Girl.
I subscribed to hello fresh the other day and have since been watching videos to see if I am going to be wasting my money.
You literally have had the BEST review video out of the like, 50 I have watched. Your part one and two comparisons were honest, thoughtful, and data based.
Well done. Much thanks and new sub.
Thank you so much Christinaaa! 🥰
out of all the reviews i could find, yours are by far the best. thank you!
Thank you Classic! That means so much to me 😊
Thanks for the thorough review. You mentioned that the recipe card was printed upside down. However, those cards are meant to be placed in a binder so as you turn the page over you won't have to flip the binder again. We do something similar where I work LOL. Anyway, will or have you tried Blue Apron? Would like to see that and maybe some already prepared "over ready" meals. Soooo many to choose from Aaarrgghh!! Enjoyed your videos!
Ohhhh I need to start a binder! Currently I have them shoved in a random folder 😂 And I have not tried blue apron! I know Home Chef has over ready meals and I’m tempted to try them but they look so small and expensive. But who knows maybe they’re great!
Peach preserves ...buy the bottle..on toast , on ice cream, on chicken, on pork....
Yummmm
Thanks for your honest review. I was trying to decide between these two as well. You helped my decision!
Glad to help!
Great job. Thank you for being so thorough.
Thanks Daphne!
@@MaddiePants You made me decide on Hello Fresh. Thanks. Hey, have you ever reviewed Daily Harvest?
I have not! Should I?
@@MaddiePants Yes....it's supposed to be more all-natural from what I'm told. I've been doing some research. But I did order Hello Fresh thanks to you. It will be here on Monday.
You guys are so sweet and wholesome
Thanks Claudia!
I put sriracha sauce on just about anything to add some heat.
Yum!
Gobble is good we prefer over hello fresh
I want to point out that until this pandemic is over, a meal service isn't much more (If at all) more expensive than Instacart and gives more control. I don't know if it's just my area but instacart keeps making substitutions even when I specifically ask them not to.
Good point!
Thank you for this comparison video!! We are in the process of trying to decide if we want to do this and which one to go with. I keep seeing ads for Hello Fresh but hadn't seen any for Home Chef. I think we are going to try both of them!!
Definitely try both! I liked both of them, but we have since ordered Hello Fresh like 3 more times 🙈
Tilapia is a crsp fish..read how it was raised.....so right there it would loose 2 points for me...
We had to put our cat down two days ago, seeing your beautiful kitty playing in a box, warms my cold and achey heart.
Cierra I’m so sorry to hear about your kitty. Saying goodbye is the hardest part of having a fur baby but we know they go on to a better place ❤️ Thank you for your wonderful comment 🥰
Hi, I wish you would have tried the non-low calorie Home Chef. Any chance on an update? We are trying out Home Chef (not low cal) and I'm wondering if Hello Fresh still outranks on taste. Another reason you might consider a rematch is that we have gotten a little baking tin with meals to cook in, there is almost no cooking in pans and cleanup is a cinch - this might be a newer feature for HC. Thanks, I like your review style and comments with your Steven.
Hey Jeff! I don’t think we’ll be trying Home Chef again simply based on the price. I have seen those oven ready meals and they sound so appealing to me (since I hate cooking and doing dishes) but I just can’t justify the price right now 😭 Happy Eating!
Homechef is better,, food, customer service, etc. Hello fresh was ok but didn't really care for them. If you have a problem with a box, both services homechef will refund you no questions asked. Hellofresh not the same. They probably was sponsored by hellofresh obviously
Lol I wish I was sponsored by HelloFresh 😂 Home Chef was great too though!
Awesome reviews and it helped that Stephen was there too. I was debating which one to go with but my 84 year old mom is so picky I dont think she will eat any of these. I know I would. She is just no open AT ALL to new foods or ideas, hard headed. But thanks for doing these videos. HI5
You could also look into “every plate” it’s owned by hello fresh but cheaper!
Thank you so much! I was a Hello Fresh customer for over 2 years and my family LOVED nearly every meal we ever had (literally maybe had 3-4 meals over 2 years that we didn’t love). But after 2 years we were ready to try something new. Hated Blue Apron after less than 2 weeks. Trying to find something new to try. Please check out Martha Stewart’s Marley & Spoon and let us know. Also Freshly??
We almost got Marley & Spoon! But the promotion we had on checkout mysteriously disappeared 🤔 and so it was way too expensive 😂 I want to try Freshly though!
