Top 3 Reasons Why You’d Need an Alternative to HelloFresh
While HelloFresh's value lays in planning and convenience, it does not meet everyone's needs. Here are the top reasons you often look for an alternative:
1. Expensive Without a Discount Code
HelloFresh can be expensive if don't have a discount code. This is the top reason we hear, and it makes HelloFress less budget-friendly for regular meal planning.
2. Limited Dietary Options
If you have specific dietary needs, allergies, intolerances, or medical conditions, HelloFresh's offering might not offer the personalization you need.
3. Lack of Flexibility
HelloFresh lacks the adaptability to truly fit your personal and family lifestyle and preferences when it comes to cravings, the number of portions, order frequency, or to consider what pantry items you have.
Why Would You Prefer Pepesto Over HelloFresh
Pepesto and HelloFresh offer the convenience of meal planning. However, Pepesto provides broader range of dietary preferences, cost and saving options, and customization.
