We used to get Hello Fresh but found the quality control became abysmal. Started off with an occasional ingredient missing which I can understand happening from time to time. After a year or so it got to the point that nearly 1 in 3 boxes came with multiple missing ingredients. Last recipe was some salmon and broccoli dish with spices to add flavour. 2/3 spices were missing and so was the broccoli!

Stopped after that fiasco.

Tried Gusto which was more expensive but didn't have the same issues. The main reason we used these companies was because of the ongoing "what shall we have to eat tonight?" dilemma and if we had a few meals already chosen in a bag this issue was less of a problem.

After 6 months we had built up a decent number of recipe cards we liked (from both HF and G). We stopped our subscriptions and now we meal plan a week in advance and if we want inspiration we choose some random meals from the cards and make sure we have the ingredients next time we go shopping.
