Choose Hungryroot if

You want a week of groceries and simple recipes picked for you, for two or four, with breakfasts, lunches and snacks in the same delivery.

Look elsewhere if

You want a box price before you sign up (Dinnerly, Marley Spoon and Tempo publish theirs), to order once without a subscription (Blue Apron, CookUnity), or only meals to heat (Factor, Tempo).

Check before you order

Hungryroot shows your plan’s price only after you sign up: it depends on how many people you feed and what you pick each week, and bigger plans cost less a serving. Every change, skip, pause or cancellation must be made before your shopping window closes, when your card is charged; your account shows the day.

How much Hungryroot costs

Hungryroot prices your plan by the people you feed and what you pick each week. On bigger plans a serving costs as little as $3.99 for breakfast, $5.99 for lunch and $8.99 for dinner. Shipping is $6.99 on an order under $70 and free from $70.

The first-box deal is a separate, lower number that applies only at the start. Work out your own cart after the deal.

How Hungryroot works

A weekly grocery subscription: groceries and simple recipes for 2 or 4 servings, picked for you from your Food Profile and editable before your shopping window closes, with single-serving prepared options such as soups and heat-and-eat meals.

There is no box price before you sign up: the plan is priced by the people it feeds and what is picked each week. There is no one-time order, and every change closes with the shopping window, when the card is charged.

Groceries and recipes: Recipes serve 2 or 4 and the number of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and sweets is yours to set, so there is no fixed box to match.

Prepared options: Single-serving salad kits, soups and heat-and-eat meals are items in the same weekly cart, not a separate plan with box sizes.

What each kind of preparation asks of your kitchen.

Hungryroot labels vegetarian, plant-based / vegan, pescatarian choices on its menu. Food Profile filters and labels are not an allergen or medical guarantee; some items are made where allergens are processed.
