I just signed up for Hello Fresh and I LOVE it! I’m finally cooking at home most nights instead of paying to go out for unhealthy prepared meals! I recommend it for sure.

Happy cooking!
Clare

Thanks, Yolande. I cover most of this in the post, except the services that I couldn’t include.

Most affordable: Definately Hello Fresh! They offer discount codes for new customers to recieve $40 off their first box.

So I paid $29 for my first box instead of $69. They also give you the ability to pause future boxes which give you time to experience your first box and then decide if you want to order any more.

Marley Spoon also offers a discount code for $30 off first order

Home Chef offers a discount code $30 off first order –

For Blue Apron I used a Groupon offer which gave me 50% off.

Most expensive: Terra’s Kitchen but the prep is all done for you

Least Prep required: Terra’s Kitchen. The meals were delivered in a reusable cooler with shelves. All the prep had been done so it was the quickest of all the subscriptions I tried

Freshest Produce: HelloFresh, Terra’s Kitchen, Marley Spoon

Organic Produce: Sunbasket & Green Chef

Best for those who enjoy cooking: Hello Fresh, Home Chef & Marley Spoon. The reason being, all the other subscription meal services contained premade sauces and condiments. With Hello Fresh & Marley Spoon you are able to duplicate the recipes on your own at a later date as you make all the sauces from scratch i.e Dijon mustard pork rub with sage . You make it all yourself so you know what goes into it.

Best selection: Hello Fresh (features Jamie Oliver recipes), Home Chef great selection and styles, Marley spoon (now features Martha Stewart recipes)

Least favorite Recipes: Sun Basket & Green Chef. Blue Apron was hit and miss

Most difficult subscription to cancel: Green Chef

Least packaging / Most eco friendly: Terra’s kitchen as they collect their reusable container the following day. Sunbasket also had the ability to return their packaging to them but it was not automatic.

Freebies: HomeChef includes a ring binder with your first order for you to store your recipes

Hope the feedback helps

They totally are! I’m about to sign up for a few of them and maybe alternate which ones I get depending on the month 🙂

Thank you for checking it out, Sally! Ahaha I’d be lazy about dinner too (well aside from when I get these boxes I usually am).

This is perfect!

Exactly Michelle- Great way to buy less, decrease food waste and try new things ?

This is a perfect way to get portioned meals and new recipe ideas, for sure ?

Definitely! Give it a try, Lisa! Good luck in the giveaway ?

The recipes are so flavorful and unique- you’ll love them!

This will help a lot, Dana!

It definitely is!
