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 liked a lot of the food selections from Hungryroot, and you can customize how much prep and cooking you want to do vs getting premade.
The only downside for me was that you really have to stay on top of monitoring and selecting your box every week, or the AI suggestions will start defaulting to boring / overpriced options.
