Blue Apron is still the best meal kit service after more than 10 years in the business. The meal kits on each weekly menu include tender steaks and fresh seafood recipes and can be had for under $10 per serving, which is often cheaper than if you bought the groceries yourself. Read our full Blue Apron review here.

Blue Apron has a hot summer deal for new customers that amounts to $150 off spread out across your first six orders, plus free shipping on the very first. 

Factor prepared meals don’t get any easier — just heat and eat — and most of Factor’s weekly menu options are healthy and low-carb or low-calorie so you can start your summer off on the right foot. 

Factor is offering a trio of deals, one of which you’ll select from a digital mystery box. Those include as much as 50% off your first shipment and 20% off your second order of meals. Read our full Factor review here.

I tested Home Chef last year and loved its highly customizable meal kits and comfort-food recipes with a healthy bent, all of which were easy to prepare. Home Chef is also one of the more affordable meal kit companies, starting at $8 or $9 per serving, and is even more so if you sign up using this offer. 

New subscribers will get a big discount that amounts to 18 servings spread across your first four boxes. If you’ve been wanting to try a meal kit subscription, Home Chef makes it easy (and cheap). You can pause or cancel at any time, so the risk is low. Read our Home Chef review.

OK, so ButcherBox isn’t exactly a meal delivery service, but you can certainly make some excellent meals with what this online butcher service sends in its monthly boxes. ButcherBox is an online meat subscription service specializing in Australian grass-fed beef. But you can also have heritage pork and organic chicken in your monthly box, depending on the subscription you pick.

Subscribe to ButcherBox during September and receive two filet mignons and two lobster tails for free in your first box. You can cancel or pause your subscription anytime. 

EveryPlate is already our pick as the best meal kit service for families on a budget, but it’s bordering on ridiculously cheap when you sign up now. Depending on the meal plan you choose, you’ll score up to 72% off of EveryPlate’s already cheap meal kits when you try them in September. That’s between $1.49 and $2 per serving depending on the plan you choose.

You won’t see a ton of haute cuisine in EveryPlate’s weekly menu, but there are plenty of satisfying dinners for the cold weather ahead. I tried its pork sloppy joes and the chicken and linguine in a tomato cream sauce. All the meals I made were great, easy to prepare and, best of all, light on the wallet. Read our EveryPlate review.

Of all the prepared meal services I’ve tried, CookUnity was right up there in the top two or three with a massive selection and a high overall hit rate. Many of the menu offerings have been created by restaurant chefs and cooking personalities such as Einat Admony (Taïm, Balaboosta), John DeLucie (Waverly Inn, Lumaca) and Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

The service is a little pricey, but if you sign up to try CookUnity and use promo code CNET30 it’ll knock 30% off the first order. That means meals as cheap as $7, depending on the total number you order. Read our CookUnity review.

Good Chop definitely has the chops — pork, specifically — along with excellent cuts of beef, organic chicken and a range of seafood options. Good Chop is a subscription meat delivery service with shipments starting at $149 per month for 36 portions of quality meat. But you can try it for much cheaper than that. 

If you’re new to Good Chop and want to give the service a trial run, we’ve got an exclusive offer for CNET readers worth a whopping $120 off across your first three deliveries. You can pause or cancel your Good Chop subscription at any time.

HelloFresh has more total meal kit selections than any other service and most of them are pretty easy to prepare. You can check out my deep-dive review of HelloFresh to learn more about the easy meal delivery service. 

HelloFresh is offering a signup deal worth up to 50% off. That nets out to between $3 and $6 per serving, depending on the number of meals you choose.

This signup offer is for one the best meal healthy delivery services we’ve tried. Fresh N Lean has nutritious meals that are tasty and a subscription won’t totally break the bank, with some meal plans clocking in at around $9 a serving. Want to see how much I liked it? Read our Fresh N Lean review.

Sign up now for any Fresh N Lean plan (offerings include keto, protein plus, vegan, Mediterranean and Whole30) and new customers will get 15% off their first four weeks of Fresh N Lean meals. 

For those eating plant-based or looking to add more vegetarian recipes to the weekly menu, Purple Carrot is the service to try. I tried Purple Carrot’s meat-free meal kits, and all the recipes I made were a big hit in my house. 

Purple Carrot doesn’t usually have a signup deal, but if you try this plant-based meal kit service in March, you’ll get $25 off each of your first four boxes. This is a rare deal for the popular plant-based service.

Daily Harvest sells easy-prep vegan meals, including smoothies, grain bowls, flatbreads and soups. It’s one of the healthier meal delivery services and it’s also rather affordable with most meals clocking in under $10. There’s also no subscription necessary if you want to give it a quick tryout. 

Try the service now and Daily Harvest will give new customers as much as $35 off a box of your first order of 24 items.

Thrive Market is less of a meal kit or prepared meal service and more of a specialty online market with excellent snacks, pantry staples, beauty supplies, pet food and loads more. Thrive has a $5 monthly membership fee but if you have a taste for high-end groceries or seek organic foods, you won’t likely find them cheaper than on Thrive. Plus, Thrive Market will price match anything you do find cheaper at another retailer.

Sign up for a Thrive Market membership in March and you’ll get 30% off and a grocery gift worth $60.

Splendid Spoon specializes in deliveries of quick smoothies, soups, rice bowls and other noshes that are great for breakfast and lunch. Some work well for dinner too, but I like this service better for those first two meals of the day. The meal delivery service is a little pricey for what you get but has some inventive recipes along with classics, so there’s a little something for everyone. 

If you want to give Splendid Spoon a try, you’ll get $100 off spread across your first two boxes. Read our Splendid Spoon review.
