If I forget the mushrooms, I’ll made do without them rather than paying $25 for rush delivery for 5 mushrooms. If you have the money for $10 pasta dishes (which most of those Blue Apron etc. are) you still must make yourself, then that’s your choice. Not mine nor my budget’s.
Those ice packs don’t work when the mailman leaves it out on your porch all day in 100 degree weather. Or it’s left in his truck and melts. I’ve yet to get one sent by a well meaning friend during the holidays that wasn’t already melted and leaking through the package yet the mailman drops it at the doorstep with me watching as he scurries off before having to deal with the problem. Thanks but no thanks, just send a cheap card.
Outside refrigerators should greatly upset the enviro freaks. That’s a second high energy use appliance that’s placed outside in the summer heat so it must run more. First time those low IQ delivery people leave it open and everything is ruined and Walmart will have a huge payout. Multiply that by thousands and that’ll be the end of the service. Can’t wait for the kid next door to hack into the code and steals ice cream.
As for being able to afford it, I'm not ashamed to admit I'm affluent and that it is a trifling expense for me to have the service. I work long hours so it's very convenient for the wife and I to have a quality meal during the workweek at home without having to do much grocery shopping. The other two nights, we go to local restaurants and on weekend, I take over the cooking, usually on the grill or in winter, I make awesome roasts and homemade soups.
Where did you come up with $25 for mushrooms? That sounds crazy.
Just steal the whole fridge.
