Daily Harvest

Daily Harvest sells easy-prep vegan meals, including smoothies, grain bowls, flatbreads and soups. It’s one of the healthier meal delivery services and it’s also rather affordable, with most meals clocking in under $10. There’s also no subscription necessary if you want to give it a quick tryout. 

The deal: Try the service for the first time and Daily Harvest will knock as much as $60 off an order of 24 meals with code FRUITVEG.

every plate box and two meals every plate box and two meals

EveryPlate

You won’t see a ton of haute cuisine in EveryPlate’s weekly menu, but there are plenty of satisfying dinners for the cold weather ahead. I tried its pork sloppy joes and the chicken and linguine in a tomato cream sauce. All the meals I made were great, easy to prepare and light on the wallet. Read our EveryPlate review.

The dealEveryPlate is already our pick as the best meal kit service for families on a budget, but it’s bordering on ridiculously cheap when you sign up now. Depending on the meal plan you choose, you’ll score up to 72% off of EveryPlate’s already cheap meal kits when you try them in February. That’s between $1.49 and $2 per serving depending on the plan you choose.

Purple Carrot

For those eating plant-based or looking to add more vegetarian recipes to the weekly menu, Purple Carrot is the service to try. I tried Purple Carrot’s meat-free meal kits, and all the recipes I made were a huge hit, earning it a CNET Editors’ Choice award.

The deal: In a fairly rare sale, Purple Carrot is offering $100 off spread across your first four deliveries with code ROUTINE100.

HelloFresh

HelloFresh has more total meal kit selections than any other service and most of them are pretty easy to prepare. You can check out my deep-dive review of HelloFresh to learn more about the easy meal delivery service. 

The deal: HelloFresh is offering a signup deal worth 18 free servings spread across nine boxes — so, you’ll have to commit to more than two months. You’ll also get free shipping on the first box and a free breakfast item in each box for life.

ButcherBox

ButcherBox isn’t exactly a meal delivery service, but you can certainly make some excellent meals with what this online butcher service sends in its monthly boxes. ButcherBox is a meat subscription service specializing in Australian grass-fed beef, although you can also have heritage pork, wild salmon and organic chicken in your delivery, depending on the subscription you pick.

I did the math and ButcherBox’s premium meat delivery is cheaper than if you were to buy similar high-end cuts at a grocery store. Read our full ButcherBox review here.

The deal: Get your choice of 3 pounds of organic chicken thighs, 2 pounds of ground beef or 1 pound of steak tips in each box for a year.
