Tried Gusto which was more expensive but didn't have the same issues. The main reason we used these companies was because of the ongoing "what shall we have to eat tonight?" dilemma and if we had a few meals already chosen in a bag this issue was less of a problem.

After 6 months we had built up a decent number of recipe cards we liked (from both HF and G). We stopped our subscriptions and now we meal plan a week in advance and if we want inspiration we choose some random meals from the cards and make sure we have the ingredients next time we go shopping.
