I’ve been using Imperfect for almost a year and I have absolutely loved them! A couple of highlights I have found through them: -competitive pricing (I live in a desert so almost all fruits and veggies are shipped in!) -they kept ALL of their workers during the peak of the pandemic in my area PLUS hired more delivery drivers -my package is always packed with care - multiple boxes, produce separate from anything like grains, milk, cheese or meats -one time I ordered a whole week of groceries through them because we had company visiting and I was very busy and an item had broken open, and ruined a bit of the produce and they 100% refunded my order no questions asked. The next week I got a nice email and they send along a Lb of cashews as an “I’m sorry” For me waste is so big on large produce farms many don’t see it but if we can save a bit of it that’s awesome! Plus- imperfect foods takes good care of their workers and pays them a really good livable wage! Unlike Walmart who is at minimal bones for pay
I have never heard of this service before! I want to check them out! After working at many orchards and blueberry farms growing up, I saw how much they had to throw away because the stores wouldn't take it. What an awesome way to make use of extras!
That's the big reason I wanted to check them out! They have a lot of info on their website about food waste, too, and how they are addressing that. They even have suggestions for how to recycle and reuse their packaging, and in non-covid times, they had a packing return program.
I've been using Imperfect Foods for about 6 or 7 months. The meat and packaged items are all good quality. The only problem I've ever had was a missing item a couple times but they're always great in correcting the issue in a timely manner.
I really enjoy using them, we have food allergies in our home and being able to pick just what we will use is great. I order every other week and purchase enough to waive the delivery fee.
I LOVE Imperfect foods! I have been using them for about 6 months. I like to get my meat and produce through them. I have a very small grocery store near me that's great for dry/canned/frozen foods but not so much fresh raw foods. And I like to stay away from larger chains because I'm far too tempted to buy shit I don't really need & isn't the healthiest. Imperfect is great because I can get fresh fruits, veggies, and meat, but I can also use my temptation to try new things with convenient meat and dairy alternatives and snacks I generally wouldn't gravitate towards in a large scale grocery store. On top of that their customer service team is fantastic. I had a box delivered that included eggs and during delivery the package must have been dropped because all of the eggs were broken and there was egg on EVERYTHING in the box. They refunded and gave me a discount on my next week for the inconvenience.
Imperfect Foods doesn’t deliver to Florida, but I recently signed up for Misfits Market, which works the same way. I’ve had 2 deliveries so far and have been happy.
I am Team Cilantro ! Love it ! I had never heard of this service before until Miranda at Running on Plants showcased it. The produce in your box actually looks better than what my local Walmart carries in their store ! I think it is awesome that this company is trying to prevent so much food waste. I had a lot of very lean years when I was a single mom of 3 children and I often went without so my kids could eat. To this day I absolutely hate throwing out food. Great video !
Lisa, I'm with you. I've become more and more aware of food waste the past few years. We aren't perfect by any means, and occasionally I have to throw something out that spoiled or just isn't getting eaten and it HURTS me!
I just signed up I will be freezing my produce for my winter soups and I love the soup season with toasted naan breads on the sides I like the prices and our diet requires fresh fruits and veggies as I get older I am sticking to them.
I love this service...and cilantro too. I've been using it for about 6 months now and only one time had an issue...two eggs in a dozen were cracked. Also I think if you order $60 or more the delivery fee goes away and my favorite thing is you don't have to have an order every week. The want to reduce waste...not make more. Also try the "misshapen" chicken breasts...so cheap and if you are using in a receipe where you cut them up...who cares.
@@evflyleaf it was good. Got some fruit that I would not usually try in store and avocados that were very good just small. I will definitely keep using them.
it didn't work for me. I used it for over a year and it way always more expensive than me just buying in store, but it wasn't by a ton and it coming right to my door was really convenient. but, it was almost always late. I couldn't order anything soft because the items were destroyed by the time they got to me. Like, I don't think there was any problem with imperfect foods (besides the fact that I ordered a lot, so they should have used two boxes) the problem was with Fedex. Like, it seemed like they kicked the boxes around. Tracking would show it arriving in the city, but it would be 3-4 days later before i would get it. One box was so kicked around and late that goo was leaking out and I gagged when I opened it. I didn't feel it was fair to me or Imperfect (who kept having to refund me) to keep the service.
