I was going through my Wal-Mart+ subscription plan that I got for free and I saw their offers. One of which was EMeals, that was a 60-day trial. I thought that this was like Blue Apron or other meal delivery services so I thought I’d take a crack at it and hope that it would get me on a path to eat better.
Turns out, it’s just a meal planner. And it’s absurd to me why and how would anyone pay for something when there are countless and countless recipes and meal planners readily available for free. Who’d the fuck would want to pay for a planner? That’s like paying for a calendar app.
I also hate cable, but you mentioned sports as being better on streaming.
I got into NFL this year and if I wanted access to be able to watch all the games I would also be paying an absurd amount of money. There is the NFL Sunday Ticket which is insanely priced, and then games exclusive to Amazon Prime on Thursdays, plus other games scattered throughout the season that are exclusive to a single streaming platform.
Assuming your dad’s 120 a month includes access to all NFL games nationwide (it might not and in that case it’s extra bad), he’s paying basically the same as what it would cost to watch an NFL season. Not to mention NFL has ads even on most streaming services now, so it’s not much better in that regard. This is only NFL though as I have no idea about any other sports streaming.
