As lockdown continues and with nowhere really to go and not a lot to do, food for many of us has become the biggest highlight of the day. All you have to do is cast your mind back to lockdown 1.0 when everyone became budding bakers and banana bread was the biggest trend.
But if you’re bored of the banana bread and need something else to tantalise your taste buds, check out some of the great food discounts below. From takeaways and meal kits, there’s something for everyone.
1. HelloFresh

If you’re tired of cooking up the same old meals, HelloFresh is a great option to mix up your weekly menu. With a choice of 36 meals choose from, all with simple step-by-step recipes and pre-portioned ingredients, cooking up a storm in the kitchen couldn’t be easier.
Simply select your meal options (you can choose between 3-5 meals per week), and the week’s meals and all the ingredients will be delivered straight to your door.
What’s more, as a student, you can receive 10% off every subscription box with UNiDAYS. It’s also worth noting that as a first-time customer, you can benefit from discounts too such as 50% off your 1st box and 20% off the next 3. Find out more at hellofresh.co.uk.
2. Gousto

A similar concept to HelloFresh, Gousto is another meal-kit company delivering fresh recipes and ingredients direct to your door. From vegetarian or meat options, to 10-minute meals and everyday favourites, there’s over 50 delicious recipes to choose from every week.
Gousto boxes are available for 2-4 people and you can choose 2-4 recipes per box, with prices starting at £2.98 per serving. However, if you’re a first-time customer, you can take advantage of their latest discounts such as 30% off all boxes in your first month; making it much more affordable.
