Has anyone else noticed Gousto portion sizes going down?

I’ve been with Gousto for a few years and do absolutely love the variety and the convenience.

However I’ve started to notice small tweaks - recipes that used to have four potatoes have gone down to three, weight of vegetables have been reduced etc.

Has anyone else noticed it?

Just me? Or is everyone else busy making dinner 😊

I use Gousto a lot and can’t say I’ve noticed a decrease in portion sizes but what I have noticed is substituted ingredients. For example, the paneer curry, which I loved, now seems to permanently have yoghurt instead of clotted cream which ruins the flavour and separates in the sauce.

Oh that seems like a disappointing substitution for sure. I too have noticed a lot of substitutions that don't really equate to what's been subbed out. Instead of coconut flakes I recently got Nigella seeds Confused, and I'm seeing an awful lot of red peppers turning up, which I don't like and would never ordinarily choose!

I haven't noticed a reduction in portion sizes, but I do find the portions a bit stingy overall - especially mince-based dishes! We use a box for 4 between 2 adults and DD14, and rarely have leftovers.
