As someone who has considered subscribing to Blue Apron, this was a useful description/critique of the service. I had wondered about portion size, and I always figured there wouldn't be much in the way of leftovers. It's helpful to learn about their offerings for families. We often get take out, which we then dilute with fresh vegetables, and it sounds like it's easy to do that with Blue Apron's food also.

I still need to look at their pricing and subscription options, but this seems like it might actually work for my family.

I tried it last week, I don't think its enough food for two people for two meals.

I'm trying Purple Carrot this week, so far the box was delayed in arriving and my emails to customer service about that didn't get replied to yet. But it eventually did show up and it looks pretty good, although I notice once of the recipes calls for a food processor which I don't have and have no intention of buying.

Which subscription did you purchase? That is, how many people is it supposed to feed?
2 people, 2 meals.

I'd say the pasta was probably enough for 1.5 people. The empanadas were more filling.
