Dinnerly is a fast and (mostly) tasty way to feed your family

Dinnerly box full of food ingredients

If you’ve ever wished there was a fast, easy, way to get dinner on the table for the family (or just yourself), we may have found the meal kit delivery service for you.

Because there are so many options out there in this market, we’ve decided to review them for you at Grok Nation. First we started with Blue Apron, then Green Chef, and now we’re putting Dinnerly to the test.

When I first heard about Dinnerly (most likely from an ad on Facebook), I was intrigued by the concept: It touts itself as “the most affordable meal delivery service”—which as someone who pays NYC prices for groceries, I appreciate—and every recipe has six ingredients or less and can be made in 30 minutes or less, which as someone who is a lazy chef, I really appreciate.

So when I kicked off these meal kit reviews, I knew Dinnerly was one I wanted to try. When I went to sign up, I chose between a two- or four-person box. Each box has three recipes and is $5 per portion, plus $8.99 shipping. So for my two-person box, I would have paid $38.99. (Dinnerly provided me a box for an honest review.) I then selected what day I wanted Dinnerly delivered. It’s important to note that Dinnerly delivery options vary by area, so you should double check availability.

The day before my box was set to arrive, I received an email reminding me that it was coming—and telling me what I would need from my own kitchen: one egg, oil, sugar, salt and pepper. I’m glad I paid attention to this part of the email because I was out of sugar and eggs.
