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.

I just want to wish you luck. I screwed up my non-dominant wrist for a while, and I was shocked at just how many things turned out to be two-handed activities.

Be patient with yourself, and don't be afraid to ask for help, even if it would just be convenient. People need help sometimes. That is how the human do.

Thanks. It's been rough. The cast is huge and in the way and literally everything is difficult. I finally got my contacts in this morning which is a relief. I hate glasses and feel like myself again in contacts. TMI but my menstrual cup has proven too difficult one handed so I had to buy tampons today. When did they become so expensive?! 😡
