Don't Pay Full Price For Meal Kits: The Best Meal Delivery Deals in May
I've tested all the meal kits -- many of them three or four times -- and have no shortage of for getting the most out of a subscription. First and foremost is not paying full price to try a service. Meal kits services offer seasonal and sign-up offers that net you dozens of meals at a fraction of the normal price. If you're looking to try healthy, keto or budget-friendly meal delivery or switch to a new meal delivery service, take advantage of the ridiculously low offers they make to get your attention. All of the offers below come with minimal commitment, so you can cancel or pause after the deal runs its course. Blue Apron just launched its biggest sale of the year good for $180 off or 22 free servings. The cheapest dollar-for-dollar meal kit deal in May is EveryPlate. This budget-friendly service already offers some of the most affordable meal subscriptions. New customers will get their first box for around $2 per serving but only for one box of meals. Don't pay full price for meal delivery. CNET Other discounts we found include deals on prepared services including Factor and Daily Harvest, with savings as big as $235 for healthy meal kits, keto meal kits, prepared meals and even meat, seafood and grocery subscriptions.

The deal: Save $25 on your first box. Details Save $25 off your first box See at Wild Alaskan Company Close What are the best meal delivery deals? Make dinner in under 20 minutes with speedy meal kits. David Watsky/CNET If it's the lowest possible cost, EveryPlate, HelloFresh, Purple Carrot and Gobble will send meal kits that are ready to cook, with some clocking in at under $2 per serving. Other popular prepared-meal services such as CookUnity are ready to 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? Cook Unity has some of the best prepared meals of any service we tried. David Watsky/CNET I've tried most of them 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 thebest healthy food delivery services for a more detailed taste. Remember, nearly all of these meal kit companies let you pause or cancel anytime, 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 fall, a healthy, versatile and budget-friendly meal delivery deal can help you do it on the cheap. Fresh seafood is an option with most meal kit services. David Watsky/CNET These offers were valid at the time of publication, but they can end at any time and may be restricted by geography and other cookie-based conditions in your browser. If you don't see a deal populate, try in a new window or 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 (making 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. Is it easy to cancel a meal kit service? I restested EveryPlate and it's still my favorite cheap meal kit service. David Watsky/CNET Virtually all of the services we tried allow you to pause or cancel any time just in case you don't love it, so there's almost no risk after the deal is up, but you may have to unsubscribe from their email blasts. Most brands just want you to try out the meals and see if you dig them and those brands are willing to make it very easy (and cheap) to do that. To make things easier, we already tried the top meal kits and meal delivery services so you'll know exactly what to expect and you can pick the best food delivery deal for you and your tastes.

Get a Pair of Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Headphones for $50 Off in This Limited-Time Deal From Woot
There's something wrong about running without music. If not music, then a great podcast to keep your mind occupied while getting in some serious miles. That's why we're highlighting these unique bone-conduction Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones that allow you to enjoy your favorite songs while still being aware of everything around you. Typically found for $180, Woot has dropped them to $130 in a limited-time offer. Bone-conduction headphones have been on the market for a while now, but our reviewer hailed the OpenRun Pro 2s as one of the first pairs out there with truly good sound -- earning them a top spot on our list of the best running headphones of 2025. This is thanks to the new and improved hybrid-driver design, providing fuller bass tones, which these kinds of headphones typically lack. They're also fairly rugged with an IP55 weather-resistance rating and boast a fairly impressive 12-hour battery life. Plus, solid voice-calling performance makes it easy to stay connected while you're on the road or trails. Earning a CNET Editors' Choice award and a spot on our lists of the best headphones for running and working out, it's fair to say that these Shokz are some of the absolute best bone-conduction headphones on the market right now. In fact, CNET's audio expert David Carnoy found very little not to love about them other than their steep price, which is much less of an issue now that they're 28% off. Looking for more options? We've rounded up the best headphones on the market now with Sony, Bose and more all featuring.
