If you want to shake up mealtimes without the stress of meal planning, a Gousto recipe box could be just the thing. In fact, Gousto was rated best for families in our guide to the best recipe boxes, thanks to the meals being “super easy to prepare, nutritious and, frankly, a lifesaver after a busy day”, according to our reviewer. To get you started for less, we’ve pulled together the best Gousto discount codes, including an exclusive 50 per cent off your first box, plus additional savings.

How to save on Gousto meal boxes

We work closely with Gousto to bring you exclusive codes that help you save even more on your meal boxes.

If you fancy giving it a try, our exclusive discount code above will give you 50 per cent off your first box, 40 per cent off your second and 20 per cent off all remaining boxes for two months.

Gousto first order discount

If you’ve never ordered a meal box from Gousto before, you may be eligible for even more savings on your first order. The exact discount for new customers changes from week to week, but it’s normally 50 or 60 per cent off your first box, 40 per cent off your second box and then 20 per cent off for another two months.

Although the new customer discount covers you for months of savings, you don’t have to commit to a subscription for that long. In fact, it’s completely flexible and you can skip or cancel a box at any time.

Your questions about Gousto boxes answered

How do Gousto boxes work?

For the uninitiated, it’s a fairly simple principle. Gousto is a subscription-based service that enables you to receive two, three or four meals per week, chosen from a list of more than 75 recipes that change weekly. Spanning a range of different cuisines and options for most dietary requirements, including vegan-friendly and gluten-free meal kits, there’s something for everyone.

One of the many perks of the recipe box subscription service is fresh, pre-portioned ingredients straight to your door, minimising food waste (and saving you from digging out the measuring scales). Many of the recipes take as little as 10 minutes to prepare, so even if you’re short on time, you can still enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal.

How much does Gousto cost?

The price of a Gousto meal box varies, depending on how many meals and how many people you’re feeding. Prices start from £18.99 and can reach as high as £60, plus a £3.99 delivery fee.

The cost is worked out on a per-portion basis. Generally, the bigger the box, the cheaper the price per portion. For a better idea of how much a box might cost, you can use the box price calculator from Gousto.

How does value for money compare with other recipe boxes?

This depends on whether there are any offers currently available, as well as exactly what you value in a recipe box. For instance, are organic or seasonal ingredients important to you? Prices per portion may also vary slightly depending on how many portions and recipes you’re adding, so keep this in mind when comparing prices.

You'll want to factor in whether you’ll need to buy any extra ingredients for your meals, too. Take, for example, SimplyCook. While it may be cheaper for your first box, containing four recipes for two people, priced at just £3 (and £9.99 thereafter), you will need to buy some extra ingredients yourself.

The plant-based range will have your taste buds tingling (Gousto)

What can I expect from the Gousto menu?

With Gousto, you get to pick from a new list of recipes each week, covering everything from classic comfort food to adventurous global dishes.

If you’re after a quick yet flavoursome meal, the king prawn, garlic and chilli linguine is a must-try. Ready in just 20 minutes, this dish combines juicy king prawns with a rich, garlicky tomato sauce and a kick of chilli. It’s one of Gousto’s many speedy recipes, proving that midweek meals don’t have to be boring (or time-consuming).

For a plant-based meal that doesn’t skimp on flavour, there are plenty of recipes to choose from. The hoisin mushroom wraps sound like a winner. Ready in just 30 minutes, the dish promises to be rich in flavour. With supermarkets low on plant-based meal inspiration, you can build up your recipe collection for a fraction of the price – just use the discount code above to save 50 per cent and enjoy ongoing savings.
