Yesterday, I received an email from someone asking how much their monthly payment would be if they signed up for Nutrisystem. After having a dialogue with her, it became clear that she thought a contract with Nutrisystem was required. There isn’t. The price you pay each month will vary depending on the package you choose. And while there is a payment option, it is certainly not a requirement. I will explain this further in the next article.
No contract or commitment is required for Nutrisystem: Some people assume that when you join this diet, you have to make a long-term commitment that is hard to get out of if you change your mind. This is not the case. You can buy by items or meals individually, by the week or by the month. You can go from month to month or you can sign up for automatic delivery. This is not a contract and it really is a feature that is there for your convenience. Basically, with automatic delivery, the company automatically sends you a new order when the last one ends until you cancel this one (which you can do at any time). Basically, when you reach your goal and lose weight, you just stop ordering without any additional commitment.
The monthly price of some popular Nutrisystem packages: Most women’s packs cost the same for a month’s worth of food. Women’s Basic, Silver, Diabetic and Vegetarian packages cost about $ 299 per month if you choose the automatic delivery option. If you don’t select automatic delivery, you will have to pay for your shipping, which makes your monthly costs slightly higher. Men’s packages (including Basic, Diabetic, Silver, and Vegetarian) cost about $ 30 more per month than women’s plans.
The flex package is the cheapest, starting at around $ 230 per month. However, it is important to understand that this large discount is due to the fact that you are getting less food. The select program costs the most because it includes some restaurant-quality frozen foods. It costs about $ 60 more than the basic plan, but many people find the extra cost worth it to get the “select” line of foods.
Of course, all these prices are before using coupons. The company often offers some really good coupons that can take a good amount of money off your order or give you a few weeks of free food. However, these coupons are generally only offered in bundles.
The “Bill Me Later” option that sets lower monthly payments: When I explained some of the Nutrisystem pricing to the woman who emailed me, she said she was sure she saw a monthly billing or payment option on the website. He was probably referring to the “bill me later” option. This is not a contract. Instead, it is a convenience that the company offers to its customers through a third party. I did not use this option, but I understand that you can sign up to make payments for as little as $ 10 per month. I also understand that there is some monthly interest on this and you will have to register with the outside company in order to use this service.
Still, this payment option could be a decent offer for people who want to try this diet and be able to pay gradually or monthly without having to part with a larger sum all at once.
