When I first tried RealEats in 2018, I knew there was something special about it. Many years later, it continues to impress.
I’m not sure why it took me so long to write a review, but I’ll stop boring you with a long-winded intro. Instead, I’ll jump right in sharing my experience with RealEats over the years. Since that first meal, I’ve probably averaged an order a month from RealEats.
So, let’s get started!
Over the years, I’ve used various wired, wireless, and true wireless headphones for running. It’s safe to say the Jabra Elite Active 75t are, by far, the best running headphones I’ve owned.
A handful of things really stand out about them:
Now let’s dive into specific areas, including things I don’t like about them, who they’re not for, and a budget-friendlier alternative.
Having been a regular customer of meal delivery services since 2016, I’m always on the look out for new players—mainly for added variety. It’s nice being able to rotate between a few different food delivery services each month so I’m not getting tired of the same meals every week.
So when I started seeing ads for Factor, I was curious how they’d stack up against my current favorite, Freshly.
(True story … Freshly was the very first company I ever bought anything from because of an Instagram ad.)
Since I was in the market for a new meal delivery service in my regular rotation, I thought it’d be fun to see how Factor would stack up against Freshly, and if it would be good enough to order from regularly.
To decide, I ordered six meals from Freshly one week and then six meals from Factor the next. I did this for a month which means I tried twelve meals from each company.
Based on my experience with those meals, I compared them in these six categories:
Let’s take a look at who wins each round and ultimately takes the overall crown.
There’s a lot of pressure being the World’s Best Parent (or uncle in my case).
Now that my niece (1) and nephew (3) live nearby, I don’t want my play time with them always being mindless activities just meant to take up time. While they’re growing up so fast, I want to be a catalyst for their learning and development.
As a parent, I’m sure you relate and probably feel that pressure more than I do.
So it was good timing when I discovered a company called KiwiCo.
Here’s what their website says.
KiwiCo was created to celebrate kids’ natural creativity and curiosity, while helping parents who want to bring enriching experiences to their children.
They do this by sending you a “crate” every month with a STEAM-inspired (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) project. They currently have seven lines:
You pick the line that best fits your kid, and they promise to deliver hands-on fun and learning every month.
I was intrigued by the idea of a self-contained, educational activity-in-a-box, but I had some questions.
To answer those questions, I admittedly went a little buck wild.
?? GoReadyMade
Unfortunately, I got an email from GoReadyMade on March 11, 2019 that said, “We’re sorry to break the news, but GoReadyMade is no longer taking orders. We’re revisiting our service and will get back in the near future.”
Bummer! But if you’re looking for a similar service, I highly recommend Freshly.
Over the last couple years, I’ve stayed alive primarily because of prepared meal delivery services. Ones that send pre-cooked meals and require zero cooking skills.
Going from hungry to eating in a few minutes and then only having to wash a fork afterward is a literal game changer.
Up until this point, my budget only allowed for six meals every other week. But recently, I added a little more room in the budget and was ready to bump that up to every week.
That single decision may have just increased my life expectancy by a decade.
In an effort not to burn myself out on a single food delivery service, I wanted to add some others to the rotation. I believe using a different company each week will keep my taste buds fresh and keep me from getting tired of any one company.
After doing some research, GoReadyMade was the first one I wanted to try. After six weeks and 36 meals, what’s the verdict—will GoReadyMade make it into my regular rotation?
