Pros & Cons

Let’s look at the pros and cons of each brand to see what their biggest advantages and disadvantages are:

Cook it vs WeCook: Pricing & Meal Plans

Pricing is one of the most important factors since food counts for a large part of our weekly budget. With both of these companies, the price per serving comes down with the more meals you order. If you’re looking for the absolute cheapest meal kit in Canada, try Chefs Plate which has meals from $8.99.

Cook it Pricing

Cook it is the name of convenience and delicious food. The cost per meal will depend on the number of recipes and servings you choose to order. Their meals range from $9.08 to $13.16 per serving. 

Cook it offers two food plans: the Regular menu and the Vegetarian meal kit menu. With each plan, customers pick from 17 ready-to-cook meal kits every week (not all are vegetarian). You can select anywhere from 2 to 7 meals per week, and 2 to 4 servings per meal. Each serving is enough to feed one adult or two young children.

Along with the ready-to-cook meals, Cook It also offers about 12 ready-to-eat meals each week. The distinction is that ready-to-cook meal kits have all the pre-measured raw ingredients needed to prepare the meal at home, while ready-to-eat meals have already been prepared and just need to be warmed up. Heating ready-made meals will obviously save you a great deal of time in the kitchen, although many people enjoy cooking and the control it gives them over how much oil and salt they use, and the pleasure of learning new recipes and cuisines.

You can order from 6 to 28 portions of pre-made meals, and the prices get cheaper the more you order. On the regular menu, they start at $12.95 and go up to $14.30 per meal, and on the vegetarian menu, they start at $11.91 and go up to $13.16 per meal. This isn’t much more than the ready-to-cook meal kits, so a great option if this is what you’re after. Most companies average around $16 for ready-to-eat meals, although WeCook is also very reasonable. 

WeCook Pricing

WeCook lets you choose from 14 meals on its menu each week, and you can order from six to 30 portions. You don’t need to pick any specific dietary options, you simply pick your meals for the upcoming week/s. If you’re vegetarian or vegan, the options are limited to just one to two vegetarian recipes each week so won’t be appropriate for you. A unique selling point with WeCook is the ability to choose a small portion of meat (100g) or regular (200g).

All the plans are amazing and time-saving. Going for six meals per week will cost you $13.95 – $14.95, which is ideal for people who want to enjoy at least one healthy meal a day. Their nine-meals-per-week plan costs $12.95 – $13.95 per meal, and 14 meals will cost $12.25 – $13.25 per meal. This option is availed by people who want two nutritious meals daily with proper food portions.

Their biggest meal deals consist of 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 meals per week which all cost $11.25 – $12.25 per meal. This is one of the largest quantities available by any meal kit company. They also sell breakfast items and other food such as snacks, so you could virtually buy all of your weekly food through WeCook. Delivery is free on all plans.

Let’s take a look at some example meals that you would see on each menu. It can be hard to picture them clearly in your mind so you could always try different companies with our promo codes for a few weeks to decide which you prefer.
