A few weeks ago, we were talking to one of our amazing customers – Amy from Pittsburgh. Her stories about our boxes, recipes and how they’ve transformed dinner time with her husband made us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. When a customer says something like “HelloFresh is a total game changer”, it makes all the hard work completely worth it! Being the sentimental people we are, to celebrate Amy’s 100th HelloFresh box, we couldn’t resist sharing her story on our blog! So here goes:

I recently received my 100th box with HelloFresh. I cannot believe I’ve cooked over three hundred meals with their boxes – HelloFresh is the best!

Life gets hectic

My husband and I both work long hours. He’s a financial planner and I’m a surgical physician’s assistant with an unpredictable schedule. In the past, we found it tough spending our weekends planning meals for the week and then on top of that going grocery shopping. It led to a lot of extra stress and food waste!  

HelloFresh to the rescue!

Then, about three years ago, one of our friends with a similar work schedule recommended HelloFresh and it was a total game changer. My work day begins at the hospital at 6am and I often don’t leave until 7pm. I am on my feet all day operating so needless to say, I am pretty tired by the time I get home!

I am committed to making time for both professional growth and also living life to the fullest, which is why HelloFresh is so important to me. I love leaving work behind at the end of the day – especially when it means to make memories and have fun with my husband in the kitchen! The service takes all the stress out of meal planning. We get our box every single week and pick our three cooking nights ahead of time according to our schedules, so it’s a perfect fit!

Laughing and learning while cooking

My husband and I LOVE HelloFresh and look forward to our delivery every week. We tend not to pick our meals because we prefer to be surprised when we open the box, plus sometimes it’s too hard to choose! We have a rule in our house – whoever gets home first has to start chopping. It’s become so much fun for us and it’s the perfect way to decompress after a long day. We open a bottle of wine, laugh, chat about our days and simply reconnect, all while learning how to cook! It has certainly become something to look forward to.

We’re feeling particularly happy after reading all this. So to make sure you can all try out HelloFresh and give yourselves a break, we’re offering new customers $35 dollars off your first box. Put your feet up and let us do the hard work for you!
