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.
Blue Apron is a custom meal delivery kit that provides all the ingredients you need to prepare your chosen meal. 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.

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.
