Current offer
Check the block above, then shop through our link: Tempo.
Step 1: Check the first-month discount
As of September 2026, the site confirms a code applied for 30% off your first month when you follow the right link. Confirm this discount is still active and shown at checkout before signing up.
Step 2: Choose a plan size that matches your actual usage
Meal-kit services typically price per-meal cost lower at higher weekly meal counts. Before committing to a large weekly plan, check the per-meal price at a couple of different plan sizes to see which best matches how many meals you’ll actually eat before they expire.
Step 3: Manage your subscription actively
Subscription meal services usually auto-renew and auto-charge for the next week unless you skip or pause. Checking your account before each billing cycle to skip a week you don’t need avoids paying for meals you won’t use.
Step 4: Apply your discount at signup
- Choose your plan size and meal preferences.
- Confirm the 30% first-month discount is applied at checkout.
- Set a reminder to review your plan before the second month, when the discount ends.
Other ways to save
- Use the 30% first-month discount, as of September 2026, and confirm it applies at checkout.
- Pick a plan size matching your real usage rather than defaulting to the largest option.
- Skip a delivery week when you know you won’t be home or won’t need meals, rather than letting it auto-charge.
- Watch for a referral program, common among meal-kit services, if you know others who might sign up.
Shipping and returns
Check Tempo’s own shipping and subscription terms pages for the current delivery fee, threshold and policy on skipped or cancelled orders — these weren’t shown on the homepage itself.
Alternatives
- HelloFresh: a broader meal-kit service with a wider recipe variety.
- Factor: a fully prepared (not kit-based) meal-delivery service, useful if you want zero cooking rather than a kit.
- Home Chef’s core meal-kit service: Tempo’s own parent brand, worth comparing if you want more traditional recipes rather than Tempo’s protein-focused format.
