I can’t believe hello fresh only offered $9 off another purchase to make up for not sending complete kits!!! That’s such bad customer service. They literally failed their one job by forgetting the main part of the meal, not to mention the missing meal. Jeesh!

[@clandestinecoherence]

yeah, that’s unacceptable. that’s them just making more money, since you’re buying more stuff to get the “discount”. not them making up for their mistake

[@ArtGeek19]

absolutely ! I feel like buying the meat that was missing for 2 meals plus the other ingredients for the one meal would easily cost more than 9!

[@charleneb5361]

@@ArtGeek19 They might be revealing their product cost. A full meal plus two portions of meat costs them $9 so that’s the credit they’ll give you 🤷‍♀️ Quite good profit if so.

I only tried hello fresh once. I got pissed because they didn't deliver it on time, ended up sitting with the courier for 24hrs before it arrived at my house and everything was no longer cold. Never again.

I fully agree with your final remark, more boxes should cater to singles and not use umpteen utensils and pots/pans. It's lovely not to have to spend the time going out grocery shopping, but if you then lose that time on the cleanup...

[@nopahrefa4466]

seems unlikely she'd manage to locate the meat for one of the three meals, and somehow miss the meat for the other two, specially as meal number three was completely missing from the box. on the horses-to-zebras scale here, I think the horses is hellofresh didn't send the meat and zebras is grace found one third of the meat and left the pork in the box.

[@tiffo2022]

Hello fresh- having worked there before I know a lot of regular issues that occur- So the kits get made by us- using the pre packaged items, and some times randomly you’ll get an extra spice packet, or be missing one- but because not every kit is checked continuously it’s hard to spot them. When all the kits are made, you move to another conveyor line- which is where you put a insulation bag in the box, 2 ice packs, all the meat/cold items like yoghurt, 2 more ice packs and seal it. Then on top would be all the meal packs. Then at the end, recipe cards get put in and then it gets weighed- it’s supposed to weigh between two numbers, if it’s under or over it gets pulled off to be checked. But if it’s between 6kg and 6.6kg and then it weighs 6.1kg, it could be missing a lot. The food isn’t great quality; a lot will be dropped and then picked up and put back in again, and such things like that. It’s not worth the risk in my opinion!

[@meganmcmahon7883]

Having done both HF and Gousto, we WAY preferred Gousto! We’ve stopped getting it every week now, but we still make some of the recipes as part of our regular meal rotations. Definitely great to do to shake up what you’re eating

[@workingmumsneedgin6505]

I used to love Gusto but deleted the app because I was trying to curb my spending. Watching this made me take a look, logged in and got a box at 60% off. 4 meals for 4 for £22 very welcome in this current climate. We'll worth logging in if you haven't used them in a while!

[@tonyarussell8419]

Absolutely LOVE Mindful Chef 💗💗💗 We have three meals every week and I can honestly say we’ve never been disappointed. They’re fresh, good quality , perfect portions ,easy to follow, really tasty and you have meals you’d never normally bother to make ,subsequently , midweek meals are turned into a special culinary feast! ⭐️

[@chavley]

I used to work at hello fresh. The pay is crap, the working conditions are horrible, treated badly by the company and you get hours taken away if you refuse to use a gone off item. Almost all the veggies were at least a month out of date and we werent even allowed to not give customers rotting veggies. The reason you didn't get a recipe is probably because the staff refused to do it, I would refuse to work after 8 hours with no breaks but it's all okay "because it's fine, the customer won't notice".

[@Lauren-vj6mc]

I regularly get HelloFresh and have learnt to go through all the bags as soon as I receive them and check off all the ingredients. It’s amazing how often I’m missing something, or the quality is horrendous of certain items. Yes it’s easy to report but also just so annoying. Here in Australia they come with the veggies and most things in paper bags but all the chilled items are separate in a big freezer bag so I go through and match everything up, but found that if I store all the veggies in a plastic bag in the crisper of my fridge they last longer than just in the paper bags in the main fridge part.

[@louvisa762]

My family and I used to have Hello Fresh but the meals are quite similar so it just felt as if you were eating the same thing over and over again even though they are supposed to be different recipes. We have also gotten the wrong ingredients or key ingredients that where missing so we couldn’t actually make the meal at all.

