Checking out other plans

Although I am really enjoying The Fresh Diet because they make fresh meals for me every day saving me a lot of time, I don't enjoy the price I am paying for it.  I'm on a promo with TFD for $1013 for one month on their premium choice package.  After that, it's going to be much more expensive if I continue with this package.  Even if I continue with the lowest "Chef's Choice" package, it's going to cost $1,084.69.  Plans are here.

So I am looking into other, more affordable options.  My medical offers discounts on a variety of different healthy plans.  Here are some of the plans that are offered and what I have learned about them.

I may go with Jenny Craig or back on Nutrisystem since this is similar to The Fresh Diet at nearly half the price.  I just wish I could get fresher options.
