A leaflet came through the door today and it looked quite appealing. The concept seems to be Cook meets Abel & Cole (the leaflet could have been mistaken for either) - you choose one of their recipes online, then they deliver a box of all the ingredients you need to make it (organic, of course). They claim the cost is on a par with supermarket ready meals. Has anyone tried it? I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences.

I ordered via an offer with KGB deals. It was fab - everything was fresh and they provided every ingredient down to 3 garlic cloves. It was also exciting opening the box - like a big present. The recipe instruction cards are clear so you can't go wrong and can keep to replicate the meals. They are a little expensive to order normally but I would definitely order again if the offer reappears!
Sounds similar to Hello Fresh, which I've used in the past when I had a week at home alone. All ingredients and recipe cards included, ingredients were fresh and meals easy to put together. Not expensive for what it is, and I had a voucher code which cut the price by 50%.
We tried them awhile back and really enjoyed trying recipes that didnt normally cook and helped with cooking too much food as it is all portioned. Their recipe for the butter beans side that came with their pork loin recipe I do a few times a month with various fish and meat dishes. Found gousto much better than the Able and Cole recipes they recently started doing and like the fact you have a couple of choices to pick from each week.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
