I've been thinking of ordering from one of those what I like to call bachelor chow services such as Huel or JimmyJoy. I'm disabled and often don't have the energy to cook for myself but I really want to order out less. Would this be a good investment? They are around 2-3 dollars a meal, but shipping kills that.

is there something you can grab at the grocery store/with your regular grocery order like "Ensure" instead? the "services" you gotta watch out for rate hikes

regardless even if shipping raises the cost if you're doing better than ordering out ($10+ a meal probably?) then a small win is still a win.

Plus, if you're planning on replacing most or all your meals with huel you're likely to get free shipping. They give you free shipping for something like over 70 dollars a month, which is about one shake bag and two hot food bags.

I swear I'm not shilling for Huel. If anything the company and it's clientele seems to be kind of techbro-coded, and that shit makes me very suspicious of it.
