In a nutshell
Yumm is a 1 year old food subscription box brand that was launched by their parent company GoodFood. Yumm food delivery provides affordable meal kits for as low as $6.99 per serving. Fresh ingredients will be delivered weekly, along with recipe cards. You can cancel your subscription anytime. Delivery is available in most parts of Canada. However, you might not like the lack of variety in their menu, especially for those with special diet needs. They also do not accommodate a request from people with serious allergies.
What is Yumm?
Probably the most affordable meal kit option in Canada. Yumm is the smaller child of GoodFood with less recipes, less meals and lower price. Yumm offers ready-to-cook food options to budget-strapped Canadians. For as low as $6.99 per serving, you can enjoy a delicious meal in the comfort of your home. No more need to go to the grocery store to shop for fresh ingredients! You don’t have to spend a lot on a meal at a restaurant. You don’t have to settle with unhealthy fast-food either.
Yumm has a simple business model with an innovative value proposition. All that you have to do is to choose your desired plan and wait for the ingredients to be delivered in your address. Once ready, you can cook meals in 15 seconds. This is the closest you can ever be to being a gourmet chef.
How Does Yumm Work?
One thing that makes Yumm delivery exceptional is its simplicity. If you haven’t created an account yet, the first thing you need to do is to make one through their website. Once done, you are all good to go. Create your Yumm basket by choosing the serving sizes. You can choose two or four. Once your order is completed, wait for the delivery, you will receive three recipes weekly.
After placing your initial order, it will automatically renew. However, this does not mean that you have to remain committed. There is no minimum commitment required! Meaning, you can opt-out anytime you want. If you are unhappy with your first week’s order, you can cancel anytime without any penalty, as long as you do it before the cutoff or the delivery schedule. If you do not cancel, deliveries will proceed weekly as scheduled.
However, unlike leading meal kit providers in Canada, Yumm lacks a selection for people who have dietary restrictions. It would have been better if they are offering a selection of keto, paleo, vegan, or vegetarian meals, among others. Yumm seems to be mass-marketed instead of catering to several niches.
How Does Yumm Work in Canada?
Currently, Yumm delivers in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, Manitoba, British Columbia, the Maritimes, and Saskatchewan. In the future, they plan to launch in more cities, so watch out! They might be coming near you if you aren’t from the areas mentioned.
Yumm delivers daily straight to your house. Delivery fee is $4.99 in most areas. If you are not there during the time of the delivery, they can leave the package at the door. No need to worry about the possibility that the food will spoil. It is packed in insulated boxes and they come with ice, so you can be guaranteed of its freshness until you arrive.
Below are some of the main cities where Yumm is currently available:
I have been a YUMM subscriber for about 7 or 8 months now and have found it has gone down hill since July 2020. First started that they wouldnt put my recipe cards in the box, then the ingredients were not as fresh and started going bad only 24 – 48 hours after receiving the box. The final straw for me though was on Aug 28 when they shipped me GREEN rancid chicken! Their excuse for these flaws is “We have new employees”. I cancelled my subscription and DONT recommend this to anyone!
