Benefits of Hiring a Meal Delivery Service

If you think hiring a meal delivery service is too hoity-toity, you may be surprised to discover that more people than ever before are opting to "outsource" for at least some of their meals. Here are 5 reasons to use a meal delivery service.

1. Yummease can save you money.

Yes, it seems counterintuitive, but you can actually save money when you hire Yummease. Think about how much money you spend each week picking up take-out, going out to dinner, and buying groceries at the store. Chances are, you and your spouse spend more than the cost of having a meal delivery service than you realize. Most couples spend an average of $700 a month on groceries and eating out. Seems high? Go ahead and save up all your receipts for October and let us know.

2. Yummease can save you time.

When you add up the time it takes to get a healthy meal on the table, a meal delivery service like Yummease is actually quite affordable and saves you a lot of time.

Meal planning/Creation of Grocery Shopping List - 1 hour

Grocery Shopping and Driving Time - 3 hours (because you usually go to the store more than once a week)

Meal Preparation for 1 week (3 meals a day x 7 days x 30 mins per meal) = 11 hours minimum

Total for week: 15 hours

That is 60 hours for the month spent in ensuring that you have healthy meals on the table. We can think of better things that you can be doing instead - Yoga, Going to the Movies, Vegging out, Drinks with Friends, etc.

3. Yummease can reunite the family.

Well, Yummease doesn’t reunite the family, but gathering together for a family meal goes far in helping family members stay connected. With careers, errands, extracurricular activities, and time spent with friends, it’s all too easy to spend for family members to scatter to the four winds. With our Turkey Dinner with all the Trimmings delivered to your door, you can spend what little time you have together enjoying good food and catching up with one another.

4. Yummease brings nutrition to the table.

Antioxidants are naturally occurring nutrients that help prevent heart disease, cancer, and the effects of aging. Little is actually known about how antioxidants work or what makes them function best. Scientists believe that some antioxidants are more potent than others, and their potency can be affected by cooking or digestion. For example, the antioxidants in blueberries lose their potency when cooked, while the antioxidants in tomatoes become more potent when cooked.

So use this list to find antioxidant-rich foods, but for the best nutritional outcome, eat them in a wide variety.
