How we rank UK meal kits
We rank meal kits and prepared meal services offering single portions (1 person, 3 meals a week or ready meals at 1 a day) by price per serving, helping solo eaters find budget-friendly options.
Prices and offers come straight from each provider and the list rebuilds every day, so it changes as deals do. We earn a commission or credit when you sign up through our links; it never changes the order.
