Gousto, Hello Fresh and MyCookbox have all been living up to expectations and better still, thanks to the referral program and people using our links to sign up to receive cut price boxes we&#8217;ve earned lots of free boxes ourselves as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a reminder here are some of the offers available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Gousto are currently offering you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/join?promo_code=ANNA18596\">50% off when you sign up with our referral code.<\/a><\/li><li>Hello Fresh will give you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellofresh.co.uk\/?c=CG4CQR&amp;utm_source=raf-share&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=clipboard\">\u00a320 off a box with this link<\/a><\/li><li>And MyCookBox will give you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycookbox.co.uk\/register\/index\/?ref=anna5\">\u00a315 off with this link<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Christmas Lunch Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With this in mind we decided to go for a Christmas Lunch box as well this year. We&#8217;ve tried various things for Christmas Lunch over the past few years, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/2009\/multi-bird-roast\/\">expensive high end 5 bird roasts <\/a>through to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/2017\/christmas-with-the-coles\/\">cheap and cheerful frozen joints from Iceland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna decided to order from Hello Fresh this year as it was one less thing to worry about. We have some credit with them thanks to referrals but as this was a one-off special box we couldn&#8217;t use that towards it so had to pay the full \u00a370. Mind you, \u00a370 isn&#8217;t too bad for everything you need for a Christmas Dinner.
