Purfoods Meals?

[amybeth]

At the beginning of the school year, I am usually swamped with work. This year, I am finishing up a graduate course and planning a wedding at the same time! I was thinking about ordering some gluten-free meals that would require little of my time.

I came across Purfoods through a google search. Has anyone used them? Is it worth the money? (if you don't mind spending money on prepared foods?)

Is there another company that offers the same thing?

Any input?! I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks.

I recently ordered from them and was expecting (as advertised) that the meals would not contain preservatives; however, they do - and lots of them! When I called the company, they put me through to a supervisor who informed me that THEY do not add the preservatives, the suppliers do. Therefore, they do not falsely advertise. When I asked for a refund, they would only credit me for the food scheduled to ship for 10 days or more from the time of my call - per their refund policy. Arthur also stated that he felt I was just trying to get out of the meal plan. I am quite disappointed by their lack of customer service and the attitude with which I was addressed.

I have found frozen meals by Comfy Cuisine which do use healthy - much more natural ingredients and I got them from Gluten Free Mall.

Hope this helps.

I'm sorry that I don't have much to share, besides that I once looked at PurFoods and Grandma Ferndons when I was quite sick for the convenience factor (had no energy to cook, plus I didn't really know HOW to cook!) Unfortunately, PurFoods just proved to be too expensive for this poor grad student. A wonderful concept, though, and their meals sound delicious.

mamaw - I've only tried the eggplant parm. by Comfy Cuisine, but I thought it was very good. I thought you and I had the same taste in foods What did you try by them?

I tried the Comfy Cuisine ravioli and thought it was really good.
