We live busy lives and sometimes a trip to the grocery store can feel like a hassle. One way to save time but still keep up with creating healthy, fresh meals is to consider a meal delivery kit. These kits provide the ingredients you need to whip up dinner without having to meal plan and shop. One of our favorites, Blue Apron, is currently offering an enticing special ahead of Memorial Day. From now until June 29, new customers can enjoy up to $180 off their first five boxes from Blue Apron. That's the equivalent of up to 22 free meals and the first week ships free.

They also have some prepared meals that you can just heat and serve for those super busy nights. Meals with this offer begin shipping May 19 and include a delicious array of recipes to choose from. The offer requires you to sign up for five weeks of continuous service. The service will auto renew at the end of five weeks, but you can cancel or change it once the five weeks is up.

Although previously rated as the top pick overall for meal delivery, our reviews team recently tried Blue Apron and compared notes. Flex editor Corin Cesaric appreciated that the meals were fairly simple to cook while still offering an impressive flavor palate. Wellness editor Anna Gragert found that for those of us who are vegetarian, Blue Apron offers a impressive variety of veg-friendly recipes. She also found the produce to be high quality.

Recipes included in this offer are fit for a Memorial Day feast. Think crab cakes and spicy caper mayo, honey-habanero potato salad, buffalo chicken dip and plenty more.
Why this deal matters
With the rising cost of groceries, being mindful of budgets and food waste can be critical. Our Senior Home and Kitchen editor David Watsky did a comparison of Blue Apron vs. groceries to see what actually cost more. He found that buying the ingredients yourself at the grocery store didn't save you money, and in fact, in many cases per serving Blue Apron was less expensive. If you're looking for a more affordable meal kit, Blue Apron is one of the most budget friendly. With the additional savings it just makes sense if you're ready to try one out.

This 23andMe Data Breach Settlement Could Pay You Up to $10,000: Here's How

Hackers used a credential stuffing attack to gain access to 23andMe accounts in October 2023. Getty Images/Viva Tung/CNET If you have ever used 23andMe, there's a good chance you may be able to get paid as part of its massive data breach settlement, potentially as much as $10,000. Genetic testing company 23andMe was struck by a prolonged data breach that allowed hackers to gain personal data for about half of the company's 14 million customers. Since then, the company struggled, filing for bankruptcy in March 2025, and it was eventually acquired by Regeron. Now that the ownership situation has been settled, 23andMe has started to allow customers to file claims for their shares of the legal settlement related to the data breach. The San Francisco-based company, which allows people to submit genetic materials and get a snapshot of their ancestry, announced in October 2023 that hackers had accessed customer information in a data breach. As a result, a January 2024 lawsuit accused the company of not doing enough to protect its customers and not notifying certain customers with Chinese or Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry that their data had been targeted specifically. It later settled the lawsuit for $30 million. "We have executed a settlement agreement for an aggregate cash payment of $30 million to settle all US claims regarding the 2023 credential stuffing security incident," a 23andMe spokesman told CNET. "We continue to believe this settlement is in the best interest of 23andMe customers, and we look forward to finalizing the agreement." A few months after that decision, there's now an official method available to make a claim and potentially get paid by 23andMe, in some cases as much as $10,000. Keep reading to get all the details you need, and for more, find out why T-Mobile settlement checks have been delayed and discover whether you can claim a piece of Apple's Siri privacy settlement. How many people did the 23andMe data breach hit? The settlement could cover roughly 6.9 million 23andMe customers whose data was targeted. To qualify, 23andMe customers must also have been US residents as of Aug. 11, 2023. That 6.9 million number includes around 5.5 million customers of 23andMe's DNA Relatives profiles, which lets people find and connect with genetic relatives. The other 1.4 million people affected by the breach used another service known as Family Tree, which predicts a family tree based on the DNA users share with relatives, 23andMe said. How much money could I get from the settlement? At the top end, 23andMe has said it would pay out up to $10,000 with an "Extraordinary Claim" to each customer who can verify that they suffered hardships as a direct result of their information being stolen in the data breach that resulted in unreimbursed costs. This includes costs from "identity fraud or falsified tax returns," acquiring physical security systems, or receiving mental health treatment. Residents of Alaska, California, Illinois and Oregon who were affected by the data breach can also apply for a payment as part of the proposed settlement, since those states have genetic privacy laws with damages provisions. The payments for these individuals are expected to be around $100, depending on how many people file for them, a settlement document said. Also, a smaller subset of affected users whose personal health information was impacted by the breach will be able to apply for a payment of $100. Infographic: Gianmarco Chumbe/CNET. Photo:Will the 23andMe settlement include anything else? Beyond those payments, 23andMe will also offer impacted users three years of a security monitoring service called Privacy Shield, which filings described as providing "substantial web and dark web monitoring." How can I file a claim for the 23andMe settlement? In order to file a claim electronically, you can do so using this official online portal from the Kroll Restructuring Administration. An additional online form is available if you would like proof of your claim sent to you. Potential claimants can also download and print out hard copies of the claim form and proof of claim form if they wish to submit them by mail. If you plan to use this method, send your forms to one of the addresses listed on the claims website. The deadline to make a claim is July 14, 2025.