Try the Cook's Venture Heirloom Chicken when they have it. It's amazing, pasture-raised. It was 20% off a couple week ago. Not much more expensive than the standard grocery-store fare that I will not purchase. :-)
Thats carrots cracked me up! I call those horse carrots and would give them to my friends with horses. Anxious to hear if the carrots were ok. My experience with large carrots is not so tasty when they got that big in the garden.
I tried “misfits” or something like that, I discontinued it, although it was interesting to get new unknown vegetables, I ended up throwing them away, did not know what to do with them, but if I did, too long to prepare. I think I’m going to try it, will see:) hopefully more organic. Cilantro, yes! Made avocado toast the other day and my husband who stated to me that he doesn’t like cilantro, took a bite and ended up eating my toast. 😂
Thanks for sharing, I've been on the fence about using them. Also on the fence about Butcher box as well, I'm all for making life easier lol. Have a great week
I used Butcher Box for a while. I was pleased with the quality and the convenience, but I found I could get most of the items for comparable prices at my local stores.
I use both. If you price out the meat per pound, it's a good deal if you live in a high cost of living area with no stores like Aldi (me). If you can get good to excellent quality meat for cheaper then it might not work for you. We can't so BB wins. Buying meat once a month has made my life so much easier even if the sticker shock hurts. I buy whole chickens and roasts to make it more cost effective. Their sirloin cap is amazing. Imperfect Foods I get once a week. It's lovely going to the store for little things and saying, "don't need that." My grocery bill has dropped like a rock. IF is cheaper than my grocery store on produce, but not on some things like oat milk. Other pantry staples and snacks are about the same as the store.
Question: How does the shopping feature work with pricing? I see that the website has you pick a flatrate for veg, meats, dariy etc. So is it both..? Flat rate plus rates for items you chose?
This was a fun and informative vid, thanks! 89% of the prices were lower than what I'd pay at Aldi, so I'm def going to check it out. How long did it take from the time you ordered until it arrived?
I think I'm going to throw it in the homemade pico I'm making this week. I'm with you. It's not something I always have, or fret about if I don't have for a recipe.
@@jenmv3483 Days usually. My delivery day is every Tuesday. I review my order between Thursday and Sunday. They give you base items you can delete and add to, plus tell them items to never include. You can also set it up for different schedule like every other week.
I think I heard you say that for those very few potatoes it was 1.25 (I might have heard wrong) but I could go to my local dollar store and get a big bag for $2.
We did imperfect foods previously and the biggest downfall was the packaging. Everything was just thrown in the box and the meat was leaking all over the produce. We had several issues with damaged products, which the company did refund, but I wish they would revamp how they package the products.
That's interesting, Amber! I only got produce this time, so it didn't affect my items much, but I'll interested to see how the dairy or meat products come!
I'm an on/off Imperfect Foods customer, and I 100% agree with you. However, it has gotten better. I haven't received damaged products like previously. They also switched to their own delivery drivers in my area instead of FedEx. That probably solved most of the problems. Now forgetting things and putting other things in you didn't order... they are Imperfect after all.
A good review I still think that my oldies prices can be most of the prices from imperfect foods I wish they were a little bit cheaper than the Aldie price because I would go after that in a heartbeat but some of the items that you listed are still cheaper at Aldie
Yes, my Aldi would be close but one of the reasons I like this service is because they are trying to rescue food that was being thrown away. I’m willing to pay a tiny bit extra to make good use of this food. 😊
@@AW-jl1tj grocers and farmers are people, too, with families and employees to support. Imperfect helps everybody by purchasing food that was going to waste at a discounted cost so suppliers can make ends meet and we can have fresh food delivered to our doorstep. Imperfect ALSO DONATES FOOD to food pantries, AND they offer discounted boxes to people who qualify for SNAP. In addition to giving away nearly 15% of our regular income, my husband and I also donate a percentage of what we make on SMM to local food pantries. Perhaps you should do a little research before you make assumptions about peoples’ motives, even if they are “financially stable.”
Got to tell everyone it's not a straight $30 if you need more packed food meats and desserts service it's $10 per serving. The subtotal charge for me is $82 including shipping fee. For a person who spends over $200 on food every week I'd say that's a good deal.
