I really like hello fresh. We only ever get it when we have 50 percent off offer so the family meals for four people work out at 32 pound (4 recipes for 4 people). I totally understand that I could do it much cheaper than that if I shopped at Aldi etc(and I do shop there when we don't get HF), but I'm terrible at meal planning. With the discount it's 8 pound per night so not comparable to how much we'd spend if we went out for a meal. I find the food is generally much nicer than a typical wetherspoons/beefeater pub food too. In total we've probably only had them 8 or 9 weeks over 2 years but I'm always pleased when we get a voucher though.
I do find the pass agg comments to people in response to her ads ridiculous though. It's weird how much influencers feel they owe companies when they do their sponsored post. Surely Sarah's job is to create whatever content the brand have asked her to do. If her audience like hello fresh or not is out of her control so why is she being so arsey in the comments? I'd think a 'thanks for your comments that's really useful to know', or even 'Hello Fresh are slightly different as you get pre-weighed ingredients but it's great that there are other options out there too' or something would be far more endearing to her readers.
