Gousto vs Hello Fresh

[mckenzie]

I was only introduced to Hello Fresh about 5 weeks ago but I am loving. Y weekly box, the ease of cooking interesting meals and the lack of food waste.
Now I found out about Gousto!

Has anyone experienced both?
Any thoughts on which is better?
TIA

Bump

Never heard of either.

Do you work for them?

I tried both. I thought the gousto box was great, but hello fresh sent me the wrong recipe cards, the ingredients had spilt in the box and the customer service person was casual rather than professional - which annoyed me as I had bought the box to save time, not spend ages chatting on the phone. I also thought there wasn't enough veg in the HF box.

The problem I found with both is the recipes got predictable and too similar after a whie ( I get emails each week listing the recipes). It was no better than the meal planning I was doing myself.

So in summary, I preferred gousto, but wouldn't use either regularly. Good for an occasional busy week ( though you have to know well in advance it will be busy as you have to order ages in advance)

Thanks CK. I quite agree with you abith it enough veg in the Hello fresh meals. I have mentioned it but I don't think anything has changed. I just always supplement each meal with some frozen mixed veg. It's easy enough to do so I'm not bothered doing it.
I think I'll keep with HF for a while longer then, until the meals start to get boring, and then switch to Gousto for a while.
The good thing is you can switch back and forwards and dip in and out can't you?
I'd never have signed up to it if I had to commit, even just to a month.
I do really like the flexibility.
And I don't work for either MMOC, but have just honestly been pleased with HC so far
