That's been sort of my feeling when I've tried it.
Three fancy-ish meals during a typical week tends to seem like a bit much. I'm also cooking for one at least some of the time. On the one hand this usually gives me leftovers. On the other hand, I don't have the portion control I'd have if I bought the ingredients in the store and not all their recipes lend themselves well to leftovers.
On the other hand, I look at some of the services that more explicitly try to simplify. Those that do more of the pre-prep make sense to me but I also see recipes that make me go: "Umm, I could grab the three ingredients for that in 5 minutes at the store."
All that said, I'll probably give these things a try again when I have some periods at home. I don't actually have a good grocery delivery option where I live so it's easier to justify these services on that basis given that they can cut out a visit to the store.
