In light of the ongoing EveryPlate deal, I figured I might as well post this for people to utilise both services.

The price comes down to $4.245 $4.49 per meal if you
1. Pick 18 meals
2. Use code 2023YOU
3. *Cancel your service once your first box arrives, like a true Ozbargainer

I'm aware that people might hold negative opinions on Youfoodz over their deteriorating services in recent years before/after HelloFresh takeover, but $4.245 per meal is the cheapest deal that I can find recently. Certainly better than the cheapest Coleworths own branded microwave meal IMO.

If you don't like ready meals, certainly stick to the EveryPlate deal, or comment below if you find other cheaper brands at the moment.

    This is pretty good deal. My partner and I were very surprised, with all the meals we ordered quite tasty. In saying that, some meals aren't filling enough, especially the ones that aren't with pasta or rice.

              @fadeinthemix: Doubtful. Just cancelled/deactivated my account with them - food was either too salty (might be just us with the saltiness as we don't add salt to anything) or too spicy or too gluggy. Threw out a couple of meals that we considered inedible for the crows, at least they appreciated them. Took them 3 weeks to actually get an order correct. 1st delivery was a day late, new warehouse issues apparently, and they just seemed to have swapped 5-6 meals for 5-6 random meals but at least we got a credit for the missing meals, 2nd week was a meal short - only got 11 of the 12 ordered, but couldn't be bothered having them on about it. Meal consistency seems a bit hit and miss - one week the other half got a meal which was really nice, re-ordered next week and the sauce was really gluggy so didn't mix thru it all and it was quite salty compared to the previous week.

    • p1 ama on 04/03/2024 - 16:01

      The owners are openly racist towards Asians.

      You know, sometimes I really don't understand people.

      I'm Asian, I've personally faced several examples of very real discrimination which have had real-life impacts on my life. Many of my Asian friends and family have faced similar issues, not just in Australia, but in many places around the world.

      If only we cared as much about the real discrimination many Asians still face daily (including in their professional lives) as much as we cared about what some low-IQ knob decided to say in a video on social media.

      The issue is that real change requires us to do real work, to change the way we do things - it requires discomfort and a departure from the status quo. Making these posts just make you feel better about yourself without enacting any real change.

      I really hope all the people who seem to care so much about anti-Asian racism are out there actually enacting real change.

      • Charmoffensive on 04/03/2024 - 22:13

        Real change involves making it clear to society that knob heads saying stupid shit isn't tolerated. That's the foundation that needs to exist before institutional racism can be erased. Saying that you think casual racism isn't important enough to tackle because institutional racism still exists is like saying there's no point trying to cure diabetes while cancer still exists.

        • p1 ama on 05/03/2024 - 10:01

          Saying that you think casual racism isn't important enough to tackle because institutional racism still exists is like saying there's no point trying to cure diabetes while cancer still exists.

          This is a bit of a cheap shot, hey? You've completely missed the point of what I've said.

          I'm completely for tackling casual racism. I'm happy to talk about all of the things I've done to try and tackle casual racism in a variety of forums throughout my life, if you're interested.

          However, linking a news article from five years ago on an online forum is not "tackling casual racism", it's just trying to make yourself feel good whilst having no impact. I have a problem with this because it gives us the illusion of making progress whilst we are not making any progress at all, and it makes the broader public feel that because we're reporting on it and a whole bunch of people are outraged, that all of a sudden, we all care so deeply for Asian people.

          Just as an example, in the news article above, Woolworths came out to say that they "we deplore racism in any form", yet an Asian person I know (from work) previously worked at Woolies and was racially abused by customers, and when she reported the issue to store management, nothing was done at all, and the abuse happened again several weeks later, after which she left.

          But hey, they came out to say they "deplore racism", so we're all good rightio?

            I disagree. Letting racists know that they people won't forget their bigotry is a fundamental part of keeping people accountable.

            But hey, they came out to say they "deplore racism", so we're all good rightio?

            Corpo speak is always going to be lip service. Isn't it better to let woolies know that public sentiment is pretty harsh against racists? If they weren't a complete duopoly, it might make them second guess their own policy. That said, your friend's situation is an industrial relations matter that is already covered by our current laws and she could've probably raked them over the coals for creating an unsafe working environment.

            • p1 ama on 05/03/2024 - 18:14

              @Charmoffensive:

              I disagree. Letting racists know that they people won't forget their bigotry is a fundamental part of keeping people accountable.

