Since the world has drastically changed due to the coronavirus pandemic, I've cut expenses and stopped monthly subscriptions to save money. But there's one subscription that has been a surprise game changer for me during the last few weeks: HelloFresh.

HelloFresh is a meal kit subscription service that allows people to choose recipes online and have all the ingredients sent to their door the following week. I've subscribed to HelloFresh for a year now, and never has the service been more important to me than right now.

Here's why HelloFresh is giving me peace of mind and helping me through my social distancing.

As my friends complain about not having any access to meat at their grocery stores, the meal kit subscription guarantees three meat-focused meals every week.
