Meal Service

Hey mamas! Struggling over here to find the time to do it all, even with partner support. Has anyone done a meal delivery service? I've only heard of Hello Fresh but I know there are others. Thoughts? Experiences? Worth the price? Looking for any way to make our lives easier!

Blue Apron is legitimately the best decision I ever made aside from like having my actual kids. It’s so much easier than trying to come up with meals every night of the week, eliminates so much stress and has my whole family including a 4 year old eating and trying so many things we never would. We’ve used it for about 8 years now and I could never go back. We did briefly try Hello Fresh and preferred Blue Apron - the portions are larger, the food especially the meat was much fresher and a higher quality and we just liked it better overall.

As someone mentioned, factor meals are good. I do them for my work lunches when I’m in a pinch for the week. I think it’s worth the convenience. I buy two weeks at a time and freeze them. Microwave as needed.

I have been a Gousto subscriber since 2022 and love it. I love that I don’t need to plan meals or shopping lists. The food just turns up every Sunday and we cook it.

You can also use ai to generate meals with recipes, shopping lists and total spend estimates

If you have a Costco near you, I know they have a lot of meals that are easy to just throw in the oven. Not quite delivery, but you’ll likely have more control over what meals you get and still enjoy the ease of just having to heat it up!

My SO’s best friend got us CookxUnity which was an absolute lifesaver during the newborn phase! We ordered more ourselves & love it. Hoping to get more since SO is overseas for work 🤞🏻 I’ve never meal planned in my life & don’t really want to start because how do you make something at the end of a week for a week & just eat that? Do they not go bad after a few days? It’s such an odd concept to me!

It does help but I preferred https://www.spatulafoods.com/?source=gads&medium=brand&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21001266363&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1ZjOBhCmARIsADDuFTDaE8WtqQIY7S95I0C87ZNw63z-RpK343OS2FlOjlCR_y0rVq2o_iIaApKjEALw_wcB

We did hello fresh for a bit. Got backed up on leftovers 😅

Avatar

Oh if you do hello fresh, go for the family size so you cook once and have leftovers for the next day

someone mentioned cook unity and I second that. We’ve been on it for like 8 months now and not only does it save time spent in the kitchen, it has also improved my mental health not having to brainstorm what to mix up for lunch or dinner. Ready-made meals stay fresh until best by date .. excellent packaging no need to freeze!

I looked at his phone.

Since I got pregnant, my partner has been very secretive with his phone. Before, he was fine with me looking over his shoulder when he uses his phone but recently when I try to ask him who he was messaging, he would just put his phone away. There is this online friend that he started playing video games with during my pregnancy. They would play until after midnight so sometimes I would ask him if she was really just a friend and he would say im just being a paranoid jealous. I thought maybe I was but the thought of him cheating remained at the back of my mind.

Last night, I was in so much pain, and barely able to move at all. Meanwhile he was just stuck on his phone, said nothing at all, didnt even ask how I was doing.

I woke up around 2 am and he was asleep, his phone was near me and his game was on so his phone was unlocked. For the first time ever, I looked at his phone without him knowing. Looked at messages and i saw him texting his friend with I miss you. He also said 'I like you sorry just have to say it' and the last message being 'i could have woken you up by talking dirty to you' . One thing that irks me with his texts was it always ends with x with her but never with me or anyone else.

I know or I believe he hasnt physically cheated on me but this level of emotional cheating made me realise I was right all along. This is why he hasnt cared about me or my wellbeing since I gave birth, its because he likes this friend.

Partner cheated on me

My partner cheated on and around Christmas time i found out but i was also very early pregnant. Anyway the usual i’ll change behaviour and all was fine. The girl he cheated on me with messaged me today as she couldnt get hold of him and told me theyve been seeing each other for months again. I had a 12 day old baby and a nearly 21 month old daughter. I really dont know what to say or think anymore

Is it a red flag if a man has there notifcations turned off on everything

My boyfriend always says to me “ah the only people I speak to is you and my son” yet has every single notification turned off Fb. WhatsApp. Insta. If no one messaged you why would you have them turned off? To me it’s like he doesn’t want me seeing who messages him.
Then today I discovered he had his relationship status showing to only me and had it hidden from everyone else 🤣

Did I do the right thing??

I just blocked my boyfriend because I caught him out on something. So last week he took down his status of me and him being in a relationship. And I obviously rung and gave off and he changed it and put it back. But then today my friend went onto his Facebook and said his relationship status is still down but on my Facebook it says “in a relationship with …” so he has clearly changed his settings so only me and him can see the relationship status 🤣 I broke up with him and blocked him. I have felt hidden away the last while and tbh this is really snake behaviour
