Serious question, has anyone else lost money on those 'budget' meal kits?

I signed up for one last month that promised meals for $5 a serving, but after the shipping fee and the hidden 'small order' charge, my first box cost me $68 for three dinners. I canceled right away but they still charged me for the next week before it processed. How do you actually find a meal plan that saves cash instead of costing more?

Which company was it, so others can avoid it?

Actually, @blair248, naming them could help their SEO.

I had the exact same thing happen with EveryPlate last year. The advertised price is just for the food, and all the extra fees nearly doubled my total. I found I save more just planning simple meals from the grocery store flyer.
