Stacking Tips

Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at FreshDirect.

1

New Customer Offer + DeliveryPass Trial

Sign up as a new FreshDirect customer + Apply the first-order discount or free delivery offer + Start a DeliveryPass free trial to eliminate delivery fees

Combining a first-order promotional discount with a DeliveryPass trial waives both the order discount and delivery fee on your initial purchase.

2

Weekly Deals + DeliveryPass

Subscribe to DeliveryPass for $0 delivery fees + Plan your weekly grocery order around the Wednesday deal refresh + Build orders around featured deals to maximize savings

DeliveryPass members who shop during weekly deal windows get the combined benefit of no delivery fee and markdown pricing on featured fresh items.

3

Holiday Pre-Order + Email Code

Sign up for FreshDirect emails ahead of a holiday + Watch for a promotional code sent to subscribers + Apply the code to a holiday meal bundle pre-order

FreshDirect sends subscriber-exclusive codes before major holidays. Applying them to pre-ordered holiday meal bundles can save $20-$40 on a large holiday order.

Price Match Policy

FreshDirect's price match guarantee lets you claim a lower price from qualifying competitors — both at the time of purchase and up to 14 days after. Knowing the rules can save you from overpaying on big-ticket items.

No Price Match Policy

FreshDirect does not offer a formal price match guarantee. The brand positions on quality and freshness rather than lowest price. DeliveryPass and weekly deals are the primary savings mechanisms.

Qualifying Competitors

Exclusions

  • FreshDirect does not price match any competitor or retailer
