Is a SimplyCook subscription worth it?

I can cook and used to enjoy it but due to a combination of working and fussy eaters I've lost inspiration and given up and am relying on convenience foods and the same meals again and again, I'm thinking of subscribing to simplycook for a couple of months to try and get my enthusiasm back.
Our local supermarkets can be quite limited in what they stock(no ethnic stores nearby either) which doesn't help

Does anybody else use them and find they're good for inspiration as I would really like to enjoy cooking again?

I like Simply Cook. All the meals are quite quick to make. I like that I can make them whenever I want as the kits just sit in the cupboard. We have some favourites and get them more than once. I have the odd month off when we get backed up! Then get back into it again.

I get a box about once a month and like it to give us some inspiration for quick, after work meals. Hardly anything takes more than 30 mins and they are so simple my nine year old can do some. I'm a keen cook so don't need them regularly but they definitely beat something from the freezer when you're pushed for time. We had Yemeni lamb pilaf this week, really nice and to make from a recipe would normally just be a Saturday meal. Really good for trying new things without buying lots of ingredients too.

I use simplycook. I've tried hello fresh and gousto but I prefer to just have the non perishable ingredients ready in the cupboard for when I want to cook them without any pressure. I also can substitute any fresh ingredients for ones we like better.

Here's my referral code for anyone who wants to try a free box.

I haven’t tried simply cook but I get hello fresh each week and I really enjoy it. I don’t like planning food and i am not a great cook so it’s suits me .

The simply cook firecracker chicken noodles are amazing, my 15 year old is always asking for them.

I tried Simply Cook for a while and liked it at first but quickly went off it. If you look at the ingredients you are mainly adding salt and sugar to your food and it tastes exactly as you would expect.
