Trim your takeout budget and opt for Freshly
Let’s be real… cooking for ourselves can be a lot of work. If we’re being honest, after months of lockdown in 2020, the last thing we wanna do is cook for ourselves. But often when we’re not in the mood to cook, it’s easy to fall into the habit of ordering takeout– which isn’t always great for your health or your wallet. So we were super excited to learn about Freshly – a meal delivery service that ships fresh, delicious, and healthy meals right to your doorstep that you can easily heat and eat!
And when we tell you that these recipes are LEGIT delicious… we mean it! At around ~$10 per meal, it’s really reasonable and it keeps from letting leftovers go bad in the fridge. Not to mention… no dishes to clean! (Aka, more time for wedding DIY projects or spending time with your fiancé.)
