My Hello Fresh box has arrived and first impressions are really good. There is a very well insulated bag complete with ice packs for the chilled foods and then the ingredients for each meal are in separate bags. I will do a meal review each morning for the next five days and let you know what I think of them. This isn't a sponsored post (but more than happy to do a sponsored one provided you expect a completely honest review). I found a voucher online which gives me 50% off the first box and then 35% off the next three. This box of five meals for two has cost me £20 and at first glance it looks very good value for money. The next three boxes are going to cost me £28.99 which I still think is very reasonable. Please don't tell me that I could buy the ingredients far cheaper. I have no need of jars and bottles of spices and chutneys that might never get used again. Hello Fresh have provided everything I need to cook each meal so there is no waste. It felt like Christmas opening each packet to see what was inside. I can cancel at any point if I don't want to receive any more boxes but intend to try it for the full month so long as the ingredients are as nice and fresh as this box full..

Tea tonight is going to be Prawn and Chorizo spaghetti. I thought it best to use the prawns up straight away as I am not keen on keeping seafood for too long. I'll let you know what Tony and I think tomorrow morning
I've ummed and ahed several times about giving this a go - or the Gousto box which seems quite similar. I think I will, at some point, and in the meanwhile I'm looking forward to reading about your experiences.

If you are comfortable giving me your email address I can send it to Hello Fresh and you will get a free box. I think you would need to sign up to it but you could try it for the week and then cancel. I don't get anything for sending them your details.
DeleteMy daughter does this one and she is so please with it. enjoy.

I'm looking forward to trying all the different meals.
DeleteI do think they are a good idea & definitely means you don't have to buy ingredients to use only once, but I do have to be careful with a few odd food allergies, so we eat very plain, but hopefully healthy. When there are only two to be fed, it's possibly a handy option & I've been thinking of looking into it as we have the same company over here. Thanks for posting about it. Take care & hugs.
ReplyDeleteI think for higher income families it might be a good option and could save a small fortune if you aren't constantly popping to the supermarket.
DeleteSuch a great idea. I wish I could do that :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's all beautifully fresh too.
DeleteLooking forward to hearing what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteI will look forward to your review. I think if there were only the two of us and we were on the same page with what we like I'd think about giving it a try!
