We buy Fresh Start 20 every week and it has been a lifesaver. My husband and I are both very busy with work, three children and Scout activities. However, we want to cook and eat healthy lunches and dinners and Fresh Start 20 works very well for this. We cook, have dinner - offer it to the children but have back up options in case they are fussy (tuna spaghetti, rice, toasted sandwiches etc), then have the leftovers for our lunch at work. Surprisingly, the kids (aged 3, 8 and 13) do try quite a few of the meals - even though the meals are vege and healthy foods heavy, and low carb (which we love!). This means that my children a trying a much greater variety of foods than we had before with our standard 'family friendly' meals. Although the cost seemed high at first, I did a comparison with Countdown's online shopping for the same ingredients and it wasn't much less to buy them ourselves. Personally, I HATE supermarket shopping, so having all the thought around meals planning and shopping taken care of is worth several hours of my time that I can now spend on other things. Plus, I think we save a bit by not buying all the unplanned for items (chocolate biscuits etc!) that seem to sneak in to the supermarket trolley. Finally, I find Fresh Start meals time guide to be very accurate - most meals take about 30 minutes (less when I have my 13-year-old help me - and he is learning to cook through the process) - which is less than it would take to order an pick up takeaways. Some changes I would like is at least one vegetarian meal per week and even more work on reducing plastic containers - but overall I am very happy with this service and would recommend it to anyone with a similar number of people in their family.
