I address each counterpoint below.
1. Hack to make HelloFresh feel less expensive
This time I ordered 3 meals per week for 2 persons. I still think it's
expensive, but I found a hack that will make it more tolerable. The serving
portion and calories for each meal are big (when you're on a diet), so I
divide each meal into four instead of dividing each meal into the
recommended two. We eat half for dinner, and the rest I put in the fridge
for lunch the following day. This technique allows me to stay under my
calorie intake, making spending for HelloFresh more acceptable.
It solves both lunch and dinner! If you're working from home and have to
think about meals and household chores between calls with customers, it's
quite stressful and overwhelming, so solving both lunch and dinner
definitely helps.

2, 3, and 4. Choose better recipes
In the previous post, I said it's too much effort. However, I realized that if
I choose dishes that don't need many utensils, the effort is not too bad.
Plus, hubby helps with cutting the vegetables and our way to bond in the
kitchen.
The recipes we chose this week were delicious. Better than the experience a
year ago, so I am excited to try more dishes.

Cantonese-style Noodles with Beyond Meat I love the sauce and the crunchy vegetables. It's delicious! |
|
|
Not Nonna's Chicken Cacciatore with Cavatappi and Basil My favourite part of the dish is the chicken! |
|
|
Summer Turkey Bolognese My least favourite of all the three dishes this week. |
5. Packaging
They have improved packaging a lot. For some reason, it felt like there's
less waste this time around. Or I just chose recipes that don't have a lot
of plastic.
I will continue using HelloFresh, but I need to balance using it and our
weekly grocery run. Also, I have a small fridge and don't have an oven, so
managing my limited space is always a concern.
