I am overjoyed to stop having to buy groceries and go in to sticker shock every time. Tovala, hands down, has saved us so much money it’s crazy. The last order I made for groceries was 2 or 3 weeks ago, and it was just for milk, oatmeal, and bags of salad. Whoop whoop! The 6 month trial is complete, and I had arranged for 4 different households - and it worked beautifully in each, but for very different reasons. Thought I might share! I’m a former chef who now has a very complicated relationship with food. I’m in deep mourning, as I can’t really eat anymore and I can’t cook, so I haven’t known how to love my family in a way that feels right. But I found this. I splurged and made 4 accounts for Christmas presents and didn’t buy a single other gift for anyone. I covered all 6 meals for each, which was a lot but it got the ball rolling I was nervous as each of them are frankly.. busier or lazier than the next. 😂 So, for me, I absolutely love this service, and we’ve tried all the others. The oven is the secret, and the recipes are worth it. I really did want to let you know we all love it… far surpassed my highest hopes, and it was a great Christmas present for 4 different people. I no longer give stupid gifts. I would rather the money go to buy people I love peace of mind, or time, or both preferably. I’ll say something that may sound awkward but should somehow be communicated … each of the accounts I set up were for people who have enormous barriers to eating.. for example, I’m on a feeding tube but I can nibble on some of your soft things, and have loved it more than I can express. The other two orders I made were for men who are on the autism spectrum… and if they even walk in to the kitchen they get overwhelmed and won’t eat. You service has been a huge hit with them especially. Being able to eat from the tray container was a huge deal… no dishes. I bought plastic utensils and suddenly their dishes are non existent. They no longer fear walking in to the kitchen. They can reach for a meal, scan it, and walk away and if they get distracted, the oven pings their phone. Faster than take out, and healthier. Fantastic. The other one was for a single dad, and he was just eating crap fast food constantly This helped him lose some weight and stop spending money on awful take out for him and his kids. Even if he was busy, they were able to easily scan the code and get dinner going when they got home and enjoyed that process So… your service is crazy versatile for lots of different food reasons people may have. I didn’t even go in to all the ways your weekly menus are really good at adding new things while keeping some favorites there, and alll the extra attention to detail. Now that it’s just me, and they’ll all take over their own accounts, my grocery bill jut went down to less than $100 a week total, between Tovala and Aldi. Amazing. And most of that money is spent on high quality, amazing Tovala restaurant meals! Thank you!
