More often than not I'm getting the tiniest pieces of produce. It's ridiculous paying this much money only to not even get enough to cover the basic recipe. For example, my last recipe was supposed to have 3oz of carrots and it didn't have half that. Is anyone else having this issue?

Its so inconsistent and it’s easy to get a “refund” except it isn’t really a refund. Its usually like a couple bucks off an add on. Total scam.. however decision fatigue is real and it’s still a nice break two days a week.
I cancelled. Annoying. Getting more expensive for lower quality..
I find when there’s a lot of ingredients, for example this recipe includes 13 in total, kale, chickpeas, couscous, onions and others that you didn’t show, that the quantities of the ingredients are less. This makes sense given how much other things are being added in. I’d suspect that you don’t miss the 1.6 oz that wasn’t included. If you’re really upset ask for a refund for what was missing.
That’s reason why i switched to Gousto 🙄
I had multiple items that had gone bad last time I ordered. Veg is the worst culprit. Waste of money, even with the discounts.
I mean for what I pay for it idc really. Keep some extra veg in teh freezer and some extra starch in the pantry just in case. Take pics like this as I do too ans complain if it gets crazy. I won’t even use them for any less than 40% off. I got 10 weeks of discounts stockpiled on my accounts as we speak lol
Agree. And not just recently. For some time, the quality and quantity of produce has been sub par.
Carrots like that are often considered “throwaways” at the vegetable packing houses, meaning the farmer gets paid very little for them. Hello Fresh is probably paying very little for them.
Most definitely. I cooked before Hello Fresh but stuck with it to try and learn new things. Once I was no longer single, I left because I would never serve most of the boxes I received to anyone else.
Wait for cucumber day
The box I received last week had the tiniest produce. Portions were significantly less than the box I had 6 weeks ago. The dishes are saltier since the ratio is off.
It’s the market and the season it’s really complicated more than you think
