Meal Kit Advice and Tips Please

Brokedog on 03/11/2022 - 12:20

Hello everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has any advice on the best way to take advantage of meal kit promotions.

I've recently tried the Hello Fresh intro box ($50 + Free delivery off first, $35 off second box). At the initial discount I find it quite worth it, but it quickly becomes quite pricey without the discounts. Yes, they have their pros and cons (mostly the amount of packaging and cost for me). I was thinking of trying all the introductory offers but was wondering if anyone had any tips or information on saving money on boxes over the long term. It would be something I wouldn't mind ordering once in a while for an easy week of meals (e.g. discount codes that can be used for existing customers, a list of all introductory offers etc.)

Thanks in advance.

    With hello fresh if you have free boxes to give to friends, do it. I tend to give them away through Facebook groups and get $25 back for each box which makes each week a lot cheaper.

    I just cycle through them every few weeks. Everyplate, Dinnerly, Hello Fresh always use a discount. I have a week off every now and then.

      Do they send you new discounts or do you just reuse them again?. Cheers

        IIRC Hello fresh tends to send discounts if you skip like 3-4 weeks in a row.

        yea, so sign up, use all the 3 or 4 weeks of discounted meals. Then sign up to Marley spoon or Dinnerly, and use those 3 weeks or so. And in that time HF will probably say they miss you and send you a discount for another 3 weeks. As that happens marley or dinnerly or whomever you last used will probably send you a miss you discount.

        Keep rinsing and repeating.

    I’ve used Hello fresh and Marley spoon for almost 2 years and very very rarely have a I paid full price. After roughly 3 to 4 weeks of not using a company you will get a discount email, if you don’t use the trial discount in 2 weeks you will get a second email with a higher discount. My partner and I just cycle through each service. If you have to pay full because no discounts just cancel and buy your own food for a few weeks. Also you can try using the sign up promo a second time using a different email, payment method, name etc but only do this once or twice any more and they will ban your address
