Every week I choose all the meals that look good and my husband and I go through and select the three meals that we are going to eat for the week. Wouldn’t you know it, I forgot to do the last part of that process which was to filter down, so I am now getting 10 meals for the week and I am not sure how I’m going to eat all of this without it spoiling. I will never financially recover from this.😭😭😭 I think what I’m going to do is cook the meals that will likely be able to be frozen and reheated first. And put them in some souper cubes.

Call HF if it’s not shipped yet you can probably fix it I’ve changed meals a day late before
Yeah, gotta remember to cut down your choices lol. Fortunately, I don’t usually check more than 3 for the week and when I do, I then go through and only keep the 3 I want when I’m in that session. Sorry you have to deal with this stress.
Think about giving some of the meals to friends, or maybe some servings or invite one or two people over to help you eat some, I guess family style. Freeze all the meat and maybe some of the veggies, except what you are going to use next; or maybe cook, then freeze the meals. Consider cooking 2 or 3 in one day (with your husband’s help of course) and maybe eat some of the meals/servings for lunch
Oh man hopefully they’re good freezable meals! Maybe skip a week or 2 after this one lol
Typically the stuff is good for 2 weeks, just freeze the meat.
For what it’s worth I now make thai curry on my own regularly and I do it in big batches to freeze and it reheats just fine.
I’ve done something similar, but in my case it was getting boxes from two services the same week, usually I am better at remembering to skip the other services, but I missed a week on one I rarely use and got not only 3 extra meals that week, it wasn’t even 3 I picked.
Look to see what has the most perishable items, stuff that’s precut, or cucumbers seem to go the quickest for me, and like someone else said, just freeze the meat.
Thai Coconut Curry Chicken for breakfast!
I haven’t done this, but it is a possibility that I have to watch out for! If that were to happen, I would freeze the meat, save the packets and just provide new veggies/dairy as they start to go bad. Might want to skip next week’s shipment.
Oh god I’m so glad I saw this post, obviously I’m not glad this has happened to you. But it made me check HF to make sure my plan was paused and it wasn’t so I would’ve ended up with a delivery if food I didn’t even choose 🙈
Reduce your up coming orders to 2 meals and eat them from oldest to youngest until you catch up.
Cook them and and then freeze them.
fuuuuck looks like youre skipping next week. id cook anything w lettuce or zucchini first
I also hate when you forget to change your meals and they send the default one. Always the worst recipes! Also, we are a non beef household and there always seems to be a ground beef meal. I wish there was an option that you could choose so they never send you beef or pork or whatever if you forget to change them.
I had to double check I didn’t post this in a fugue state. I think we topped out at 8 but have tragically done this more than once. When I did this we made some for lunch, adapted some with similar proteins/sides using the double recipes for lunch leftovers, and held some over for the following week with hardier ingredients.
Dinner party!
Usually meals last me 2 weeks, maybe don’t use the meat after a week, but everyone else should be good
Freeze them asap.
I made this mistake for last week’s meals, but mine was 4 meals instead of our usual 2. Kept me busy in the kitchen. 10 is a nightmare!
I’m surprised it allowed you to purchase 10 meals! I can never order more than 5 in a week
Freezer
I know someone who does Every Plate and HF. Filled up both EP and HF carts with all potentials for the week. Forgot to go back and cancel one and pare down the other. I am that someone…
