I spent $200 on a fancy meal kit service for a month and barely used it

The boxes kept coming even when I was too tired to cook, and I ended up throwing most of it out. Anyone have a better idea for quick dinners that doesn't waste so much food?

My buddy Mark signed up for one of those fancy plans last winter. He was so excited for the first box with truffle oil and fancy pasta. By week three, he had three unopened boxes stacked by his door, the lettuce turning to soup. He told me it felt like a subscription to feel bad about himself, kind of like your freezer situation, victorb74. He switched to just keeping stuff for big salads and frozen pizzas for bad nights. Way less pressure.

Yeah, those boxes become such a guilt trip. My freezer is full of sad, unused meal kit ingredients.

Ugh, tell me about it. My freezer looks the same, @victorb74. It's like a graveyard for good intentions.
