The content of the boxes, which are available in , will vary depending on what's available.
But Morrisons said a typical box for a meat eater may include everything from canned baked beans to meat and vegetables. We've included the full list in the box below.
The boxes contain food products worth around £30, and you'll then pay £5 for delivery.
The scheme launched online yesterday and slots have already sold out, but Morrisons said new slots are being made available everyday.
What's included in the Morrisons box
A TYPICAL box at the supermarket may include:
- Canned baked beans, soup and pasta sauce
- Milk
- Dairy products such as butter and cheese
- Bread
- Rice and pasta
- Meat products, such as sausage, bacon and cooked meat
- Vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots and onions
- Fresh meat such as chicken or beef
- Essential household items
The supermarket hasn't yet clarified the time, so we'll update this article once we hear back.
If you're keen to snap one up, Morrisons is also opening a call centre this Monday, March 31, that will take bookings over the phone.
The £35 price tag may seem expensive, but it could come in handy if you're struggling to find the products you need at supermarkets.
You can select a delivery date that suits you - Morrisons says it can deliver the next day if you order before 3pm, but at the moment be aware that delivery times could vary.
If you're unable to get one, Hello Fresh and Gousto do recipe boxes but they're both struggling due to high demand following the coronavirus outbreak.
A statement on Hello Fresh' website said: "We’ve been seeing high interest in our service and the teams are working very hard on getting everybody’s box ready on time.
"We are doing our best to adapt to the situation but are still in the process of scaling up our operations.
"Unfortunately we can't process your order at the moment. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused."
While Gousto said it's stopped accepting orders from new customers due to "extremely high demand".
It added: "We cannot apologise enough for being unable to serve you."

Since the coronavirus started spreading, Brits have panic-bought items forcing supermarkets to introduce rationing for the first time since the Second World War.
In the first week of March alone, stockpiling shoppers spent an extra £60million on essentials.
Brits now have more than £1billion worth of food stockpiled in their homes, according to the country's top retail official.