My minimum order is $55 and shipping is 8.99. I have been considering imperfect foods, I’m a consistent Misfit Markets user but like the idea of adding meats, dairy etc. I like it keeps me out. Of the store which also lowers my oop usually and being busy not having to even go to the grocery is a savings. So if I did a weeks worth of groceries there it could help??? Thinking out loud
How is it delivered? UPS or some other carrier? I live in a secured apartment building so I’m always curious if the delivery people are from a major carrier and will be able to get in!
commenting before i watch to say if you don't have a) extra items or b) missing items, i'll be shocked. i stopped using Imperfect Foods on a weekly basis and being constantly dissapointed just recently and i'm still frustrated
This is great! I did not know you could choose items. I did one box of Misfits and wasn't overly impressed. No packing list and I got veg that I didn't know what they were!!
Patti, I'm with you. That's one thing I like about Imperfect. I signed up for the basic produce box, so they have some items already in it each week, but I can remove them or change them or add more things.
The similar company that does this in my area (produce only), is way overpriced compared to what I can get in my stores, sadly. Your squash was tiny, peppers are cheaper but great buy on the carrot and apples 😀. I love cilantro.
Hi, Yvonne! I researched some other companies and Imperfect was the only one I found that delivers in my state. I'm pretty happy with what I got this time, and we've eaten most of it already! LOL!
@@SeeMindyMom I love the idea. The one I've used in the past that was strictly produce is only available in a few states on the East coast. Speaking of East coast... aren't you out west? You had an early start this morning.
Glad to see more companies popping up doing something to avoid the waste. All the produce I received in the past was all worthy/quality and I was glad to see it not go to waste, I just wish it was not more expensive... I had to think of it like a charitable way to support my local farmers and not see it go to waste.
Is the giant box they send everything in not “waste”? If they want to retain customers they should think about getting orders right. I’m done with them.
Love cilantro! I'm really impressed by how much produce you got. I am a member of a CSA from a local restaurant but my challenge is not having control of what I'm buying. Last week, we got a singular leek. What am I going to do with that? I have to get creative with cooking and meal planning.
My thought too although I never grocery shop at Walmart. I do shop occasionally at Aldi which has good prices but I don't like their produce. The thing that tempts me is that even with a list I can't seem to go into the store and not buy a lot of food that I wasn't planning on. Not having to shop or travel to the store has appeal too. Thinking about it...
I like cilantro but I know people who say it tastes like soap. Apparently on 23 and me they can tell you if you're likely to like or not like it because it's a genetic trait.
No cilantro here. Tastes like soap. And if you didnt know it’s a genetic thing. That is a bit higher for my area for produce anyway. I would pay a dollar for the squash. Great info though. Thanks.

Love cilantro! I'm really impressed by how much produce you got. I am a member of a CSA from a local restaurant but my challenge is not having control of what I'm buying. Last week, we got a singular leek. What am I going to do with that? I have to get creative with cooking and meal planning.
Go to the physical store.
I'm kinda disjointed because that's about how much I pay for those items at the store.
My thought too although I never grocery shop at Walmart. I do shop occasionally at Aldi which has good prices but I don't like their produce. The thing that tempts me is that even with a list I can't seem to go into the store and not buy a lot of food that I wasn't planning on. Not having to shop or travel to the store has appeal too. Thinking about it...
Cilantro is a huge no for me!
Bloody hell food seems super expensive in America
These prices are higher than at the grocery store....am I missing something?
Areas are different prices. She said for her area, the price was competitive.
@@yvonnepalmquist8676 ok got it! Thanks!
avoiding food waste
$28 seems very expensive for what you got.
No
I like cilantro but I know people who say it tastes like soap. Apparently on 23 and me they can tell you if you're likely to like or not like it because it's a genetic trait.
That is so interesting!
Celanto tastes like soap... 🤢
I hate cilantro! Tastes like soap to me. Apparently it's a genetic thing, same as how for some people bright light makes them sneeze 🤷
That's so funny, I've heard other people say the same thing about it tasting like soap!
What about fresh parsley? It smells horrendous to me.
No cilantro here. Tastes like soap. And if you didnt know it’s a genetic thing. That is a bit higher for my area for produce anyway. I would pay a dollar for the squash. Great info though. Thanks.
Several people have mentioned that! Interesting!
