In New Zealand, meat isn't just another item on the grocery list—it’s often the centrepiece of the Kiwi dinner plate. From Sunday lamb roasts and mid-week beef stir-fries to summer barbecues packed with pork chops and chicken nibbles, quality meat is a staple of the New Zealand diet.
However, with supermarket prices continuing to stretch household budgets, keeping high-quality protein on the table has become one of the biggest regular expenses for Kiwi families.
That’s why FoodVault is thrilled to announce our latest partner: Online Meats, New Zealand’s online butcher. By shopping directly through Online Meats, customers can access competitive pricing, and FoodVault members can receive an additional 10% discount on eligible purchases.
From JR Wholesale Meats to Online Meats
Online Meats didn't appear overnight—it was built on decades of genuine butchery and meat-industry experience.
The story traces back to its parent business, JR Wholesale Meats, a long-standing supplier within the New Zealand meat industry.
Built around direct relationships with suppliers, quality controls and professional butchery expertise, JR Wholesale Meats has supplied restaurants, venues, commercial kitchens and other businesses.
Recognising that everyday Kiwis could benefit from accessing competitive meat pricing outside the traditional supermarket model, the team launched Online Meats.
The concept is straightforward: bring the experience and product range of a professional butcher online, allowing consumers to order their meat directly and have it delivered to their door.
Today, Online Meats provides a convenient online option for households looking to buy fresh meat without relying solely on the supermarket.

The Compounding Value for Kiwi Families
For households that regularly purchase meat, even relatively small savings can add up over the course of a year.
Rather than relying exclusively on supermarket promotions, shopping directly with an online butcher gives consumers another option for comparing prices and finding value.
Start With Competitive Direct Pricing
Online Meats provides consumers with an alternative to traditional supermarket purchasing, allowing households to shop directly from an online butcher.
Add Your FoodVault Member Discount
FoodVault members can then apply their exclusive 10% discount to eligible Online Meats purchases.
This creates an additional saving on top of the prices available through Online Meats.
Small Weekly Savings Can Become Significant Annual Savings
For example, if a household saves $30 per week on its meat purchases, that represents:
$30 × 52 weeks = $1,560 per year
At $50 per week, the annual saving becomes:
$50 × 52 weeks = $2,600 per year
The exact saving will depend on what you buy, how often you order and the prices available at the time, but the principle is simple: small savings repeated every week can make a meaningful difference to the annual household budget.
