Why does it cost more for three meals . From scratch d. C. . It told us that boxed are Premium Products with locally sourced ingredients and small staff spends a lot of time chopping ingredients to save customers time. Blue apron told us it does not prepare peep any ingredients to ensure they arrive at peak freshness. And it doesnt include olive oil and salt and pepper because it assumes customers have them.
