    Cheap meal kits exist.

    Whether if you’re stuck home or just don’t feel like going out to eat, a meal kit is a great way to save money while also eating healthier at home.

    Although going grocery shopping may seem like the easier and more affordable option if done right, some of these cheaper meal kits will save you one of the most important things – time.

    Plus, by having your weekly meals delivered, you’ll ultimately save gas and energy while possibly even reducing stress.

    That’s why I recommend to skip the tedious meal planning and jump straight into quick weekly meal prep with a meal subscription plan.

    Below, you’ll find ten of the major meal kits ranked from cheapest to most expensive.

      Yes it’s a little misleading home chef does not have any 699 meals but you can’t find this out until after you subscribe and then they give you the prices of their meals canceled account because of that

      I would definitely revise this list to show more accurate information, at least on home chef. While it’s one of my favorite subscription services, it is definitely not affordable or cheap. Meals CAN be as low as $6.99, yes but that’s not usually the case. And the delivery fee is accurate, but what you’re not including is the fact that you have to have a $50 minimum subtotal before you complete your order. So at least one of your meals has to be on the pricier end.