Out of hello fresh and gousto, I prefer gousto. I found the portion sizes and the flavours much better, and like yourself, always have missing items from a hello fresh box. The meat quality is always good with both boxes but I would pick gousto time and time again.

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

Thanks useful feedback as not tried Gousto but found the portion sizes on Hello Fresh most of the time (75% of meals) to be on the small size for a adult male

Great video - I have only used Gousto and really enjoyed it. After 30 years of trying to think of what to cook for dinner, suddenly I was inspired again. I found it high quality, reliable, environmentally packaged, easy to follow, love that you get the recipe cards so you can make again - there wasn't anything I didn't like tbh. In fact I think I'll start again with Gousto - I could do with some more inspo!

[@reneeknook6591]

I really love using sidekick from sorted (and their KZbin too)! It’s not a meal kit but it’s so easy to plan your week and go to the shops just once or maybe twice a week. Also I noticed it saves soo much money 😵‍💫 I’m curious what your thoughts are on it Grace!!

[@tigrissapphire915]

My husband and I use sidekick and it is our favorite thing to pick the meal pack for the week. Then I set up a pick up order from the grocery store and we’re set. We spend so little on food now it’s insane

[@allpicturenosound]

I used to love Hello Fresh but cancelled after numerous problems. Went through a spate of three boxes where ingredients were missing. Beyond frustrating.

[@shanf5688]

If you ask them for a full refund, they should give you it! I had a lot of issues with them and requested money back to my bank account every time :) you’re entitled to a full refund!

[@faylawson8283]

I use gousto regularly. I'm a single person and get 5 recipes per box which gives me 10 meals each time. Only occasionally have missing ingredients, usually a spice or something. Very rarely a big/important ingredient. The credit back to the account works in my favour as I do order a box every two weeks so the money off helps but I do see if it's a one time purchase why that would be annoying. I'm not convinced though that if there was more people in my household I'd still be getting the box, I do feel that you could probs do each recipe cheaper buy buying from the supermarket for 2 or more people whereas for a single I find it a ton better for waste control as supermarket portions are often too big and don't get used up as quickly. But that's just me :-)

[@jennr8083]

I've had so many bad experiences with hello fresh. Meat going off super quick. Missing or not ripe items. Delivery at 10pm!

I tried Blue Apron years ago. I loved the variety, the pre-measured ingredients, and freshness of food. I will say, I found the ingredients to be very fresh and organic. A few times I didn't take the time to cook and the vegetables would spoil in my refrigerator. I may look into another meal delivery service.

I tried Gousto for the first time a few weeks ago, i really did rate it! I got 55% off my first box which was even better but i cant justify the price after that, sadly. The meals were super easy to make, and tasty, and i love that no ingredients are wasted. I have kept the recipe cards for future use, also! I got the 5 recipe, 2 portion, option and one night my boyfriend and I cooked one recipe for our tea and the rest i meal prepped for work or cooked for my tea beforehand. All the recipes were decently sized and easily could have stretched to 3! Would recommend

[@pz4971]

My aunt lives in Indiana (USA), and tried a few times with Hello Fresh and they literally never delivered her food, so must be an international issue!

[@Lucymargo271]

I get hello fresh or Gousto depending on how i feel. I really like both. I get three meals just for myself and they feed me for six days 😊

[@Geeeee217]

Loved this video, super insightful and interested in looking into mindful chef now! I have used both hello fresh and Gousto mostly in order to find new recipes and because both have quite good discounts for around the first month you use it. (I have actually used gousto twice as they have sent me more really good discounts even once I’d used them before). They both served their purpose and still use the recipes from previous boxes, although I think with gousto have recipes that I’m more inclined to reach for, although perhaps I’m just more practised in picking out recipes by now. The issue with recreating recipes from these meal boxes is that sometime they send you quite niche ingredients as they’re sending them to you in small amounts. Although I would say I have found it more difficult with hello fresh recipes than gousto, but always managed in the end! Another thing to add is that I also had an accident with HF in it missed the meat out of a recipe and they gave me credit too which I have yet to use 😅 I’ve actually never had to think with gousto if it’s all there or not! I much prefer the ingredients being sent in fridge/cupboard sections than by meals as I hate using up space in my fridge for things that don’t need to be there. Sorry very lengthy input on my options on HF and Gousto that nobody asked for. Just incase anyone was interested! ❤

