How to use the meal kit price comparison tool

1. Set Your Household Size

Choose between portions for 2 people (couples), 4 people (families), or 6 people (large families). If you’re cooking for one, select the 2-person option. You’ll get leftovers for lunch the next day. Most meal kit services don’t offer single portions, but the 2-person option works great for singles who enjoy having planned leftovers.

2. Choose Your Meals Per Week

Decide how many different meals you want delivered each week. More meals generally means better value per serving, but start with what feels manageable for your schedule. The sweet spot for most households is 4-5 meals per week, leaving room for takeaway nights or family dinners out. You can always adjust your plan up or down after you’ve started.

3. Select Your State

Pick your location to see which services deliver to you. Some meal kit companies don’t deliver everywhere in Australia, so this helps avoid disappointment.

Delivery zones can vary even within states, particularly in regional areas, so even if the service delivers to your state it’s worth checking on their website to see if they deliver to your postcode.

4. Compare Different Views

The Table View gives you a detailed breakdown of each service’s pricing structure. You’ll see exactly how much you’re paying per portion, any delivery fees, and the total weekly cost. It’s perfect for those who like to analyze all the details.

The Graph View provides a quick visual comparison. This view makes it instantly clear which service offers the best overall value, with colorful bars showing the total weekly costs side by side.

5. Understanding the Results

When comparing prices, consider these key factors:

The tool updates automatically as you adjust these options, so feel free to experiment with different combinations to find your ideal meal kit plan. Take your time to explore different selections. You might find that adding or removing a meal makes a big difference to the overall value.

Quick tips for getting the best value

You might also want some great tips on how to make the most of meal kits. Here are three of my favourite pieces of advice for getting the best value:

Save with Larger Portions

Ordering larger portion sizes (4 or 6 people) often provides better value per serving. Even if you’re cooking for fewer people, you can cook all portions at once and save leftovers for the next day. This strategy works particularly well for meals like stews, curries, and meat dishes.

Become a Meal Kit Switcher

You can save up to $1,500 per year by rotating between different meal kit services. Each service offers significant discounts for new customers, so switching between providers helps you maximize these savings. Check out our detailed guide on the Meal Kit Method to learn more about this money-saving strategy.

Time Your Orders Strategically

Keep an eye out for incentive emails from services you’ve previously used. Many companies send special “win-back” offers to existing customers who have paused their subscription. These deals can provide significant savings when you restart your subscription.
