Spent $38 on meal kit that went straight to the trash
Last month I tried one of those meal delivery boxes because a coupon made it look like a steal. The produce was already limp, the chicken smelled off, and the portions were tiny for what I paid. I could have gotten 3 solid dinners from my local Aldi for that same $38. Has anyone else been burned by these promo deals, or do some actually work out for you?
Man, the thing nobody talks about with these boxes is the cold chain. That chicken probably sat in a warehouse or on a truck way longer than it should have, and once it gets warm even a little, it's done. The coupon is basically bait to get you in the door, and they know a chunk of people will just eat the loss instead of fighting for a refund. That's the whole business plan in a nutshell, they count on us being too busy to call and complain. Your Aldi run was the smarter move by a mile.
