31 Black Friday Meal Kit Deals (And Subscription Deals) for a Gift That Keeps on Giving
Meal Kit Deals and Meal Subscription Deals
It’s no surprise that we BA staffers love to cook, and judging based on the fact that you’re on our site right now, we’re willing to guess you do too. But life can get hectic sometimes, especially in the lead up to the end of the year. That’s where meal kits come in: Think of them as a helping hand that gives you everything you need to streamline the process of home cooking—no last minute grocery store runnings or succumbing to takeout, even when you really don't want to cook. Think of them as helpers to get those weeknight dinners to the table on nights when you're just feeling uninspired—or to take the guesswork out of making a weekly meal plan full of healthy meals. We’ve tested meal delivery services extensively, which you can read all about here, but we’ve rounded up the best deals on meal kits we can vouch for right here to make meal prep easy for you. Each of these services offers a weekly menu that requires no thinking on your part, and includes options for a range of dietary needs, whether you're eating low-carb, gluten free, dairy free, paleo, or pescatarian.
One of our absolute favorite meal delivery services is CookUnity. They specialize in premade meals that you leave in your fridge and then heat up in the oven or microwave when you're ready to eat. But these aren't your average re-heatable dinners. All the dinners are unique and made by chefs across the country—think dishes like Desi Butter Chicken with cauliflower mash and Roasted Peri-Peri chicken with harissa brussel sprouts. You set a meal plan that best suits your dietary preferences and how many meals you want, and then you get to select the meals you want from a curated menu. If you're already salivating, trust us—we're right there with you. You can satiate the craving at a discount this Black Friday with a whole 50% off your first order and 10% off the three after that.
Home Chef is one of our favorite, product test-winning meal kits because of the wide array of options they offer, and the high-quality ingredients they feature in their boxes. You can help narrow down the options by selecting how you typically eat (with options like high protein, keto-friendly, vegetarian, or “I'll eat anything”), and then choose between oven-ready meals and make-it-yourself kits that range in complexity.
BA contributor Tiffany Hopkins has tested a lot of meal kits in her day, and Sunbasket is in her opinion the most premium of them all.

Plus, the meals are a tier above the kind of basic fare you’ll find in many other kits, making this a great pick for anyone looking for some inspiration in the kitchen. Take $160 off across your first five boxes and free shipping on your first box from 11/22–12/3.
Gobble is our favorite meal kit for quick, weeknight-friendly meals—as in, meals that take a mere 15 minutes start to finish.
