How to Cancel Hungryroot in 2026 — Stop the $70/Week Healthy Grocery Box
Last updated: February 2026 • Difficulty: Easy
⚠️ The "healthy" markup: Hungryroot charges $70-120/week for groceries + meal suggestions. The "AI-personalized" quiz recommends products from their limited inventory — it's not magic, it's a curated grocery store with a 50-100% markup. Trader Joe's and Aldi have the same healthy staples at half the price.
Hungryroot Pricing
- Small plan (2 people, 3 recipes): ~$70/week ($9.99/serving)
- Medium plan (2 people, 4 recipes + snacks): ~$90-100/week
- Large plan (4 people, 5 recipes + snacks): ~$120-150/week
- Annual cost: $3,640-7,800/year depending on plan size
- Shipping: Free on orders over $70 (which is the minimum plan anyway)
How to Cancel
- Log in to hungryroot.com
- Click your name → Account Settings
- Scroll down to Plan Settings
- Click Cancel Plan
- Go through the retention flow (they'll offer discounts and pauses)
- ⚠️ Cancel before your weekly order deadline (check "My Deliveries" for cutoff date)
- Confirmation email will include last delivery date
💡 Skip weeks first: Not sure about canceling? You can skip unlimited weeks. Go to My Deliveries → Skip. If you skip 3-4 weeks in a row and don't miss it, cancel for good.
Retention Tactics They Use
- $20-30 off next order: Standard first offer — a one-time discount that disappears
- "Pause instead?": They'll offer to pause for 1-4 weeks
- "Smaller plan?": They'll suggest downgrading — still overpriced at any tier
- "Update your preferences": Implies the problem is your choices, not their pricing
Alternatives That Actually Save Money
- Trader Joe's: Same "healthy convenience" products at 40-60% less — frozen meals, pre-made salads, organic staples
- Aldi: Organic produce and pantry staples at the lowest prices in the US
- Meal planning + grocery list: Spend 20 minutes on Sunday planning meals, buy at any store — save $2,000+/year
- Budget Bytes (free site): Healthy recipes with per-serving cost breakdowns — usually $2-4/serving
- Costco: Bulk healthy staples (chicken, rice, frozen veggies, nuts) at wholesale prices
The Math
Hungryroot small plan: $70/week = $3,640/year. The same meals from Trader Joe's: ~$40/week = $2,080/year. Meal prepping with Aldi/Costco ingredients: ~$25/week = $1,300/year. Hungryroot's "convenience" costs you $1,560-2,340 extra per year — that's a vacation, not groceries.
