About a year ago, my mom sent me a coupon code for savings towards my first order of Hello Fresh!
I decided to give it a try, and we LIKED it! The meals were conveniently packaged together with really simple instructions. We enjoyed the three meals we picked. I’ve continued to order about once a month since our first box. Hello Fresh makes it easy to cook meals from home that my family will eat and ask for again!
To save some money, I order the meals for two people, then buy some of the same ingredients at the store and to triple the recipe.
Here are the PROS and CONS.
PROS:
- 90% of the meals are excellent
- Easy to follow recipes that your kids can help make.
- I’ve found new foods (and vegetables) that my kids LOVE!
- Convenient! All the ingredients you need for dinner in one container.
- Saves money because I COOK instead of pick up dinner.
- Healthier than fast food.
- Nice variety of meals to choose from.
- Great customer service.
- Simple recipes/instructions that your 10 year old can follow to cook dinner for the family!
- They send an email at the end of the week and ask you to complete a short survey giving feedback about each meal you ordered. If you complete the quick survey, your name is entered into a drawing for free meals.
CONS:
- A little pricey – about $10 per person.
- Subscription service – You will automatically get meals and get charged if you don’t get online and “Skip” the weekly delivery. I get online about once a month to look at all of the meals and decide when I want to order and when I want to skip.
- You still have to cook. Doesn’t come pre-made.
- 10% of the meals are just ‘okay.’
- About 1 out of 10 vegetables is not super fresh.
