The best decision we've ever made
Sunday, August 28, 2005
As a full-time working mom, I am always looking for ways to save time and feed my family, delicious, organic healthy food. I was spending (with the help of my husband) uncountable hours shopping, prepping, cleaning up after and of course cooking expensive food from expensive grocery stores. When we tacked on the cost of all the food we wasted every week, because we were too busy or not inclined to cook, we were basically throwing money out the window.
So we started researching organic, prepared food delivery. Oh, have our lives changed for the better. Every night, after about 15 minutes in the oven, we split 2 incredible meals, cooked to perfection and created by the culinary geniuses at Delicious Planet. The variety of food is staggering and everything is delicious. The menu changes weekly and you can schedule up to 2 deliveries per week -- one on Friday for the weekend and one on Monday for the week.
It costs about as much as eating out at a moderately priced restaurant, which is a JUMBO bargain for us when you factor in how much our time is worth.
We had a couple of customer-service-type items that were dealt with promptly and happily and the food really is outstanding. We have turned a few friends onto this service and everyone is more than pleased. The website is easy to navigate, although it is a touch frustrating to have to go back to the ordering list every time you update your cart.
Even if you don't use them regularly, but you know you are about to have a very busy week, they are an amazing resource for easy, wholesome, prepared food that you would be hard-pressed to improve upon -- even in a restaurant setting.
If there were more than 5 stars available, I would give this service a 6 just for the whole new dimension of added time this service provides.
