Meal Delivery Services Comparison

February 26, 2022February 23, 2022 Cassie WallenderLeave a comment

Someone on FreshChalk asked about meal delivery services, and I wrote up a long enough answer that I thought I’d re-post it here. For context, my partner and I both work a lot, and I’ve been struggling with a back injury. So about 3xs a week we use a meal delivery service.
