Some, like Daily Harvest, offer discounts for larger purchases.

Number of meals: Most subscriptions let you choose between two, three or four deliveries per week.

Finding the right meal delivery service that fits your needs can help you avoid higher in-store prices for food that is organic, gluten-free, etc.

Special diets: When you have to stick to a particular diet (such as vegetarian, keto, or paleo), buying your own ingredients can be expensive.

Pre-portioned, prepped, and dropped off on your front step like the best housewarming gift (that you have to finish making), these deliveries can take the stress out of planning dinner for the week, help you stick to a particular diet - and maybe even help you save some money. These convenient meal kits may be the closest we'll get to a future of instant meals zapped into existence whenever we need one, à la the Jetsons. With yo-yoing grocery prices still a point of concern for plenty of shoppers, some households have, reasonably, begun to eyeball meal delivery services. But here in our reality, grocery shopping takes two things you might not have a lot of: time and money. Whatever timeline figured that one out – good for them. Of course, meals don't just appear on their own, hassle-free and warm to the touch. Promotions are subject to availability and retailer terms.Īfter a long day, sitting down to a home-cooked meal can be a reward of its own. We may receive commissions from some links to products on this page.
