HelloFresh DIY Boxmeals

[neil999]

its a great idea, but way too expensive...just get the recipes and buy the stuff!

I just don't like the concept. I enjoy going to the supermarket, browsing the aisles, getting some nice grub in that I can turn into nice meals whenever I want. And I enjoy the cooking aspect very much too. I suppose if you're the opposite to me, then it's a good idea, and I am pretty certain they'll make millions off it.

What's your speciality dish, mate?

 

[larrygobfiend]

I like the idea of it all being portioned out. I mostly cook from scratch and always end up with waste.

I like going to the supermarket, but I also like the time-saving and convenience of shopping online too. We do both. the little one actually loves being carried around face-forward around the the supermarket.. it's one of her favourite things!

that said though, one of the problems we have is that we always end up throwing away quite a lot of fresh produce away that we don't quite get around to eating. I'm sure that I'd be horrified if I actually saw how much ££ this comes to each month, and it would probably more than offset the extra cost of something like HelloFresh - what is it, £5/meal/person? that actually sounds quite good.

On the deal im on it averages out to about £4.50 a meal. Thats only 50p more than what it costs me to buy a sandwich, crisps and a drink from M&S.

I too end up with a lot of waste when i buy from Supermarkets btw.

I'll cook you whatever you want darling. Just as long as it contains loads of garlic.

It's all about the garlic!

Post reported for blatant harrassment of two homosexual forum members.

Wait a minute, that's my post you quoted.

Ok, I've pulled the trigger and signed up. Can't wait, actually. The meals look delicious.. although I'm aware there's probably a bit of the McDonalds' hamburger photo vs reality thing going on

Just eat mate

If all else fails, the local Sally Army soup kitchen will welcome you with open arms Frank.

Anything with butters

Err you still have to cook the food mate... it just saves you going shopping.

Great for Yanks and people with long commutes. You get home and your food has arrived, alr already organized to cook. That’s nice.

Best thing is to spend the money on fresh ingredients, cook and freeze, buy cooking lessons if necessary.

OK, just completed our first week of eating in with HelloFresh, and TBH I've been delighted with the experience so far. Can't recommend it highly enough.
