Food costs are rising and groceries and restaurant tabs are some of the biggest examples. Meal kit services, though, have largely held their ground on price, and a growing number of companies are sweetening the deal with major discounts on meal kits and prepared meals, plus promo codes for meal delivery.
We’ve rounded up the best current meal kit offers and delivery deals for Spring and Summer 2026, including HelloFresh, Home Chef, Factor, Cook Unity and ButcherBox. These are low-commitment, high-value promotions. Having personally tested every major meal kit service on the market, my honest advice is simple: take advantage of the best deals while they’re live — you can always cancel later.
Best meal kit deals for June 2026
If it’s quick, easy and satisfying meal kits you want, Home Chef is one of our top picks. Many of the recipes can be made in under 20 minutes and there are as many as 35 to choose from every week. We loved almost everything we made in the latest Home Chef test. There are also prepared meals available that require only heating and eating. Read our full review here.
The deal:
Get 18 servings spread across your first five weeks. That’s 30% off your first three boxes and 45% off the of next two.
HelloFresh has more than 100 recipes to pick from each week on the standard plan, with lots of substitutions and swaps available, os there’s no shortage of options. And after testing the service numerous times over the years, we can say that most are rather tasty and easy to make. Plus, there’s no better service for picky eaters or to accommodate niche diets such as gluten-free, dairy-free and diabetes-friendly. Read our full HelloFresh review here.
The deal:
- 10 Free Meals: This portion of the deal is spread out and applied as a discount on your initial boxes.
- Free Breakfast for Life: Select one free breakfast item (egg bites, hash browns or breakfast pastries) in every box. This freebie remains active for the duration of your subscription.
- Flexibility: No minimum commitment; you can skip weeks or cancel your plan at any time.
Dinnerly is one of the cheapest meal delivery services, even without a discount code. The quick-and-easy meal kit company sends all the fixings for hearty, healthy meals, and the cheapest plan costs about $6 per serving. Read our full Dinnerly review.
The deal: Use Dinnerly’s most popular discount code to get $140 off your first five boxes. That works out to 50% off the first box, plus free shipping, then 10% off your second box and 7% off the next three.
The legendary Martha Stewart collaborated on this upscale meal kit service, which is CNET’s pick for best meal kit of 2026. The recipes are thoughtful, inventive and tasty, but it’s one of the higher-end meal kits with a price tag to match, which is why we recommend trying it at a discount for weeks of premium meal kits on the cheap. Read our full review of Marley Spoon here.
The deal: Get $235 off, spread across your first five boxes of gourmet meal kits, and free shipping on your first box.
Here’s a breakdown of the deal:
- Box 1: 45% off + free shipping
- Box 2: 35% off
- Box 3: 10% off
- Box 4: 10% off
- Box 5: 20% off
You won’t find cheaper meal kits than EveryPlate’s. All three CNET editors who tested the service found there were plenty of satisfying dinners to choose from. I tried the pork sloppy joes and the chicken and linguine in a tomato cream sauce. All the meals we made were easy to prepare and light on the wallet. Read our EveryPlate review.
The deal: EveryPlate is already our pick for best meal kits on a budget, but its affordable meal kits are now down to $2.99 per serving for the first delivery of meals, plus a free lunch in each box for a month.
Green Chef has some of the best healthy meal kits we’ve tried. It uses largely organic produce and ethically raised meats. Green Chef costs a little more per serving than other meal kits, but you’ll taste it in the final dish. Read our full review of Green Chef here.
The deal: One of the biggest discounts we found. Save 50% on your first box and 20% on the next 8 deliveries.
Gobble is quite similar to the other services on this list, except that many of its items come already chopped, peeled and marinated, which can save you a lot of prep time. Dinner prices are normally a flat $12 per serving, so you do pay a bit extra for that convenience, but a good starter deal helps offset the costs. For more, read our Gobble review.
The deal: Get your first six meals for $36, plus free shipping.
*(offer valid for 2 person plan, 3 nights of meals)
Best prepared meal delivery deals and promo codes
Our vegan editor tested The Cumin Club and found its plant-based Indian-inspired meals to be delicious, thoughtfully developed and perfectly balanced. The fact that they were freeze-dried, rather than fresh or frozen, didn’t affect the flavor at all and made them easy to prepare with boiling water on the stovetop. Read our full review of The Cumin Club.
The deal:
Get 20% off your first order, no commitment required.
We can’t speak highly enough about CookUnity’s gourmet, prepared meals, and the prices are reasonable considering the quality and selection. Read our CookUnity review.
The deal: Get 50% off your first week.
Thistle has earned high marks from all the CNET editors who’ve tested it, including our vegan wellness editor, Anna Gragert. The fresh food service sends two weekly deliveries of freshly prepared salads, power bowls and breakfast meals that taste as if they came from the kitchen of a fancy health spa and resort. This service is dynamite for plant-based eating, but it also offers some meat options. Read our full review here.
The deal: Take advantage of 40% off your first week and then 10% off the next three.
It doesn’t get easier than Factor’s premade meals: Just heat and eat them for a fast lunch or dinner. Most of Factor’s weekly menu options are healthy and low-carb or low-calorie, so you can eat better this year. Read our full Factor review here.
The deal: Save 50% off your first box of meals, plus free breakfast for a year.
