Can't be bothered to cook / meal prep anymore. Thinking of subscribing to factor, but I don't eat beef and am not a massive turkey guy.

Not sure how the reviews are for Factor, I have heard it's improved a lot recently, but since I will be primarily sticking with chicken for protein, I wanted to ask: is factor's chicken good? or is it dry like most places. If I'm going to keep their chicken meals in the fridge and am expected to eat it over a course of 5-6 days will it be super chewy and dry or can i expect it to be juicy and moist.

Any other meal services if you guys could recommend would be much appreciated too!

Signed up for CookUnity. Chose Thursday deliveries. Made first order. Will arrive in two days.

Since then, received one email - order picked out for me for following Thursday - put it on hold.

Today, a text. An order arriving for me this Sunday. Too late for me to hold it or pause, etc. Who needs that much food?

Of course, cant cancel subscription until after first delivery, for some reason. Will cancel with relief. Seems like a scam. Poor UI as well. What a disappointment.

Hi all, I am looking to try a ready meal service to attempt to curb my restaurant delivery habit. For those who have done the math - what would you consider the cost per serving of the ready meal services you've tried vs restaurant food? I know individual meal sizes and restaurant costs vary, but I'm just trying to get a general idea as to whether or not it's worth it - thanks.

I’ve only tried factor and tempo before (from a friend) and I preferred the tempo as well as my friend, but I hear that cookunity is the best?

I’m just looking for good proportions, quality and good taste. Calories and proteins etc don’t matter to me.

Prices for both CookUnity and Tempo are similar, has anyone both brands that can give me a comparison or review? What would you pick

And Cook Unity wins hands down. It's not even close. Factor wasn't bad, but tasted basically like just a step up from a frozen TV dinner. Cook Unity tastes like leftovers I cooked the day before. The portions are generous and the favors are much more intentional instead of being all muddled together. Delivery was fast as well.

Hopefully they send discounts often because I can see myself filling my freezer with these when I get burned out cooking at home.

My 80 year old uncle is recently widowed and my aunt did allllll of the cooking during their 60 years together. We all pitch in and make him food throughout the week, but wondering if there is a meal plan that he could have on hand to make easily himself once in a while? Very, very slim to no prep needed.

Cookunity's taxes and fees have increased almost three times compared to my previous orders. I don't know what's going on. This is ridiculous. You can't see the description of the taxes and fees.

I'm new to ready meals. I have never tried any of them, unless it was some microwave frozen ones back in the day. Anyways, I'm looking for recommendations. I'm looking for something for lunches to take to work, and I do have access to store cold meals, and for any that need reheating. I do not have any diet restrictions. What I'm looking for is something that's satisfying and on the healthier side. I have a very active job, so being hungry 2 hours later is annoying. I'm not picky (I hate peas and bleu cheese, that's about it). I just didn't want to go off ordering something that might be gross or not very balanced. Also, price point isn't a huge deal for me. Thanks in advance!

They said my first delivery is coming tomorrow (when I ordered for the first time last week), and will be delivered every Sunday. That's the day it automatically gave me which is great since I'm at work during the week, but I have a few questions.

What carrier do they use? I live in Ohio, if that matters. Just curious on this one.

When I click on my order on their site, there's no tracking available yet even though it's being delivered tomorrow. Is this normal?

If I decide I don't want to keep all of this week's meal in the fridge (like the ones I won't eat until the end of the week), or if I have leftovers, do they freeze ok?

Thanks for any advice!

Oh. And since I posted a few other things about them (asking how they were), I know some people always pop up with bad experiences. I realize not every service is for every person. I'm excited about their meals and delivery tomorrow, so please respect that. Many thanks!

EDIT: Thanks everyone! I got a link around 12:30 and it was delivered about an hour later. Everything looks absolutely amazing, can't wait for dinner tonight!
