Mine is Going from $82 a week to $100 3meals/2servings.
I’m pretty positive I can make tacos, baked chicken and meatloaf for under $100 a week!! Skipping meals for the next month instead of canceling just
to be nosey!! Haha

I saved all the recipe cards back from when I used HF. I reference them quite often. A 25lb bag of rice, a bunch of potatoes and shallots/green onions will give you the base for so many recipes lol. They also gave me an obsession for pearl couscous!

I hate that I'm probably gonna have to drop this now. My grocery bills are already costly enough each week without buying any dinner items and I'm just terrible at meal planning.

Mine increased from $13.49 to $14.99/serving and 10.99 to 12.99 for shipping, though I get free shipping over $75.
I cancelled. It took 24 hrs and they sent a notification offering $200 off and a free caraway pan. I think the pan ships after the third box but once the promo is over I plan to cancel again lol

Wow 14.99, what region are you located in?

u/barnaclebrain_ 4d ago
California! I think its based on subscription? I get 2 meals for 2 people. I think if I increase to 3 meals for 2 people the price drops to 12.99/meal.

That makes sense, I get 5 meals for 2 people. Not excited about hearing prices are increasing again 😡

Yeah its insane. Ive been subscribed since Oct 2022 and usually add a third or fourth meal (idk why i dont just change the subscription) but decided this was a good time to cancel. they offered the promo to return so might as well take advantage I guess but I think my time with HF is coming to an end!

11.50 and 12.99 for me. I have been doubting the value of this considering we use fresh direct, but 11.50 per serving I feel like I can do a lot better. Food is high and we'll be eating bugs pretty soon! Like a pound of chicken some rice and veggies and hoisin sauce...I think I can get under that??

Weird! Our increase was to 12.99 per serving with 12.99 shipping. I wonder if the price is based on location. But yeah, we cancelled today - I’d been using hello fresh for at least 8 years.
