F.A.Q

Are they any good?

Yes – Operating since 2016. We prepare over 1,500 meals locally each week. It’s great or we will replace it free.

Why should I order meals?

Because you are busy.

Sometimes, it’s just hard to find the time to cook. Having a healthy prepared meal helps to reduce stress and gives you time back with your family.

To Save Money 

The meals are great for dinner, and at that price they save you money. But do you buy lunch at work? A family of 4 has 28 lunches and 28 dinners per week so there is quite a lot of money to be saved.

To Eat Healthier

It’s easy to get distracted by unhealthy food when there are no healthy options in the fridge ready to go. We deliver every week so that you have healthy food whenever you need it.

Why are they so cheap?

We believe healthy nutritious meals should be affordable for everyone.
We have special relationships with local businesses and as it’s a social enterprise, it keeps costs low. You are supporting local businesses and helping our charity programs at the same time.

Are they as good as other meal services?

Yes

We have tried many of them, and ours are as good as, or better than other services selling for twice the price. The variety is great, it’s cooked by chefs and sourced from local ingredients.

How do I get a membership number?

When you purchase any of the $3 Meal Deal or UrMeals offers, we will email you a welcome letter which includes your member number. As this is done manually, please allow up to 24 hours for a response.

Can I place an order without a member number?

Yes, just write ‘paid’ if you’ve made a purchase, or ‘not paid yet’ in the member number field if you haven’t yet made a purchase. Please make a payment first whenever possible.

How much will it cost to have 14, 21 etc. meals delivered if further than 20km?

To calculate the cost of delivery just do the following:

  2. Multiply the cost of the UrMeals Package you want by the total distance and the number of meals you require

Example: Jane wants to order 14 Portion Controlled meals for her family and she lives 35km away from the Railway Ave, Laverton site.

Distance = 35km = $70 for 7 meals from the Portion Controlled series

Number of meals = 14 or two Portion Controlled packs

Therefore – $70 x 2 = $140 for 14 Portion Controlled meals delivered to Jane’s home
