Services like HelloFresh, Blue Apron and Home Chef fall somewhere in the middle with meal kits ranging around $9 and $10 a serving. With those, you're going to find a bigger delta between the meal kit cost and what it would cost to make the meal at home. The added cost is generally due to premium ingredients like grass-fed beef and organic produce. The most expensive outfits - Sunbasket, Green Chef and Martha Stewart and Marley Spoon - cost closer to $10 or $13 a serving. Who hasn't thrown out those last few ounces from a tub of sour cream or a couple of scallions you couldn't find a use for before they wilted away? What about other meal kit services?ĮveryPlate is the cheapest meal kit service, along with Dinnerly.
On the flip side, since meal kits generally give you exactly what you need for each meal and no more, you're less likely to have food waste. Most of the packaging, including the cooler box and ice packs are curbside recyclable. The company puts all its produce and other ingredients in a single cardboard box, whereas others individually package each ingredient, creating more waste.
