Starting June 15, the price of the Foodie Club will increase to $29.99/month (or $299/year).
If you’re already a member — or if you join before June 15 — you’ll be grandfathered in at the current price of $20/month (or $200/year) for life.
That gives you two weeks from now to lock in the original price — forever.
Why the Price Is Going Up
When we launched the club, we had fewer than 40 restaurant partners and about $2,000 in total gift card value. Even then, that was a 10X return on your monthly membership.
Today, we’ve partnered with over 100 locally owned restaurants, offering more than $6,000 in real gift card value — not coupons, not free drinks, but actual vouchers that take $10, $20, or even $40 off your bill. And we’re just getting started: we expect to add at least 20 more restaurants this season.
Even at the new price of $29.99/month, that’s still a 20X return on your investment.
We’ve researched programs like this across the country, and honestly, we haven’t found anything like it. Most “dining clubs” offer minor discounts or happy hour perks. The Foodie Club offers real value that supports the local restaurants you love.
It’s About More Than Just Gift Cards
Members also get access to:
- Monthly Foodie Hour events — free food & drink at local restaurants
- R&D Dinner Series — exclusive tasting experiences where you try unreleased dishes and give feedback to chefs
- Early access and discounts to Tucson Foodie’s festivals and events from our partners including SAACA, Tucson Originals, Tucson City of Gastronomy, and more.
- And maybe most important of all: your membership helps keep our content free for everyone in the community. (Remember when we had a paywall? Thanks to this model — we don’t anymore.)
Powered by Local Love
We’re incredibly grateful to the 100+ locally owned restaurants in our program. They’re not just offering vouchers — they’re helping power a unique local media model.
By participating, they’re:
- Circulating value directly in Tucson’s food economy
- Bringing new faces through their doors
- Supporting local journalism in a way that’s never been done before
If you’ve been on the fence, now’s the time.
Join before June 15 to lock in the original $20/month or $200/year rate for life.
