I've tried a LOT of food services and this, by far, is the absolute best. I haven't been disappointed at all and look forward to lunch/dinner (I eat very early). The amount of money spent is basically one or 2 bags of groceries where you get absolutely nothing now days. I'm single so it works out great. I get 4 meals and that is just right for me. It's so much better than Factor.

After a year with Factor, because of repetitive delivery issues, we switched over to Cook Unity and after a month, I wish we would have made the switch sooner.

This is great for elderly and disabled which i am. 4 or 5 meals a week for 2 people seems to work out to about $450 to $500 if you add extras and desserts. Still a good deal, we have spent $600 to $700/ month on groceries. And then all the work in the kitchen! We have cooked over 50 years, and we would just like to heat and eat. Still going to the store but spending a lot less on fewer items. Most economical when you order 5 or more meals per person. Really, any less, and why are we bothering? Im in this for the rest of my life!

Thanks for an honest review. I just ordered a Factor box, haven't gotten it yet. But reviews seemed oddly similar, almost scripted. So I stumbled upon your video, and even though it wasn't about Factor, specifically, I learned a lot. And now I have at least 3 options. Hopefully I can juggle between them, and catch the sale prices.

Thanks. I actually did Factor for a while. It's not bad, honestly. I've recently canceled everything to reduce costs, but what I'll say in Factor's favor over Cook Unity is I felt that their vegatables had a bit more variety. Cook Unity seems to use more standard stuff or starchy veg. kzitem.info/news/bejne/mIqA3KCokneLm6Q

I used Cook Unity for about 8 months in 2023 in Midwest region. I was very happy with the quality and selection of meals. I had an occasional issue with a container arriving opened but customer service was quick to credit my account when contacted. I was getting 12 meals per week and took a break because of redundancy of the menu over time. You mentioned the sodium is not on that packaging, but I do remember seeing the numbers on the website when ordering. It was interesting to see your analysis on actual weight - definitely a service I am considering going back to.

@@bigpopppapump You don't have to get 12 meals per week, that is just the plan I chose. There were times that I froze meals and I tried to pick what meals to freeze by how well I thought the ingredients would handle being frozen. I also ate those meals that I thought wouldn't freeze well or stay fresh long first. Each meal has a 'best by' date on the packaging and on delivery day I would organize the meals in order by date. I chose a Sunday delivery and would eat the meals Sunday thru Friday. I never had a meal go bad and almost always ate the meal on or before the 'best by' date.

Yes, it's not cheap. My use for these is that they are quick meals that are way healthier than fast food or traditional frozen dinners. It's not much more expensive than drive through these days (in my area at least), and you get actual vegetables and food that isn't all deep fried. Thus, it's mostly to keep me from making unhealthy choices on food whenever I'm hungry and in a hurry. But you're definitely not going to save money compared to cooking for yourself.

@@TechDregscookunity seems to be focused around lazy people. If you really did your research their prices are insane. You compare it to McDonald’s and Taco Bell then yes.

Lazy or people who are busier. That's how all convenience items work. You could also say that Chipotle is for lazy people who don't want to cook their own food. And using salsa from a jar is for lazy people who don't want to make their own. And using store bought tomatoes is for lazy people who don't want to grow their own tomatoes. It's all trade offs.

I think you're right about the market share thing. I wonder if they're able to hemorrhage money for long enough to gain considerable market share like amazon does with competitors - especially in a space where people can very easily switch subscriptions to another company if they don't like the raised prices later on

They currently have 60% off your first order and 20% off the next 3 so I’m giving it a try. I also was concerned about the calorie and macros numbers but they seem to advertise more about convenience than health so I’ll cut back where I can with breakfast and snacks/adding more veggies (I hear the veggie portions aren’t really sufficient). Everyone I’ve seen though says they taste good, just concerned with having a delivery window I can’t adjust to make sure someone is home to bring it inside since they don’t freeze the food. I guess we’ll see

Would love an update on how future orders from Cook Unity went. If the price drastically increased, if they portions were consistently under the listed weight, etc. Also if you consider changing, trifecta is another highly praised meal delivery that I don't think you've mentioned trying before.

I tried Cook Unity about a year and a half ago. The meals were unique and nicely creative. But, my problem arose, when I realized the portions weren’t enough to be filling. That almost alone is why I quit buying from Cook Unity. At that time dealing with styrofoam packaging and dry ice got to be too much work. After about a couple months of using Cook Unity, the meals were less appetizing in amount and taste appeal. The meals looked delicious in the video though. But, with my past experience, I’m not ready to try Cook Unity again right now.
