Meal Kit Deals and Meal Subscription Deals
It’s no surprise that we BA staffers love to cook, and judging based on the fact that you’re on our site right now, we’re willing to guess you do too. But life can get hectic sometimes, especially in the lead up to the end of the year. That’s where meal kits come in: Think of them as a helping hand that gives you everything you need to streamline the process of home cooking—no succumbing to takeout, even when you really don’t want to cook. Think of them as helpers to get those weeknight dinners to the table on nights when you’re just feeling uninspired—or to take the guesswork out of making a weekly meal plan full of healthy meals. We’ve tested meal delivery services extensively, which you can read all about here, but we’ve rounded up the best deals on meal kits we can vouch for right here to make meal prep easy for you by offering a weekly menu that requires no thinking on your part, including options if you’re eating low-carb, gluten free, paleo, or pescatarian.
BA contributor Tiffany Hopkins has tested a lot of meal kits in her day, and Sunbasket is in her opinion the most premium of them all. With a focus on health and sustainability, their meal kits feature organic veggies, responsibly raised meats, and wild-caught or sustainably raised seafood. Plus, the meals are a tier above the kind of basic fare you’ll find in many other kits, making this a great pick for anyone looking for some inspiration in the kitchen. Take $160 off across your first five boxes and free shipping on yourfirst box from 11/22–12/3.
Gobble is our favorite meal kit for quick, weeknight-friendly meals—as in, meals that take a mere 15 minutes start to finish. Our tester appreciated the optional add-ons Gobble offers, and the fact that the meals felt hearty and the portions sizes large. This meal kit is already a great value, and an even better one when you take $160 off across your first five boxes and get free cookies with your first box, all with free shipping.
Wellness deals

Sakara life’s 100% plant-based and organic meals won the heart of commerce editor (and admitted skeptic) Carina Finn when she tested the subscription-based nutrition program earlier this year.

The program features meals, supplements, a guidebook crafted by the in-house nutritionist at Sakara, and personalized support from a team of Wellness Coaches—and you can get 25% off their best-selling Signature Nutrition Program with code WELLNESS.
