Home delivery everyday meal options? (just turned down EasyMeals)

I just turned down EasyMeal:

Says on the phone: "Just so you know we only call people who have completed an online survey requesting more information."

Yes I did request information on convenient meal offer, half-cooked and home deliverred, so that I can heat them in macrowave and done. But I don't want to pay for it with credit card on the phone (am I correct? it is a dangerous thing to do in China and I asusme so here too), and the marketing company on the phone doesn't want me to do it online, citing the $50 online membership barrier. Their phone offer was really cheap, $80 for a fortnight of delivery, they say it's the 100-meal bulk price and further half-down by free membership. I turned them down anyway on the concern of their integrity.

Such $50 membership is not for profit but marketing purpose; usually there is no real value in the membership. I googled and find liteneasy.com.au their competitor. Problem being they always assume that I want to lose weight - it's an aussie-rooted problem that doesn't apply to us busy new immigrants. (The same in buying milk, it's so difficult to buy non-"low-fat" milk in Aussie - I am rather fit to start with).

Lite'n'easy offer is $105 for 7 days (I chose the biggest 1800-cal option), much more expensive than easymeals phone sales, but maybe this is the price such services should be.

Any advice? If I can't find a 3rd competitor I will buy this lite'n'easy meal later this day, thinking I did my homework. Thanks.

  • In my opinion paying by credit card over the phone is safer than paying by credit card online.

    • Liked their offer, but forgot to mention that I am in Brisbane. Dishd only deliver to Sydney and Melbourne.

    • Muscle Meals do deliver interstate. They're based in NSW. Considering you're in Brisbabe, you'll have to make the order a week in advance, choose one of the designated pick up locations, and pick it up from there on the designated day. You can find a list of pick up locations here:

      I order the 12 meals plan from time to time. Works out to approximately $12.40 per meal.
      If you order the 24 meals plan, it works out to approximately $10.50 a meal.

      Another company that I've always kept on the back of my mind is Just Add Muscle. Have not bought from them before, but their samples @ an expo I went to a while ago were quite decent.