              What impact does this actually have on people who are being discriminated against?

              As I said in my original post, at some point, the words ring hollow when people are happy to "point out" racism, but aren't actually going to do anything to fix it.

              Corpo speak is always going to be lip service. Isn't it better to let woolies know that public sentiment is pretty harsh against racists?

              Sure, but again, "public sentiment is pretty harsh against racists" is pretty weak don't you think? I'm sure that the racist knobs are thinking twice about their actions knowing that some people don't like them. The reality is that racists will continue to be racists until they face real consequences - whatever those consequences may be (being kicked out of a store, being fired from their jobs, being humiliated to their face, being whacked with a cricket bat…etc.)

              Ultimately, I think we both probably agree that "real change" requires more than forum posts or corporate lip service. I think we both probably also agree that we could all do more to step-up and combat racism.

              Where I think we're probably diverging is that my (perhaps cynical) view of the world is that we've become obsessed with "calling out" things, but more often than not, those things don't actually lead to any large scale change because pursuing change often requires discomfort, difficulty, or a break from the status quo.

              • Charmoffensive on 05/03/2024 - 23:39

                @p1 ama:

                What impact does this actually have on people who are being discriminated against?

                If being racist has social consequences, people will be less likely to be publically racist, therefore people like us will encounter less open racism.

                The reality is that racists will continue to be racists until they face real consequences

                You're going to have a tough argument advocating everyone assault racists. You'd also can't discount how effective social ostracism can be on a person. Someone losing a friend is more damaging to people than being punched in the face.

                Ultimately, I think we both probably agree that "real change" requires more than forum posts or corporate lip service.

                Sure, but I think you'll be surprised by how powerful forum posts can be. Like or not, we are social creatures whose views of the world are shaped by an aggregate of the views we are surrounded by. In communities where racism is tolerated online, people are more likely to be openly racist in real life. The converse is true for people who see everyone making posts about how some racist is a PoS every time they log onto their favourite forum.

                Where I think we're probably diverging is that my (perhaps cynical) view of the world is that we've become obsessed with "calling out" things

                I'm not nearly as bothered by what you would consider "slactivism" or "virtue signalling". It's dangerously close to the sort of anti woke reactionary rhetoric of the alt right and those guys are the biggest racists around. I'll take 100 people ineffectually calling out racism online over even one 4chan user. At least I know the virtue signallers consider opposing racism to be a virtue. And honestly, we need all the help we can get if we want to overturn the deep seated anti Asian racism in Australia.

    Youfoodz are known to change their ingredients without notifying customers, and meals that do not normally contain allergens can suddenly have them added.
    Specifically, they put pesto in one of their two spaghetti bolognese dishes.

    I nearly ended up in hospital because they didn't make ingredient changes obvious in the app. They also refused to acknowledge an issue even after I raised this as a serious safety risk to customers.

    If you have any sort of allergy avoid Youfoodz, they don't give a damn about your health and safety.

  • browser on 07/03/2023 - 09:23

    $4.25/meal is pretty good for the convenience factor, sometimes just lazy or too late to prepare a meal. Especially considering even junk good can set you back $10 to $20 per person.

    My mum had a bad experience with this lot - multiple requests to cancel the service and they continued to send meals. Would avoid.

    As a long time youfoodz purchaser, I've just finished the first 4 drop subscription. I really only finished it so I will be able to order in the future if needed, but doubtful I will. I worked out the price over 72 meals (4x18), and just postponed deliveries until I was ready for more. It was better when owned by 'the racists' and with codes. They're Facebook page is inundated with complaints about not receiving delivery. They sent an offer inviting 4 friends to a free box. I invited 3 people and 2 never got delivered and 1 was delivered a day late and sat on the front step all day.

    If you can find codes for street food co, they are very tasty, and the recent 'cooked up' deal delivered nice meals.

    when do you cancel the subscription? after getting the box or is there a cut off day to cancel it before being charged for the next delivery?

    Anyone know of compatible lids for the youfoodz plastic containers? I’m thinking of reusing them

    my box got stolen:( seems like this is a common issue. do they refund?

    Whats the best way to leverage this deal?
    refferal link or cashback pathway? will it work with this code?
    Need to kick start a lifestyle change but also can't cook for the next few weeks so figured this would get me through
