How it works
Shop
One list for the whole week, sorted by store and aisle. Tick things off as you go. It works with no signal, and on two phones at once.
Cook
Cook along step by step, with every amount right in the step and timers built in. The safe temperature for every meat, fish and egg dish is written into the recipe.
Save
See about what the sales saved you this week, this month and since you joined.
Plan one dinner or all seven. Your call.
Cook once a week or every night. Skip a week anytime. Nothing to keep up with.
Parents spend about 37 minutes a day deciding what's for dinner and writing the list, before any cooking.
From a July 2026 Talker Research survey of 2,000 US parents, paid for by a meal-kit company.
The price, plainly
14 days free.
$8 a month
Founding families, the first 1,000, pay $8 a month for as long as they stay. After that, $12 a month.
On the web you can also pay yearly: $80 a year, two months free.
- Nothing is charged for 14 days. We'll remind you two days before. Cancel in two taps.
- The free days start when you add a card, and the reminder comes with the price.
- On the web, ask within 30 days of your first charge for a full refund. A yearly plan canceled later gets its unused months back.
- Bought on an iPhone? Apple bills it, and Apple handles refunds.

Why I built Honest Dinner
When I turned 40, I had to cut way back on salt for my heart. I'd never cooked that way, and I was cutting calories at the same time. And at our house, dinner was already a fight: What are we eating? Who's cooking? Too often, the answer was fast food.
I've always loved a good flyer and a good sale. So I started planning our dinners around what was on sale, made the shopping list from it, and learned to cook, one recipe at a time. It worked. Within a week, the pickiest, most skeptical person in our house was on board, and dinner stopped being a fight.
Honest Dinner is that, made simple for every family: this week's deals, dinners your family actually wants, a list in store order, and help at the stove when you need it.
I'm a veteran and a father of two on Long Island, and I cook for my family with Honest Dinner. I built it for us first. I hope it makes dinner easier at yours.

Questions
Which stores does it work with?
Any store with a weekly sale. Some stores' deals come in on their own every week. For any other store, snap the paper flyer or upload its PDF, and if a neighbor already snapped this week's, it may be ready for you.
What about allergies?
Tell us everyone's allergies and every dinner is checked against them by our own code before you see it. We can't see inside a package, so read the label every time.
Do I have to cook every night?
No. Plan one dinner or all seven, any week. On a web plan you can also skip 1 to 4 weeks of charges, and it picks up again on its own.
I have an Android phone.
Start in your phone's browser today and add Honest Dinner to your home screen; it works like an app. A Google Play app is on the way, expected in December, and your family comes with you when it's here.
How do I cancel?
On the web, two taps in the app: Your family, then Cancel plan. A plan bought on an iPhone is canceled in your iPhone's Settings: tap your name, then Subscriptions. Apple handles refunds for iPhone plans.