Treasury Yields Fall Amid Concerning Labor Data, Mild Inflation

0900 ET – U.S. labor and inflation data deepen a decline in Treasury yields. Weekly jobless claims were unchanged from the previous week's upwardly revised pace, at 248,000. Economists surveyed by WSJ expected 246,000. Continuing claims, a measure of the unemployed population, was 1.96 million, the highest level since November 2021. May's wholesale price inflation was 0.1%, accelerating from April's 0.2% deflation and below consensus of a positive 0.2%. The combination of slower-than-expected inflation and concerning labor data underscores bets that the Fed may need to change its hawkish position. Yields were already declining and fell further after the data. The 10-year Treasury yield is at 4.360% and the two-year at 3.891%. ( @ptrevisani) 0614 GMT – A downside surprise in U.S. CPI data gave only a small boost to Treasurys, probably because tariff-driven price hikes still look imminent, says Capital Economics' James Reilly in a note. That said, these price hikes look discounted in markets, shielding Treasury yields from rising pressure, the senior markets economist says. 'We don't expect much upwards pressure on Treasury yields even as the inflationary impact of tariffs eventually feeds into U.S. consumer prices,' he says. Capital Economics expects core inflation to rise in coming months but it thinks that investors are already braced for a broadly similar outcome on tariffs, he says. (

Governor Wes Moore to announce initiative to lower energy costs in Maryland

Amid rising energy costs, Maryland Governor Wes Moore plans to announce a new initiative to lower energy costs Thursday morning. On Jan. 1, Baltimore Gas and Electric raised rates, increasing the average residential gas bill by 9% and the electric bill by 7%. The cost of energy in Maryland continued to rise BGE customers and state leaders publicly challenged the increases, which were a part of the company's planned multi-year utility rate hikes. In February, the Baltimore City Council called on state regulators to stop the increases, which totaled $602 million over the course of three years. BGE said the increase was necessary to cover the cost of continued investments in gas and electric distribution systems. In March, City Council President Zeke Cohen led a community walk, going door to door to collect signatures on a petition that asked the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) to stop the hikes. Some customers experienced price hikes larger than the stated increase rates, with some residents reporting that their winter bills climbed by more than $200. In response to the hikes, lawmakers passed a bill, the Next Generation Energy Act, which aims to reduce costs by directing the Public Service Commission to reject multi-year rate hikes that don't demonstrate customer benefit, and prohibiting utilities from charging ratepayers for certain expenses like trade association memberships and private planes. Why have energy costs increased? BGE said those additional increases seen by consumers were a result of an increase in the price of natural gas and increased gas usage. Then again on June 1, BGE's electricity cost to consumers rose by $16 monthly, which the company said was due to an unexpected spike in capacity auction prices and the Talen Energy reliability-must-run (RMR) fee. When BGE announced the increase, the Maryland General Assembly wrote a letter urging federal legislators to stop the increase. They blamed PJM Interconnection, the region's power grid operator, for miscalculating the supply and demand for electricity during the capacity market auction, a competitive bidding process where power companies promise to make their electricity generation available in the future.
