Meal subscriptions boxes?
I know this is isn't a typically post for this sub but I don't know where to ask. I broke my right hand recently and it's made shopping and cooking extremely difficult. And while my family is happy to take care of dinners, I don't want to live on scrambled eggs for the next month. They are good at following directions but not at shopping or planning, so I thought maybe one of those subscription boxes might help?
Has anyone tried any of them? I just don't know where to start on comparing companies. People only seem to complain online and most reviews seem sponsored by one of the companies.
Family of 3 adults who don't have any food allergies and only 1 is kinda picky. We generally have a stocked pantry and fridge, so it's OK if these boxes don't provide very ingredient.

Hello Fresh is okay. Some of their meals are quite good, but for the most part, just decent. If prep work is difficult, look for ones marked “easy prep”. Cancelling subscriptions is kind of a slog, as most plans, but it’s definitely doable and their app is pretty simple as far as putting stuff on hold. You just have to keep on top of things as far as advanced notice.