[@amyjayexo]

You should do a video on the sorted food sidekick app! basically all this but you buy your own food and helps to eliminate food waste x

[@sorscha1308]

Missing ingredients on the Hello Fresh box does happen A LOT. Usually it's just one thing missing, not a whole recipe's worth but their standard thing is to just refund £10 (apparently 9 now), whatever the problem has been. Another issue i found with them was that often the meat would have a 'use by' date that fell within a couple of days. Meaning you obviously can't actually plan your week because you just have to get on and make the thing that's going out of date tomorrow and then time everything else, just hoping you get through it all b4 the dates run out.

[@elizabethw.6154]

Can you try already prepared meal services? We have ones like Factor7 here in the US, even some small chef based local ones too. That would be good for those of us who don't have much energy from illnesses or ability with our hands to prep and cook.

[@icequeen20000]

We've had issues with both hello fresh and gousto so now we try to make sure we have a backup meal in the freezer in case things don't arrive. I love cooking, my partner is a bit more hesitant but having the exact quantities for each recipe and the recipe cards really helps him out. Overall I think I like Gousto the best for the variety of recipes you get to pick from.

@@tarachristie933 I don't think it would apply to this. Disposable plastic straws and cotton buds were banned a few years ago.

I'm surprised to hear though that the same company uses different types of packaging in different countries though - hopefully their UK arm gets updated soon.

[@lolaaa6696]

I used to get hello fresh delivered every week and I actually had lots of problems with it in the end. I don't know if that's the case for other countries but I'm from Luxembourg and we get delivered Hello fresh from Belgium. In the end there were always some ingredients missing, the vegetables were not fresh at all and the portion sizes were way too small like for example we got 200g of chicken for 4 people! That's why we stopped ordering it

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

I don't like grating either ... if I have a lot to do, especially cheese, I use the Cuisinart. Here in the USA the main meal boxes are Green Chef, Hello Fresh. Blue Apron, and Home Chef - they seem to be the most popular.

[@indreduobaite13]

Personally, I really love Hello Fresh. I've gotten it 8 times in the past 6 months when I had different deals and discounts and the only bad experience was that I had 1 minor ingredient missing. For me, the more convenient the recipe is made to be - the better it is

[@Platinumb1]

I used to agree with you, but for me (someone who likes variety and trying new cuisines) it got boring real fast. Always the same minced meat, often potato wedges, often just diced chicken. It isn't that it's bad, it's just a bit uninspiring and boring to me! That being said i always go back every few months - until I get bored.

Whereas where i live in dorset it has been the exact opposite, gusto often turned up with mouldy food or ingredients missing. hellofresh however are really good in our area, always very fresh and never or very rarley missing an ingredient.

Tried hello fresh and everything came. But the portion sizes are tiny. And everything is extra unless you want to eat mince meat every time. Having said that it was pretty tasty but we wouldn’t get it again.

Hello fresh being the advert for me 😂

Literally cooking gousto as I watch this! Hello fresh I prefer but not as much selection for veges

[@Charlottec968]

hello fresh always lacks good veggie options, every time I've been tempted to try it out there's maybe like 2 options for the week so I've never bothered

I used Hello Fresh for 9 months cause its the only decent option where I live. Had few mess ups but nothing too bad, actully they kept sending me doubles of stuff which i did not mind at all 😄 But yeah wish we had something like Gusto here. After a while Hello Fresh started to get very repetetive if you have any food prefrences. Like I dont eat fish or seafood in any form so out of 20 recipes for the week 7 were automatically not an option for me.

I have had nothing but bad experiences with hello fresh; out of date ingredients, wrong recipes, forgetting the entire box … on the contrary, have loved Gousto!

[@user-yg7dt6te8g]

Hello fresh used to be pretty good but had to cancel mine after they repeatedly missed out ingredients. Plus not enough veggie options!

I think you can purchase all these ingredients through online grocery stores, and the recipe can be easily found through the internet. It saves more compared to meal kits, which I don't understand why meal kits are so popular.
