Maybe it's just me, but I'm a reasonably good cook and have no problem grocery shopping, so those services seem way overpriced to me. The internet is full of recipes that are free. Unless you can't/don't want to Google recipes or buy your own groceries and you're willing to pay 2-3x the cost for the convenience of someone else doing it for you, I'd avoid them.

I'd love to live where you do! Sounds like you can buy anything you want whenever you want. That's just not the reality for everyone. We have Hello Fresh because we can't get a lot of the produce in local stores or if we can, it costs more than getting it through the subscription service.

Also, the internet is full of recipes that skip steps or have the wrong amount of ingredients listed or they're by Jaime Oliver and so they're a total waste of time and money and you're left getting takeaway, anyways. Cooking books aren't much better these days because like all mass produced books, they're full of typos and are poorly bound and cost more than twice as much as books did twenty years ago.

America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Illustrated and Good Eats/Alton Brwn are the answer for recipies that don't suck and the background info to understand why. Their cookbooks are in libraries. The more you cook, the easier it is to spot a bad recipie and the easier it gets to just invent things.

I keep forgetting how American FS is now.
