jack D and coke Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Anybody used these? Have to say I’ve absolutely loved the food, variety is great as well. Anyway ive got 3 free boxes to give away worth £30 and some £20 off a box if anybody wants one. I have to give them away by tonight. Just need an email address👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjcc Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 The missus got a free trial from a pal. They were lovely and simple. Didn’t continue though after she saw the calorie count didn’t match up with the diet. One meal was 1000 calories per portion. I’m sure there’s lower calorie options than the ones she chose so I’d thoroughly recommend them to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesie27 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Got a free box before and agree the food is brilliant and the steps pretty simple to follow. Some of the recipes are the quite easy to source and follow the steps on your own. Some less so with quite specific flavourings. Tried to order another box the other week (another freebie). Got an email to say it had been delivered. And was on our porch. We live in a flat and it wasnt anywhere to be seen. DPD sent a picture of a house which luckily we recognised as being nearby. The picture was meant to be proof of where it was left but the box wasnt in the photo. I found the house, no box anywhere and seemingly nobody in the house either. Weirdly when we chased it up they said it had been signed for by some random surname. If this was the case then why would the delivery driver have taken a photo of the house? I left it in the hands of the GF but she hasn't chased DPD further. Hello fresh credited us with another box though and have subsequently given us 3 free boxes to dish out to other people. They aren't exactly easy to get quick deliveries that fit your specific lifestyle so if we had paid for that and were relying on it being your dinner for the week you would be raging.

Walrus Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 My wife and I use it a lot. We both have pretty hectic jobs, I travel a lot. We find the convenience of it great, not having to go to shops for dinner stuff after work. Foods always tasty. If we have ever had any problem Hellofresh have also given us extra credit etc...

Peebo Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Used it for a wee while. Thought the meals were always very nice. Sometimes very simple, sometimes a bit of a faff. Had issues with some of the ingredients going off (too short use by dates) and I think that’s what ultimately killed it for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Munro Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 We use it occasionally. The highlight for us is new ideas, rather than having the same 10 dishes on a loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyNic Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I'll take one if it's still going JD&C? Funnily enough me and the Mrs. were just talking about trying Hello Fresh out.

I’ve still got 3 to send but for some reason it won’t let me send them atm. I’ll try again in a bit. As for the food it’s really good. Loads of variety and not bad value after the free box at £30 going forward. Its 3 meals for 2 people but you can alter it up to 4 people. The fact it’s delivered and every little ingredient is in the box is perfect for a lazy git like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gershwin Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Had one of their patronising salesman trying to get us on to this a few months ago. Unfortunately for HelloFresh they seem to employ utter bellends to sell their stuff and won't be getting any business off me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Much prefer getting a monthly hamper (usually 2 or 3 hampers depending on the deals on that week) from muscle food to fill the freezer then use the variety of meat throughout the month, quality is much higher than supermarket meats and cheaper. Combining that with a cupboard full of herbs and spices means that a quick google of recipes on my way home just means I only really need to pick up veggies on the way home.

Sooperstar Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Been using this the last few weeks seeing as food is about as exciting as life gets just now. Really enjoying it, had a good number of tasty, easy to cook meals that I wouldn't have had before. Skipping the coming week though as I didn't fancy the options.

You do have to put in card details though whether it’s a free box or not. You can delete straight away though I think. It’s easy to skip weeks too so can just pick and choose when you want the stuff.

Made a tremendous teriyaki beef dish tonight. £20 quid off a box!? How much are they normally? a grand? I made the mistake of signing up for graze, free 1st box, free 5th box, I thought it would be great for healthy snacking instead of eating shite but ended up cancelling after the 2nd box cos it was totally not value for money.

Greedy Jambo Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Right, i'm interested. I'm on the website, i've gone for the rapid meals, I take it that means they're the quickest to make? 50% discount for the next 4 deliveries, so £14.99 for 3 meals per week for 4 weeks. Am i doing this right? Edited May 7, 2020 by Space Pirate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedy Jambo Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Free next day delivery but the earliest you can get it is the 19th 🤔 I'll have starved to death by then. Edited May 7, 2020 by Space Pirate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
