Questions about meal plan requests
Is it really free?
Yes. There's no charge and nothing to buy. The Meals Deal doesn't sell groceries, meal kits or subscriptions. The website may show ads to help cover costs.
How much will I save?
We can't promise a specific amount. Grocery prices vary by store, region and season, and savings depend on what you currently spend. The plan is designed around affordable staples and shared ingredients to help you shop efficiently.
How will you use my information?
Only to create and email your meal plan and answer any follow-up questions. We don't sell or share your personal information, add you to a mailing list or use it for advertising. Requests are deleted within 12 months, or sooner if you ask. See our Privacy Notice.
Is this nutrition or medical advice?
No. Plans are general meal suggestions using our published recipes. For medical diets or specific nutritional needs, please consult a doctor or registered dietitian. See our disclaimer.
