Swapped to a meal kit service instead of grocery shopping

I was dead set against meal kits for years. Thought they were a waste of money compared to buying ingredients myself. But I kept throwing out half my produce every week, probably $40 a month in spoiled food. Tried HelloFresh for two weeks to see, and my grocery bill dropped from $80 a week to $55 because I wasn't overbuying. Plus I stopped eating out three times a week to save the hassle. Anyone else find meal kits cheaper in the long run?

yeah but are you actually cooking all the meals or are you still hitting up takeout on nights you don't feel like making the kit? cause thats where i always get stuck

Think you're overcomplicating it @the_jade, just batch cook the kits on Sunday and freeze portions for lazy nights.
