Can I buy NutriSystem meals and not be on the NutriSystem Plan? I’ll tell you
The other day, I received an email from someone who wanted to know if they could buy or buy NutriSystem meals separately without having to buy or sign up for the “full plan”. I had some misconceptions about how the NutriSystem works and why they charge you, but food is available individually, weekly, and in a variety of other ways. The plan is very flexible, but you are not charged for the program. I will explain this more in the next article.
It’s Totally Free to “Join” NutriSystem OR Have Access to the Plan: The person who sent me the email was under the impression that I had to buy a monthly package or pay a membership fee to access advice and resources. This is not the case. It’s free to join the program and once you do, you’ll have access to all the benefits. The site is very comprehensive and offers advice, mindset change, food diary, measurement log, food tracker and progress chart, etc. Since you are not paying anything for this, there is no point in not taking advantage of it. I was going to buy the meals individually, so I should have still had all the information and tools to ensure my success.
You can buy NutriSystem meals individually or by the week, by the month, etc.: The company sells the meals without requiring you to purchase a plan. If you calculate the cost per meal, this is more expensive of course (since you’re buying in bulk with a package), but it gives you an idea of what the food tastes like and which one you might like best. . Breakfast and snacks are a couple of dollars. Lunches are generally 2-3 dollars. Dinners are the most expensive. Of the dinners, the “select” line costs more, about $5-$6 each, but these are the “deluxe” or restaurant-quality meals and many of them are worth every penny. However, they are much less expensive when you buy them as part of a bundle.
If you’re trying to save money, look at the NutriSystem Flex line: The person who sent the email was trying to keep their costs down. This was the reason why she wanted to go to individual meals. I told him to take a look at the flexible package. This part-time plan gives you meals for twenty days (instead of the entire month) and only costs about $230 for five meals over twenty days. This is a large amount of food, but by buying in bulk, you are lowering your cost per meal.
The best and cheapest way to buy your food will depend on how many days you will try. If you’re only going to buy enough for a day or two, then an individual or “a la carte” order might make sense, but if you’re going to try this plan for more than a couple of weeks, you should check out some of the generous coupons available. or the flexible plan.
