How we rank UK meal kits
We rank by the regular price per serving, because that's what you pay once the new-customer discount ends. The first-box price shows how cheap your first week is with today's offer. All prices use the same box size (2 people, 3 meals a week; ready meals at 1 a day) and exclude delivery.
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.
