Questions
When does it open?
We're testing the first plans with a small group of families now. Join the waitlist with a free account and we'll send one email when it opens.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your account before your trial ends and you won't be charged. After that, cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep access until the end of the paid period. See the Membership and Refund Policy.
Does it work for allergies or special diets?
Each recipe will list common allergens and swaps, but the plan isn't medical or nutrition advice. If you manage a food allergy or a medical diet, check every label and follow your doctor or dietitian's advice.
Does the plan promise a specific grocery bill?
No. Prices vary a lot by store and region, so we don't promise a dollar amount. The plan is built to keep costs low by reusing ingredients and wasting less.
Will joining add me to marketing emails?
No. Members get an email when each week's plan is ready and emails about their membership. The newsletter is a separate choice.