Great review! I'm watching this after being a Home Chef customer for 2 years, then had so many issues with Fedex deliveries we switched to Hello Fresh in June of 2020. We share a lot of your sentiments between the two services. Overall, the Hello Fresh meals have way more ingredients to them and are larger portions. We were finding that the Home Chef meals were "too simple" a lot of the time and we didn't feel like we were getting the value for the money comparing the two (that didn't used to be the case, they were much better before Kroger bought them out.) Now having been with Hello Fresh for 7 months now, and they too, switched to using Fedex last month, we kinda miss some of the recipe options that Home Chef offered like Tofu, pizzas, and more meals with seafood overall. In conclusion, we may use both services and go back and forth depending on the week's menu. Best of both worlds?
I think bouncing between home chef and hello fresh is the best of both worlds! Get both promos!
As a fedex package handler! I unload tons of homechef boxes in the southeast. I also be curious what in the boxes too. That was the first time I ever heard of homechef 😂
M 😂 when I started unloading boxes. Is it like a healthy eating meal plan or something?
layout of recipe is orientated for binders.
Maddie - Great honest, down-to-earth reviews. You invite us into your home and share your real-ness. I love that. But I have to give a note on the calorie/ "healthier" talk... the determinant as to whether something is "healthy" or not is not calories alone. I can eat a pop tart that is only 360 calories - it that "healthier" than a 630 calorie meal from Hello Fresh? Home Chef may offer lower calorie meals, which does NOT mean healthier. Some calories are better than others.
Agreed! Thanks Ali!
I soo like the way this way this makes me feel comfortable to try cooking. Otherwise i will eat crap food, thank you!
Best of luck in your cooking endeavors friend!
The lettuce wrap is also makes it a Vietnamese dish because lettuce wraps originated in South Asia.
I LOVE 💕😘 RICE!!! waiting for my HOME CHEF BOX! Hopefully I get a better box😁I have a bunch of potatoes left over from Every Plate. Next month I will try don't know yet.
Spoiler alert, we’re doing Every Plate right now and we too had a bunch of extra potatoes!
you all are a very cute couple. thanks for taking the time and reviewing this, it gives me a better understanding of this stuff... and maybe ill stop eating chicken mcnuggets. maybe.
Aw thank you! I also love chicken McNuggets though 😂
Home chef portions are too small. I bought it so I didn't have to think about that to send my husband for lunch. I made the first meal last night so he could bring it to work today and he ate the two portions without knowing that I didn't eat my portion. Too small
Yes agreed! Thanks for your comment Karen
I know this is an old video lol but do you have a link for Home chef or any code?
Alas I do not 😔 but if you google “home chef” I believe the promo they’re running right now is $90 off! So not bad
@@MaddiePants thank you!
Code OVEN7
Oooh thanks Angela!
@@angelanielsenmosley9057 Thank you!!
I am confused, when I look at hello fresh prices (without the promo discount) they are more expensive by about $2 per meal. I have used Home Chef for 4 years and I never tried Hello fresh because of the more expensive cost by my calculations and the higher calories. I am thinking you used the promo discount when comparing them but it wasn't clear to me from watching your 2 videos reviewing these services. I enjoyed your review however, this was very thorough. Good Job.
Thank you! By my calculations Hello Fresh was slightly cheaper than Home Chef with the promo I got. After your promo runs out, full price for Hello Fresh is like $60 a box which is a little too expensive for me. So sad. But I agree about the calories. I believe overall our Home Chef meals we’re fewer calories than Hello Fresh.
We just ordered EveryPlate. Comes in Tuesday. I heard Hello Fresh owns it, but not sure.
Yes I believe Hello Fresh does own EveryPlate! And I’ve heard good things about EveryPlate, especially that it’s super affordable.
Thanks for talking about the portion size between the two services. In our household if the portions are deemed to be skimpy then that service will not be the winner.
Yeah unfortunately when you order the “calorie smart” option, the portions are bound to be a little small. Which makes total sense! But we hungry in my house lol 🙈
I work for federal express and I unload tons of home chef boxes
Great video
Thanks fam!
Thanks fam!
Did you get coupons later to keep you as a customer? Some do, some don't. I know someone who did a few of them to just get the cheaper meals. ; )
Yes! They send me “16 free meals” coupons like every month!
Those two meals looks more 1 serving per person. I would have to have a two person meal for one 👀🙄😱
Yeah sometimes the portions are a wee bit small 😳
This is the most informative review I have watched and can easily say that I will stick to Hello Fresh instead of trying Home Chef.
