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
My Foodie Box
Best for: Households wanting an Australian owned meal kit with dietary filters and eco packaging
A local alternative to the big meal kits for households that want to cook, with grass fed and free range sourcing and strong dietary filtering. Worth checking the price at your chosen box size, since the small box rate is well above the advertised starting price.
- Weekly menu of roughly 27 to 40 recipes with filters for low carb, low calorie, gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian
- Choice of 2, 3 or 4 serve portions and 3 to 5 recipes a week, so it scales from couples to families
- Recyclable and compostable packaging, plus the old box is collected when the new one is delivered
- No lock-in contract: skip, pause or cancel before the Monday cut-off
- Flat $9.95 delivery fee on every box adds to the cost of smaller orders
- Per serve price of $15.33 on a small 2 serve, 3 recipe box is steep next to the $6.25 headline rate
- No kilojoule or macro figures published alongside the menu, only dietary tags
- Delivery is limited to selected eastern states and WA rather than nationwide
