Ordered meals for my father who is a pensioner under the guys of a special offer of $50 per week for four meals. Tunes out the way it was communicated was not what I thought we were sorting up for and after a week price went up to the normal $90 for four meals.
These were basic things like lasagne rice risotto a chicken pie and roast lamb. The meals were average. Nothing special nothing any better than the supermarket varieties and they work out at $18 a meal absolutely a rip off especially for a pensioner. Cancelled subscription but still took $90 off my card for the last meals that we don't want because it's not worth the money and it's left the bank account empty. COMPLETE RIP OFF !!!!!!! I saw the roast lamb meal. It just looked like any other little frozen meal. Don't waste your money. The fact that the bank account is empty and the money is needed for more important things is extremely gutting.
Box delivered to the wrong address,
The delivery driver was telling me to go find it myself as he cant.
No box, no food, was told that I would get a refund. Still no refund.
The driver could contact me to tell me to go find my food box, but couldn't contact me to make sure he delivered to the right address?
Hands down the worst service ever.
Do not recommend this on anyone.
Having a couple of nights where I do not cook, eat takeaways or dine out is proving less of a novelty and more of a pleasure. It also allows my husband to show off his culinary skills (haha)
Great tobbe able to answer the question "what's for dinner?" Without thinking. A good variety of choices, especially as we order the gluten free box. The only downside side is the delivery is on a Saturday & we dont use the food until Tuesday. So keeping veggies fresh is challenging.
I've had my food bag again after 4 year break and the quality is still as great as ever. I travel in a motorhome and the ready meals for one are just perfect for me. I eat well. The best option as I do not like cooking.

Awful quality control—4 complaints in 5 weeks. Unusable and unsafe food.
We are 5 weeks into our My Food Bag journey, and it has been an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience. The recipes themselves sound tasty, but the ingredient quality is shockingly sub-par. Out of the five weeks we've received boxes, we have had to lodge formal complaints for four of them due to food arriving spoiled, damaged, or completely unusable.
We haven't just had a bit of bruised produce—we have received rotting eggs, spinach ruined by wet rot, and chicken that had a terrible smell right out of the pack. Even the meat quality has been poor, with beef mince that was full of silver skin, fat, and gristle. This week was the final straw when our herbs arrived wet and brown, the sprouts were mushy, and the slaw mix literally smelled like rotting cabbage.
Having to supplement a premium meal kit service with emergency trips to the supermarket completely defeats the purpose of paying for a food bag. They are quick to give credits when you complain, but I would much rather just receive fresh, safe, and usable food the first time around. We wanted to love this service, but 4 weeks of failures out of 5 is unacceptable. Avoid.

Terrible. Tried to change my address, five days out from a delivery but was not able to. This meant they still charged me - yet the food got sent to my old address which I don't have access to. When I tried to escalate complaint- they said it wouldn't change the outcome and said I could just leave a review. So disappointing.

The photos of each Ready Made Meals should show what they actually look like inside the tray, not fancy meals on a plate. The majority of the meals taste great; only a few are too salty for my liking. Also, it would be better if they were more consistent in the amount of meat and portion size across all meals. I find some fill me up (e.g, Satay Chicken), but others still leave me hungry (e.g, Creamy Mushroom Chicken). Finally, the delivery person never followed the instructions. Asked to leave the boxes at the front door, but for the last 4 weeks, I found them at the back.

Nowhere near as good as it used to be. Lucky for them it's outrageously convenient for lazy people, like me, who don't want to go shopping. Meals are boring and all taste the same.

Two times received chicken that was very smelly, there reply was that’s normal and leave it for ten minutes and the smell will go away, as I said to them every other chicken supplied to us didn’t have a smell to it , they wouldn’t take responsibility for it so I cancelled my account

I had a prepared meal last night, the beef pie, it was good but my favourite is still the chicken and veg pie.

Misleading with cancellation policy, unhelpful when cancelling and poor with communications.

We signed up to My Food Bag under an advertised Autumn Sale promotion, which showed 50% off the first delivery, followed by 30%, 20%, and 10% off later deliveries.
After signing up, My Food Bag removed the promotion and charged the full standard price of $229.99 instead of the promotional price of $115.00. Their position is that the account was not eligible for the promotion, which may be their view, but our concern is that the order was started at one advertised price and then proceeded at a materially different price.
We raised this with their support team before the box had been supplied and requested either the promotional price be honoured or the delivery be cancelled and refunded. My Food Bag refused both options and relied on their terms and cut-off times.
Very disappointing experience. In my opinion, the pricing and promotion process was not clear enough, and I would be very cautious when signing up under any promotional offer.

Great service. The prepared frozen meals have generous portions and good variety. They are very tasty and I would definitely recommend this service.

Meal never got dropped off now have to wait a whole week for another
Reply from My Food Bag
The food is nice, healthy and easy to heat. The deliveries were mostly terrible. My box was dropped at odd spots on my section a few times, didn't turn up another time. Convenience and being time poor is one of my motivators - a big one.

The food bag system sends NO notifications that it's about to automatically charge for upcoming deliveries. Then when it has charged without any prior notice it doesn't allow any time frame for canceling your order. They do this on purpose so people forget to make changes beforehand. They make a lot of money this way.
When I contacted them about this problem they did not want to comment on the lack of giving proper notifications.

I really enjoy the meals & ease of ordering.
I’d like to see more Vegetarian options as there’s often only 1 or 2 to choose from.
Thank You = )))))))))))
