The money part

How paying for a food order works.

Feeding a family is a large number if you look at it all at once. Nobody pays it that way, so here’s how it actually works.

It starts from what you already spend

Before anything is priced, your Food Planner asks what you currently spend on groceries. The order is built to that number.

The food is meant to replace part of your grocery bill, not sit on top of it. The aim is a better quality of food within your existing grocery budget. If a plan only works by finding money you don’t have, it’s the wrong plan and we’ll say so.

Then you choose how it comes out

Same order, same total. You pick the rhythm that matches how you get paid.

WeeklyLines up with a weekly pay or a weekly grocery shop.
Bi-weeklyMatches a pay cheque every two weeks.
MonthlyOne payment, on a date you pick.

Or pay in full and take the discount. Your Food Planner will tell you what that saves on your order.

Payment plans come through our financing partners, and we finance some orders in-house. Some families qualify for 0% financing. All of it is on approved credit, so not everyone will qualify.

Real orders on our books work out to between $29.28 and $158.45 a week. You can see every item on five of them.

36 months

Your price doesn’t move

From the day you sign, your unit prices are locked for 36 months. Re-order inside those 36 months and you pay the prices you agreed to, even if food costs us more by then.

It’s written on your signed order, not just on this page.

Nothing is charged before you sign. The consult is free, the plan is free and the quote is free. No payment information is needed to get a price, and the quote is good for 14 days while you think about it.

Signing happens online. When you’re ready, your paperwork comes to you to sign electronically. If your payments come out of your bank account, we ask for a void cheque. If you pay by card, you fill in the card authorization form.

Common questions

Do I have to finance it?

No. You can pay in full, and there’s a discount for doing so. Payment plans are there for families who would rather spread the cost over the same stretch they’re eating the food.

What if my credit isn’t perfect?

Ask anyway. We work with more than one financing partner, and we do some financing in-house, so there’s more than one way an application can be looked at. Not everyone will qualify. Your Food Planner will tell you what your options are without you having to guess.

What does the 36-month price lock actually cover?

Your unit prices, for 36 months from the day you sign. Re-order in that time and you pay the prices you agreed to, even if food costs have gone up. It’s written on the signed order.

Do I need to give payment details to get a quote?

No. A quote needs to know how your family eats and what you spend. Payment details only come up after you’ve decided to go ahead.

Is HST included in what I am quoted?

Yes. Where HST applies it’s already inside the price you’re quoted, and your order shows how much of it is tax. A freezer, if you add one, shows its HST beside it. The weekly, bi-weekly or monthly number you see is the number that comes out.