Another of our favorite healthy delivery services is ModifyHealth. The company is an excellent option for those with digestive issues and offers dozens of healthy meals for those following a low-FODMAP, gluten-free, low-carb or heart-friendly diet. The meals are ready to go, so you can just heat them and eat them right away, prep-free. Options start at just $10 per serving. Read our full review here.
The deal: Save 25% on your first order and get free shipping with promo code THRIVE25 at checkout.
Daily Harvest sells easy-prep vegan smoothies, oat bowls and wellness shots. It’s one of the healthier meal delivery services, and it’s affordable: most items clock in under $10. There’s also no subscription necessary if you want to give it a quick test run.
The deal: Save 15% on your first order and get free shipping when you purchase 12 or more items.
Tovala impressed us during our most recent test with fresh ingredients, tasty meals and an easy-to-use toaster oven. But the downside for some is that you have to use the Tovala Smart Oven with the meals. However, it’s currently being offered for free when you sign up for a subscription. It can also be used as a regular toaster oven. Read our full review here.
The deal: Get the Tovala Smart Oven for $69 (normally $300) with the code smarter230fs when you sign up for a subscription. Must commit to at least 6 meals per month for 6 months.
Best meat, seafood and grocery delivery deals right now
Fulton Fish Market, which sources from New York’s massive market of the same name, is the best seafood delivery service we’ve tried. This sprawling in-person and online marketplace offers a wide variety of fish, shellfish and prepared seafood. With Fulton, you can order a one-time box or a subscription to keep healthy fish rolling in all year.
The deal: Subscribers choose a free item included in every order over $150 for a full year. Items include salmon, shrimp, cod or crab cakes — up to a $400 value.
Good Chop has chops — pork, specifically — along with tasty cuts of beef, organic chicken and a plethora of seafood options. Good Chop is a subscription meat delivery service with shipments starting at $149 per month for 36 portions of quality meat.
The deal: Save $120 on your first meat delivery box.
ButcherBox is a meat subscription service specializing in Australian grass-fed beef, although you can also have heritage pork, wild salmon and organic chicken sent in your delivery, depending on the subscription you pick.
We did the math, and ButcherBox’s premium meat delivery is cheaper than buying similar high-end cuts at a grocery store. Read our full ButcherBox review here.
The deal: Sign up for ButcherBox and get your choice of sirloin tips, chicken wings or ground beef free in every order for life.
Omaha Steaks is one of the first meat delivery services to hit the scene. The massive website includes premium beef, chops, chicken and fish. The menu also includes a bevy of premade sides and desserts, such as the famous apple tartlet, as well as breakfast items to choose from.
The deal: Get 8 free burgers on any order of $129 or more.
Hungryroot (grocery delivery)
We tested Hungryroot, a hybrid meal-kit and grocery-delivery service, and loved it. The quirky food subscription sends healthy foods that can be eaten on their own or used to make recipes via the brand’s gently suggested meal kits. Here’s what we thought after a recent testing.
The deal: Sign up and get 30% off your first order and a free food gift in each box for life.
Wild Alaskan Company has a lot of what you’d guess they have: quality Alaskan salmon of the wild variety. You can score bundles of fresh fish delivered to your door at a frequency of your choosing and never be without high-quality seafood. The service starts at $155 a month for 12 6-ounce portions, and there is a rotating menu of add-on specials that includes prawns, red king crab, cold-smoked sockeye salmon and more.
The deal: Save $25 on your first box and free shipping.
What are the best meal delivery deals?
If it’s the lowest possible cost you’re after, EveryPlate, HelloFresh, and Gobble offer some of the most affordable meal kits with steep discounts for first-timers. On the other hand, CookUnity and Factor send premade, ready-to-eat dinners to your doorstep at per-serving prices that are far cheaper than takeout.
What’s the best meal delivery service?
We’ve tried every meal kit on this list and most of the delivery services too, and they’re all solid, with differences to consider depending on your budget, diet, taste and kitchen skill level. You can check out CNET’s roundups of the best meal kit delivery services and the best healthy food delivery services for a more detailed taste. Remember, nearly all of these meal kit companies let you pause or cancel at any time, so the risk and commitment when signing up for a meal kit service is minimal.
Whether you’re looking for ways to eat healthily, learn to cook new recipes or just make fewer trips to the grocery store this spring, a healthy, versatile and budget-friendly meal delivery deal can help you do it on the cheap.
These offers were valid at the time of publication, but they can end at any time and may be restricted by geography. If you don’t see a deal appear immediately, try in a new window or in a private browser. In the meantime, if you’ve already tried one or more of these, tell me which ones and what you liked or didn’t like.
My advice: Take advantage of one of these offers and make sure to pause or cancel after, unless you want to continue. You can see which service you like best and get super cheap takeout-style meals for weeks at a time.
Can you cancel a meal delivery service after getting the deal?
Virtually all of the services we tried allow you to pause or cancel at any time if you don’t love it, so there’s almost no risk after the deal is up, though you may have to unsubscribe from their email blasts. Most brands just want you to try the meals and see if you dig them, and they’re willing to make it very easy (and cheap) to do so.
CNET pro tip: Create an account, claim your discount, and set a calendar reminder to pause or cancel before regular pricing kicks in. It’s a low-risk way to explore new menus and find a routine that actually works for you — whether you’re cooking outside this summer or simply trying to keep the kitchen cool.