Thanks Blue Moon!
7:25 "I'm just a lazy cook and I hate cooking" 😅😅😅
Omg, same.
Edit: 😅😅😅 you're like, all about telling how good of a cook your guy is. Seriously, cooking isn't hard, but I'm personally such a distracted cook. I don't burn our food, but my husband will joke that "the smoke alarm is not a cooking timer" cuz I do CONSTANTLY walk away from the kitchen when I'm cooking.
Like, "oh I don't hear the drier running, better turn it back on one more time / switch loads"
Or I'll be trying to wash dishes while something is cooking, 😅😅😅
But my husband can just stand there and watch the food cook.
Personally I have trouble just standing over a pot to watch it boil, 😂😂😂
Edit: 21:00 it came with a lime... (my first thought, "tequila shots" )...
5 seconds later..... "oh we can do tequila shots later" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Edit: 29:30 thanks for doing a great job with this honest and hilarious review of not just taste and ease of cooking but including pricing, it made sense.
I was debating on if it was going to be worth it to go with one of these and I agree that, along with my own research and your help, I'd go with Hello Fresh too just for the convenience factor of certain ingredients that I'd buy for a single meal and maybe never use again.
Yes, subscribed. #500 baby! Whoot whoot!
Subscriber #500 wooooo!!!! Thank you so much! I too am a very distracted cook and I try and multi task too much and then I get stressed when all the kitchen timers start going off. And I mean when life gives you limes... do a tequila shot 😂. Thanks again for sticking it out to the end of this video. I have another video that goes more in depth on the price breakdown of Hello Fresh if you want to watch that too. Honestly I’m like a Hello Fresh fam now and I’m just waiting for them to send me another $80 off coupon code 😂.
I have been a subscriber of Home Chef for about six months. Love the meal choices, the oven ready option and good price. While they produce and ship very reliably, the shipper they use Ontrac fails to deliver within two days so product is destroyed and my account is credited. Very frustrating, Home Chef customer service says sorry but problem continues week after week I think I have received maybe only a fourth of my orders. Ironic that Home Chef is loosing a customer because of their shipper Ontrac
Home Chef customer service should be giving you credits for the meals you didn’t receive 🙃 such a shame Ontrac messes up because the food is so good!
@@MaddiePants they did but I can't rely on getting a meal plan that doesn't arrive. I have begged them to get a resolution with Ontrac or ship through a different shipper, but they have never gotten back to me with a solution
Shame 😔
Lol partial to hello fresh, I had both & homechef is better. Homechef is the only one I still receive
Home chef kept forgetting main ingredients in my meals. 3 of the 5 boxes I got had missing ingredients and I ended up at the grocery store anyway.
Oh no! I hope you still got to make the meals!
Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
your review is just opposite of me, I like home chef better.
To each their own! ❤️
I think these videos were very informative. My only issue is that I eat a bit more meat and the instructions are hard if you’re not a great cook, I just wish you guys did a little less vegetarian options. But all good.
We’re near eaters too but the vegetarian options were just soooo good! I am also not a great cook so I feel ya there 😂
Well, *you rubbed the lamp* and you *made a wish* and you said you wouldn't be going back until they came out with another $80 discount for going back to try their meals....
*Wish granted!* they just sent out a Black Friday email to everyone for $90 off.
😅😅😅
YESSSSSS!!!!!!
i couldn't find the code for $90 off. Is it still available?
Yes! Hold on let me see if I can find it. I literally just ordered it.
Ok when I google "Hello Fresh" the first link that pops up has the $90 off BUT if that doesn't work try this link: bit.ly/3mAwwYK
The videos were eh...TIL I SAW THE RAVENS TEE!!!!!
YES GO RAVENS!
To save the 125ish calories I'd just nibble less for breakfast and lunch. Hello Fresh was much better whenever I used to subscribe to both of those.
Smart!
Lololol!! you suppose to wash meat first then pat dry.. isn’t that obvious
🤦🏼♀️
I don't think I've ever seen any of the meal cards recommend rinsing the meat, other than shrimp.
@@dane9193 Americans don’t really wash their meat in general most other countries do. The islands use citrus for poultry and red wine vinegar for red meats. It washes off the bacteria from the factory, a lot of Americans have the mindset it’ll die off while I’m cooking which to each their own but I agree with Tessa for some it seems fairly obviously your rinse and pat
