Has anyone done either/both? Have any preferences or draw backs? I cant access hellofresh.com menu from my work computer for some reason, but next weeks blue apron isnt that appealing to me so curious about other services!

Can you school me on Blue Apron?  I've seen ads for it, and I've been totally intrigued, but if you have real life experience with it, do you mind sharing?  How does it work?  Do you have to do the whole week?  Do you like the food?  TIA!

Blue Apron is a weekly delivery subscription...so they send you all of the ingredients for the 3 meals on the menu (they have a meat/fish menu and a vegetarian menu).  All ingredients are portioned out just for what you need and meals are meant to be fairly quick, I think like 30 minutes. Its a very cool concept, especially if getting to the grocery store one week is going to be tough for you, you tend to not use many fresh ingredients in full or if you are just looking for some new recipe ideas.
