A good elder care agency, like Home Instead, could help go shopping. But nowadays the task can be accomplished without ever leaving home.
Here are a few meal delivery services that make the menu question simple, nearly eliminate the need to go shopping, and help save money by only providing the food you need — rather than buying a whole bag of something when you only need one.
The first is Blue Apron. Blue Apron was the first nationally known food and recipe delivery service, and it is still one the most widely used. Like most of these, Blue Apron provides a regular shipment of fresh ingredients, and a clear, easy-to-follow set of instructions. Blue Apron’s options are eclectic and interesting, and the meals run about $9 each. But with leftovers available for lunch the next day, that amount spreads out.
Another option is Every Plate. Every Plate is similar to Blue Apron, but, while the food is still delicious and healthy, the options aren’t quite as exotic and eclectic. This means they can keep their costs down to about $5 per plate (plus leftovers, again).
For a more California flavor, check out Fresh n’ Lean. Fresh n’ Lean has more options that are paleo, vegan, keto, and low-carb conscious. And at just under $8 per meal this one may just be the option for you.
