How much is the Monthly Payment in Nutrisystem?

Yesterday I received an email from someone asking how much their monthly payment would be if they signed up for Nutrisystem. After talking with her, it became clear that she thought a contract with Nutrisystem was required. There is no The price you pay each month will vary depending on the package you choose. And while there is a payment option, it’s certainly not a requirement. I will explain this more in the next article.

No contract or commitment 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 shop 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 is really a feature that is there for convenience. Basically, with automatic delivery, the company automatically sends you a new order when the last one is finished until you cancel it (which you can do at any time). Basically, when you reach your goal and lose weight, you just stop ordering without any further commitment.

The monthly price of some popular Nutrisystem packages: Most women’s packages are the same cost for a month’s worth of food. Women’s Basic, Silver, Diabetic and Vegetarian packages are around $299 per month if you choose the auto-delivery option. If you don’t select automatic delivery, you’ll have to pay for shipping, which makes your monthly costs a bit higher. Men’s packages (which include Basic, Diabetic, Silver, and Vegetarian) are about $30 more per month than women’s plans.

The flexible 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 get less food. The select program costs more because it includes restaurant-quality frozen food. It costs about $60 more than the basic plan, but many people find that the extra cost is worth it to get the “select” line of groceries.

Of course, all of these prices are before using coupons. The company often offers some very 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 usually only offered on bundles.

The “Bill Me Later” option that establishes lower monthly payments: When I explained some of Nutrisystem’s pricing to the woman who emailed me, she told me that she was sure she saw a payment or monthly billing option on the website. She was probably referring to the “bill me later” option. This is not a contract. Instead, it is a convenience that the company offers its customers through a third party. I haven’t used this option, but I understand you can sign up for payments for as little as $10 per month. I also understand that there is some monthly interest with this and you will need to register with the third party company to use this service.

Still, this payment option could be a decent deal 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.
