HelloFresh
Best for: Families who want to cook fresh dinners with pre-portioned ingredients
A good fit for households that want to cook fresh dinners without planning or shopping, particularly larger families where the per serve price falls below $10. Couples ordering small boxes will pay a premium once the introductory discount ends.
- Published per serving price table across every household size and box size, so costs are easy to work out before ordering
- 33 or more recipes each week, plus lunches, desserts, sides and snacks that can be added to a box
- Per serving cost drops sharply for bigger households, down to $8.59 a serve on a 6 person, 6 meal box
- Flexible subscription: change box size, swap delivery day, skip a week or cancel at any time
- No delivery to Tasmania, and several regional areas carry conditions on availability
- You still cook every meal, so it saves shopping and planning time but not cooking time
- The advertised entry price relies on an eight week introductory discount, with ongoing rates near $11.69 a serve for a couple
- Small boxes are poor value: a 2 person, 2 meal box works out at $14.99 per serve
