    Also try HFREAC40 for 40% off next two boxes.

    • This worked for me too, despite the banner as per my other comment offering 30%

    • Didn't work for me, maybe they are on to us.

  • Promo code may not even be required. I logged in to my account, not used for 6 months, and there was a banner at the top of the page offering the same deal.

  • another code is HELLOMIGHTYAPE100 for $100 off your first 4 boxes, $50 off first one, $30 off 2nd and $10 off 3rd and forth (incl standard shipping) - by using this voucher you sign up to a ongoing weekly subscription

      • do these coupons make it worth while? i never tried the service as it looks expensive.

        • 30% discount makes it cheaper than supermarkets these days. Also better than supermarkets in terms of quality. If you're affected by isolation this will be a godsend.

          My view is that HealloFresh is expensive. I can pretty much always do a meal for four from Countdown or PNS (say) for about $15 from basic ingredients (meat, veggies etc). If you go with packaged stuff from the supermarket, you will pay more of course. That does mean buying meat / chicken etc when it is on special, and buying vegetables in season, but those are no-brainers if you have the option (as an aside, on of the best investments is a large freezer - ours is a chest freezer - payback probably less than six months).

          HelloFresh works out a lot more than that (full price might be $150 for five x four meals so about $30 a meal for four - twice what I can do it at the supermarket), but it is easier if you aren't good in the kitchen, or can't be bothered to think about it (sometimes that is a significant consideration!)

          Health-wise there isn't much in it, but if you would be looking at pre-prepared meals or take-aways instead, then either will beat those hands-down.

          We've only done HF with at least a 50% off voucher which brings it down to being good value. Getting a completely free box is unbeatable obviously!

            @Alan6984: I think your not putting value on a few things thou.

            1) The time it takes to do as you say, shop around, buy in bulk, store in a freezer etc - it takes time and effort and petrol vs going to my front door. Yes we still have to shop but instead of once a week or more often where you always buy 40% more stuff than you intended - now its once every few weeks. So definitely saving and helping the waistline there alone.
            2) The effort to think up meals each night - this is the worst, or you just end up having the same things on repeat which makes life pretty boring - this is actually a big one for us. My wife hated always trying to think up new stuff.
            3) The wastage, for the non masterchefs among us, having to much or to little of the meal (and I dont want leftovers for work etc doesnt suit us) or getting to much of one ingredient sometimes because the supermarket only sells in bigger lots etc - is pretty common. We used to waste a lot of food this way.

            But most of all, having bought HF for the last year or so, I can assure you I have probably only 1 or 2 times paid full price - usually as I just forgot to sort it out. With a small amount of effort and understanding the of how they try to lure you back with codes like this one - I have on average paid ~$100 a week for 5x4 meals for at least the last year. Probably more like 2 - this changes the calculation a lot.

            • @Meridian: I agree that some people struggle with preparing meals at home - no idea why, but clearly some do, and for them, HelloFresh probably seems like a good deal (paying someone else to do it for you I guess).

              However, let's not fool ourselves that it is cheaper.

              Bit like having someone else do your cleaning or ironing - definitely not cheaper, but you might regard it as good value if you can't be bothered yourself.

              • @Alan6984: I think it's unfair to compare HF meals with "basic" meals. HF meals contain high-quality meats, lots of greens, herbs and flavoursome sauces. Just an example, a HF meal that contains beef mince will have 600g premium beef mince. At my supermarket premium mince is $29/kg, or $20/kg on special (which has happened very rarely this year), so the mince alone costs $12. $15/meal can't compare with HF meals in terms of quality.

                • @sunshinenz: Which sounds pretty much like saying it is expensive to buy from Hello Fresh?

                  I never said it was the same - just that it is not cheap compared to doing it yourself.

                  The other benefit of doing it yourself is that you can flavour as you prefer, and make it as flavoursome as you like. Many of the HF meals can be a bit bland we found, but again that would be a personal, very subjective thing, and I guess they have to cater in the middle of tastes as it will necessarily be 'one size fits all'.

                  As I said above, at 50% off, which you can very often get, I think HF represents fair value for money.

              • @Alan6984: I dont think many / any people sign up because its simply cheaper. But saying that - I doubt I could get the same ingredients for the 40/50% off (ie around $100 a week) I'm consistently paying and definitely not at the local New World. Maybe Pak N Save but I definitely value my time more.

                • @Meridian: Absolutely - completely agree that if you are time poor, then it might represent a good deal. I know someone who just doesn't like going to the supermarket (at least for the last couple of years), so for them, they are willing to pay a premium to avoid doing that, and for them, the anxiety that they would otherwise experience is not worth it.

                  All I am saying is that we should not be kidding ourselves that is it cheaper (at least at full price).

    • Yea, don't use that one. It's actually worse than the default coupon code they advertise everywhere, 'HELLO2022'. However, if you want more savings, use Shopback or Kiwiwallet, which offer $12 and $15 cashback respectively. You can also use their codes instead so you'll still be eligible for cashback, 'SHOPBACK120' or 'KIWIWALLET120'. I'm a bit disappointed as the Australian HelloFresh often gets upsized cashback rates all the time, recently I saw a 70% cashback rate stackable with $130 off.

    They just sent me a code to lure me into reactivating my account, might work for you: N318WMLP088

    It was 40% off first two boxes, then 20% off two more, I used it for the first two then canned it. A friend used it and it worked on their account too, so may work for some people.

    • Thanks, worked for me.

    • Thanks. worked a charm. worthy of its own post

  • Try VE-FSP4S 40% off first two boxes, then 20% off two more.

  • The referral signup credit is currently $100 off for referees, at least my code is anyway

    50% off first box, 30% 2nd, 10% 3rd.

    I get these quite a bit but since I no longer use HelloFresh, they go straight into the gmail bin.
