Meal kit delivery subscriptions, such as HelloFresh, can be extremely convenient. With HelloFresh, you can get weekly boxes filled with all the pre-portioned ingredients necessary to make healthy, unique, and varied recipes, along with the instructions and nutrition information for each recipe delivered right to your house. This eliminates the need for weekly menu planning and grocery shopping, and simplifies meal preparation, reduces food waste, and introduces you to new dishes and cooking techniques.
However, HelloFresh is a subscription service rather than an ala carte meal box, so if you go on vacation, change your budget or diet, or just decide you want to try a different approach to meal planning and prep, you might want to cancel or change your HelloFresh subscription. Can you skip a delivery, change, or cancel your HelloFresh subscription? If so, how do you cancel HelloFresh subscriptions? Keep reading to find out.
