Discount codes

Questions about meal box discount codes

Do these discount codes work for existing customers?

No. Every offer on this page is for new customers, usually once per household and once per delivery address. Existing customers have two routes: the refer-a-friend credit most services pay when a friend signs up (Gousto, HelloFresh, Mindful Chef, Riverford, Oddbox and Frive all run one), and loyalty schemes such as HelloFresh Rewards or COOK's Subscribe & Save. Cancelling and re-joining with a new email address is against every provider's terms.

Can I combine a code with another offer?

Not with the services we list. Each basket takes one promotion, and the introductory discount counts as one. Student, key-worker and Blue Light Card tiers replace the standard offer rather than stack on top of it; pick the one with the larger saving.

Why is the discount spread over several boxes?

Because the service wants you to stay past the first delivery. Gousto, Green Chef, Mindful Chef, Grubby and Pasta Evangelists all put part of the saving on boxes two to eight. That makes the total saving bigger than the first-box headline, but only if you keep the subscription for those weeks. Skipping a week usually does not cost you the later discounts; cancelling does.

A code did not work. What now?

Three usual causes: the code was for new customers and the email or address has ordered before, the offer has changed since the voucher site copied it, or the code was personal (a referral or an influencer code) and has hit its limit. Try the provider's own link without a code first, since most offers are applied automatically. If an offer on this page is wrong, email us and we will check it again.

Is the offer price what I keep paying?

No, and that is the part to look at before you order. Every discount page here shows the normal price under the offer. A half-price first box at Gousto is £16.13 for 3 recipes for 2 people; from the ninth box you pay £32.25 plus £3.99 delivery. If the normal price does not fit your weekly budget, the discount only delays the decision.
