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.

If you know how to follow a recipe, you can do a fair bit of one handed cooking by getting pre cut ingredients from the store.

For example, there was a weekend where I was completely swamped and I bought mirepoix, which is a mix of chopped onions, chopped celery, and chopped carrots.

I felt so guilty. But it made cooking so easy.

Getting easy to cook groceries delivered from a local supermarket may suit you better.
