HelloFresh

I was offered a  free trial for the first month of Hello Fresh so I decided to join. Glad I did because I have been using it ever since. I live alone and get the 2 person deal for 3 meals which ends up being 6 meals for me which means my entire dinner bill ends up only being $70 for the week which is much cheaper than before when I ate out all the time.

I really enjoy the different recipes and food options. Makes me try new things which I found out I really enjoy (I ate pretty much the same thing week in and out before). The odd time there is a recipe I am not super fond of but it's a learning experience and fun to cook. BTW who knew I could be a cook? I didn't and I am glad I found out because it is a great stress reliever after work.

Food has always been fresh for me and there has only been once when I had a missing ingredient in the box. I called Hello Fresh and they refunded me the week and since I knew about it before hand (as I always review the contents and recipes) I was able to go purchase the noodles at the store and still enjoy the meal.

My family and I am enjoying both the meat and vegetarian dinner options that hello fresh has. It has been great to be eating healthier and not relying on take out so much. I work shift work and my 2 kids play a lot of sports so I am always in a rush to get dinner ready. With hello fresh I know the dinner selection will always be good and I can have it ready usually in just over 30 minutes so I don't worry what they send me. 

It's nice to have a home cook meal with recipes and instructions that are really simple to follow. My grocery shopping time has been cut in half as I just worry about breakfast and lunches for the most part now.

My boyfriend and I have never eaten better. I was never much of a cook before because I could never decide what to prepare. Thanks to Hello Fresh they send me 3 new recipes each week along with the ingredients needed.  The recipes are always tasty and healthy and the portions are perfect for our needs. We have probably lost 10 pounds between us thanks to us not eating out so often and eating better.

The step by step instructions are very easy to follow with most meals taking half an hour to prepare.

I was given Hello Fresh as a gift a few months ago and I have enjoyed it ever since. My girlfriend and I get a box every week with 3 dinners. Our first month after the gift card ran out we got $40 off which was an added bonus. Meals take us usually 45 minutes to prepare and not the 30 Hello Fresh seems to suggest but that is okay as both of us prep and cook the meals as it is a time we enjoy together.

The ingredients have always been fresh and I like the balance Hello Fresh has of meat and vegetables. So far all the recipes have been good and not to hard to make for our level of cooking skill which I say is average. The box always arrives on time which our doorman receives and puts aside for us. All in all it is a good service and those interested in trying out new recipes every week will enjoy it.

The quality of the ingredients is the most important part of these type of services and Hello Fresh meets my standards. I've always received fresh veggies and meats and have enjoyed almost all of the recipes. I work from home as a graphic artist so my boxes don't have a chance to be outside long. I do go out for work to meet with clients occasionally so I always schedule what day my delivery comes and plan accordingly. 

After my first box which was discounted I knew I'd be charged for subsequent boxes unless I paused a week or if I called to cancel the service completely. This is pretty standard for meal services after researching the others available in my area.

As I said above I've loved most of my meals, the ones I did not was really just personal preference and not because the recipe was not good since my husband seemed to like them. 

Currently our kitchen is being renovated which is suppose to last about a month so we have our Hello Fresh account on hold. As soon as the kitchen is done I plan to continue with Hello Fresh. We are currently eating out a lot because of the renos and have already gained some weight. I am already missing the healthy meals and the variety we have been cooking at home. I've dealt with Hello Freshes customer service once to pause the account and am pleased with their friendly manner and understanding.
