I took a break from my HelloFresh subscription in the spring with a hope to do more cooking on my own, but... It's really hard to make the time to figure out a meal and gather ingredients. Avoiding the burden of planning, shopping, and having misc. leftover ingredients around really is fantastic.

I'm sure that each of these pain points can be mitigated by skills that can be built up, but the barrier to entry is too high for me to hurdle with limited time and mental bandwidth. Might just go back to a subscription service as the actual cooking and eating are fun!
