Once you hit a certain age, somewhere between 50 or 60, you become eligible for senior discounts offered by a variety of establishments. The discount can come in several different forms, such as a reduced rate for certain products and services, or a specified percentage off an entire purchase. Krispy Kreme offers a 10% discount to qualifying senior citizens with a sweet tooth at select stores, whereas grocery chains like Costco do not offer a senior discount. For seniors who prefer a home-cooked meal, the meal delivery service HelloFresh makes the cooking process easy and offers an enticing discount.
HelloFresh offers people who are 60 years old or older free, ready-made meals for life, as well as a one-time, 50% discount for subscribers with an auto-renewing subscription. This discount is based on the cost of a 4-person, 5-recipe plan; those who purchase larger or smaller plans will receive a higher or lower discount depending on the plan (the discount expires 21 days after claiming the offer, so don’t wait too long to order the first box). The fine print reads that the free ready-made meal offer includes one free meal per box with an active subscription. Once the subscription is active, the user will have access to several meal options that accommodate all different types of diets, including vegetarian, pescatarian, and vegan.
However, the delivery service does not include cooked meals. Instead, it delivers pre-measured ingredients for the selected meals in order to make the cooking process less of a hassle. The service can help seniors cut down on the strenuous work it takes to decide what to buy at the grocery store and prepare each ingredient. With HelloFresh, seniors will be able to cook a meal at home in 30 minutes or less with a fraction of the effort.
How does HelloFresh for seniors work?
HelloFresh subscriptions work the same for seniors as they do for its other customers. The meal kits will be delivered on the chosen delivery date and stay fresh for the entire day due to their insulated packaging and gel packs. The discount is offered to seniors throughout the United States. Wondering what type of meals are included in the offer? HelloFresh offers different meals that will please even the pickiest of eaters. Example meals include mozzarella and herb chicken with potatoes and couscous, meatballs and creamy onion gravy with mashed potatoes and peas, and a vegan Turkish-spiced chickpea bowl with pistachio rice and creamy hummus sauce.
If you are interested in trying HelloFresh, but do not yet qualify for the senior discount, you are in luck as the company offers different discounts for new subscribers. In fact, the same discount is available while supplies last for those who have never tried the delivery service before. However, for both new subscribers and those utilizing the senior discount, the details in the offer state that it cannot be combined with gift cards — which the food subscription can be purchased at Costco — or other promotions. The company may also change the deal at any time.
Those outside of the United States may be eligible for HelloFresh’s senior discount, as the company also operates in Australia, Canada, and throughout Europe. For example, in Australia, the company currently offers 10% off every box for seniors.
