> I just throw them away and buy my own regular potatoes to supplement.

Please don't do this if you can avoid it. I used to do the same (not with Blue Apron admittedly, but food in general) until I volunteered at our local food shelter one day and saw how they survived on donations some of which were surprisingly small. Often those small donations would be turned into snacks that people could take with them for sustenance throughout the night. They would never turn down healthy, nutritious food that wasn't spoiled. I realize it can be a PITA and there may not be a shelter near you, but if it's possible please consider it as an alternative to throwing good food away especially something that stores pretty well.

I've worked with the homeless and I grew up on WIC and welfare and relied on the kindness of strangers so I understand the plight, but I'm not driving 15 miles into the city and paying for parking to donate one sweet potato every couple of weeks. They'd be better served with a $5 check.

Which is it?
