I love the concept of Misfits Market. The idea of rescuing less-than-perfect products and selling them at a discount is truly a noble venture. I've had both good and bad experiences, so overall have to settle on this being "Ok".

Sometimes there are amazing deals, you can get quality products for far less than in store, online, etc. I've found some great brands and products, I definitely don't regret trying Misfits Market!

Their prices fluctuate quite a bit. Sometimes things were listed as a "Deal" but were far less expensive locally. It's just something to pay attention to if you're shopping for bargains. 

Produce quality is hit or miss. Some produce lasted a really long time, some was rotten within a day or even arrived that way. Customer Service, however, was great in correcting any issues like this. Very disappointing to meal plan and have some staple ingredients be unusable, though. 

Overall, I think the company's mission is wonderful and will continue to buy boxes occasionally. 

I joined when they were brand new. They have improved a lot and have more options

amazing produce, food and costumer service. 

I loved this service because it forced me to look up some new recipes with the new produce items I was getting! Always nice to have to motivation to try new things, and the quality of the produce was great, nothing seemed off or spoiled. 

I used this service prior to the pandemic. While it is great for those who are not able to access an affordable grocery store near by, it did get pricey and their policy no longer work for my lifestyle. 

The delivery in Iowa was amazing! Super timely and everything was always perfect. Delivery in California is awful BUT customer service is amazing. I had an order go missing (quickly refunded), nearly every order is late by 10 hours to a day or two, and all of the orders I've had so far, something is either broken, rotten, or squished (also quickly refunded). 

I've been a subscriber for nearly 2 years, minus a few months when I moved to California before Misfits was available. I find the selection amazing and I'm able to try new brands each time. I loved that you can now mix produce with their pantry items and over the last few months, they've added wine, cheese, and meat to their deliveries!! I do most of my shopping through Misfits now and love it. 

I originally gave 4 stars but I have to reduce my rating after randomly being charged for a box that I had scheduled as skipped. 

I have bought my groceries mainly from Misfits Market for over a year. I appreciate the company's goal of finding better uses for what would otherwise be food waste. It's so easy to "set and forget" the weekly boxes so that even when I am having a completely hectic week and have no executive function to go to a grocery store, a Misfits box will still show up. It doesn't require a membership to use and each week can be canceled as needed. The prices vary--sometimes more expensive, sometimes cheaper.  I've only had a handful of issues with the groceries' quality, and each time customer service has been swift at refunding me, without any extra hoops to go through.  

More recipe ideas with what you receive! Like a weekly meal plan with the produce as the leading ingredients.

I really love this concept and the produce that arrived was really fun to unbox and inspect. I did a terrible job of actually following through on cooking with it all. There is some user participation definitely required in not letting it go to waste.

Every time I get green beans they're slimy. Only green beans. 

The first time I tried misfits, their model was still "you get what you get", and I found the selection to be not to my personal taste so I cancelled. However, recently I was checking them out and realized they have switched to more of a market, where I can pick out just what my household wants. They also have tons of staples and extras now that make the service a super convenient supplement to my regular grocery shopping. If anything comes in less than desirable condition, the refund process is super easy. 

The artichoke leaves were black. I am trying to salvage the mushrooms asparagus and beans. I don't recommend ordering from them. 

One thing I think is kind of quirky about this brand is that often the produce isn't actually ugly or bad-looking but the sizes are all over the place. For example, I got the largest mandarin oranges of my life and then the smallest romaine lettuce I've ever seen. It's tasty but just be aware that you might be surprised by the sizes. 

I love the quality of the produce and they've recently added other options like pantry goods and meat and fish. The user flow is intuitive and I like the email reminders to build my box. Overall this has largely replaced my trips to Whole Foods. 

I wish they had a few more ready packaged meals available so when I don't want to cook I can grab a quick pre-made salad.

I'm obsessed with misfits market! (I might be bias because my roommate works for them.) But their mission for eliminating food waste and making groceries more accessible is wildly authentic. They actually care about their end goal and they will not support something that goes against their mission.

It's super easy to add items to your box and each month they are expanding to more and more categories. I'm able to get everything I need for a weeks worth of food and I have yet to pay over $75 for a week worth of groceries.

It's a fun way to explore new snacks and foods at a fraction of the price.

The packaging is terrible, lots of things thrown into a big box. I have not had a single order where some things are not damaged, which is totally contrary to their mission. 

A great idea, half baked. The produce is uneven, but the packaged goods can be a great value. 

The only issue I’ve had is that both boxes have come insulated even though no refrigerated items were boxed, which is a lot of unnecessary waste.

Misfits Market is awesome! Always good deals and promotions and helps reduce food waste. I have gotten multiple boxes for super cheap and still high quality, usable goods.

The food was good but not worth the money, in my opinion. Trader joes and the supermarket is cheaper for me in NYC. 

Sometimes it can feel a bit random how much someone is going to get from a box. It might make sense to include veggies or fruit not by amount (like 2 eggplants) but by serving size (enough for 2, enough for 4, etc), to make sure one can meal plan around the box.

The freshness of the produce in a Misfits box is impressive and feels much better than our local Whole Foods. The sizes can really be random, however, and with smaller quantities, you aren't always getting enough eggplant, tomato etc. for one meal for two. 

Such a fun way to mix more veggies into my diet! 

I love the concept but I wound up cancelling after three orders.  The produce didn't last very long and some of it went bad before I could use it (which was only a day or two after I ordered it).  I didn't care for the variety of what was offered and surprisingly, I was able to get some of this produce cheaper in my local grocery store.  It's too bad because I really wanted to like it.
