How Pricing & Subscriptions Work

How does Grubby’s pricing work?

Grubby operates on a tier-based volume discount model. The more Meal Kits or Ready Meals you add to your weekly box, the lower your per-meal price becomes.

Can I order both Meal Kits and Ready Meals in the same box?

Yes! You can mix Meal Kits and Ready Meals in a single weekly delivery. You can set a default combination in your account settings or customise your dish selection each week.

How do I set up my default box mix?

Head to your Account Settings to set your baseline quantity for Meal Kits and Ready Meals. Your upcoming deliveries will automatically populate with this selection, but you can still swap individual recipes or ready meals anytime before your weekly cutoff. You can also add ready meals or recipe kits ad hoc on a weekly basis

Box Requirements & Order Limits

What are the minimum order requirements?

Minimum order thresholds depend on the type of box you build:

  • Ready Meals Box: Minimum of 5 Ready Meals

  • Meal Kit Box: Minimum of 2 Meal Kits (applies to both 2-person and 4-person portions)

  • Combination Box: Minimum of 1 Meal Kit AND 3 Ready Meals

What are the maximum limits per box?

  • Ready Meals: Up to 16 Ready Meals per box

  • Meal Kits: Up to 5 Meal Kits per box (2-person or 4-person portions)

  • Combination Box: Maximum of 5 Meal Kits and 16 Ready Meals in a single order

Here's a few highlights:

  • We don't skimp on portion sizes - you'll often have leftovers for lunch.

  • Our our pods are biodegradable.

  • Our tins are mostly organic.

  • Wholefoods - nothing artificial or ultra processed. No preservatives. Just real quality ingredients
