Maybe the company should rebrand as “YellowFresh,” or maybe “HelloFlush?”

    That is literally the point, you chose a recipe they send you the exact ingredients you need, you cook it. Tbh not even a bad idea, less wasteful, easy meal planning, less trips to the grocery store. If it were cheaper i would be using it.

      It would be a great idea to just be inside a grocery store… like a section of just pre portioned meal kits… priced by cost of the actual ingredients found in the store…

        My local store does that with online shopping. You just add to the cart one of their recipes, then they add those ingredients to your shopping cart and send you a link to the recipe. Only a small range of recipes, though.

        Harris farms in Sydney if anyone is interested.

        They could even intentionally select sets of recipes with lots of the same ingredients to give people options without taking up a lot of space, while also rotating them every so often for variety.

            I was expanding upon the parent comment’s suggestion that grocery stores could facilitate ingredient purchasing for predetermined recipes; a cooler/shelf combo placed near the front of a store for instance.
