!
Sweptawaybayou got hers, too, but unfortunately, it's missing all the meat! She said she and her daughter took everything out and went through it twice and - no meat.

Do you think they'll make it good? She said she was going to contact them.

I know this isn't your problem, and I hope i'm not overstepping the line, here, but. If they won't or can't fix it, do you still have your third invitation? Perhaps she could use that if they won't fix it. Please say 'no' or tell me off if i'm getting too greedy, here.

Thank you again, I really appreciate you giving me my invite. Can't wait to fix one of the meals. :D

[chase_acow]

I'm of the opinion that it never hurts to ask for anything you want just in case the answer is yes. Unfortunately I don't have any more boxes to give out now. Though I can't imagine they wouldn't fix it if she complains to someone. I mean their whole goal is to get y'all hooked so you order more.

I did the pepercorn gravy porkchop last night and it was so good. : )

I was going to cook tonight, but ended up going with my daughter to the vet - the kitty they just adopted a couple weeks ago is having an issue with her eye. She was kinda freaked and didn't want to go to the vet alone. So once i got home from that (took forever), i just took a shower and ate some toast and got in bed, heh.

Cooking will happen tomorrow!

No worries, bb - I think she chatted with someone online, and they wanted to credit her account? Which of course she doesn't have (she cancelled when she got the box). So we shall see.

I appreciate that you passed along your free meals - it's pretty awesome. :D
