| - I'm motivated to write about Goodfood (makegoodfood.ca) because I feel the low rating is unfair. One of my colleague has had the subscription for almost a year and has been loving it. So when I got a coupon in the mail, I said "heck why not!" and signed up. So far, I've had 5 boxes from them and 1 box from a competitor so that I can be more fair in my assessment.
Shipping. I have my box shipped to my work and have no problems with delivery. They always deliver early afternoon in the Old Port area. So 5/5.
Subscription model. Yes, that's how they make money. You have to log into your account and "skip" the weeks you don't want, otherwise you will be shipped a box. I find that it's very clearly shown in your account which weeks are "on" or "off". They also send you email reminders each week. If you got billed (as I did), it was my fault because I simply forgot. That being said, I was secretly happy to have a food box for the week cause their food is good! 5/5
Food and recipe quality. My criteria is that it has to be good tasting AND quick to make cause I'm slow in the kitchen. Challenge anybody? Well, I find that Good Food is up for it. Most meals can be prepped within 30-45 min. The best part of their recipes? It's a complete meal: protein, veggies and starches. I have the "classic" meal plan and love the unique ingredients they incorporate into the recipes. The recipes allowed me to discover chayote salad, cherry salad, tomatillos, cotija cheese, carribean sweet potato, etc. stuff I've not normally cooked with. It lets me live the fantasy that I know how to cook :D They include full family and vegetarian recipes as well. Freshness, prep time, taste, portions and presentation 4.5/5
Quality. One thing I appreciate is the quality of the packaging/presentation. Everything is well-packaged and attractively branded. It shows a lot of care how well assembled the boxes are. (Compare my experience with Miss Fresh: the meat package was slashed open and when I got the box, it was a BLOODY mess, literally. I wasted so much time cleaning it up just so I could actually take it home. You can read more about it in my review of MissFresh.) The quality of Good Food is superior to Miss Fresh by at least 2 stars and because of that, I'm satisfied that I'm getting a fair exchange for my money. 5/5
Overall. I'm happy with Good Food. Although I won't get a box every week, I'll keep them on and once in a while "treat myself" to a box. It's like eating out but in :) I love how diverse their recipes are, the fact that they use the basic things that anyone would have in their kitchen (zester, frying pan are your go-tos), beautiful, easy-to-follow recipe cards, reasonable pricing ($65 for 6 meals), and overall good taste. Customer service is responsive. Website is really user friendly. The fact that your food is properly portioned is fantastic so there's no wasting. As a member, you have access to their menus each week so you could try making some of them on your own if you so choose or remake one that you had. The luxury they provide is that everything you need is at your fingertips. 4.5/5
If you want to give them a try, message me and I'll send you a $40 credit!
