Top tips to easily go green in your kitchen
There are many reasons for greenifying your kitchen.
Do meal kits save you money?
While everyone knows meal kit delivery services are convenient and save you time, the question on everyone’s lips is ‘do meal kits save you money?’
Meal prepping and cooking at home is one of the best ways to save money every day. But what if you just don’t enjoy cooking or can’t seem to make time for it, and end up resorting to takeout?
How meal kits can help save you money
Putting the money you would use for takeout towards a meal kit delivery service could help you eat at home more (and help you become a better cook too). Fresh Prep’s sustainable and convenient meal kits are delivered to your door weekly and include pre-cut, pre-portioned fresh ingredients for recipes that can be prepared in under 30 minutes. Fresh Prep is Western Canada’s #1 meal kit, with plans starting from $10.50 per serving.
Subscribing to a meal kit delivery service doesn’t mean you’ll never have to go to the grocery store again, but it can definitely save you a few trips. If you’re someone who’s prone to impulse shopping at the grocery store, or find you have lots of ingredients left over that you never use, a meal kit can help you plan your meals and reduce food waste, therefore saving you money.
Meal kits minimize food waste by delivering just the right amount of ingredients for each meal, reducing the chance of spoiled veg and uneaten leftovers. Gone are the days of buying bunches of herbs or large jars of food, just to have them go bad in the fridge.
Fresh Prep only uses premium quality ingredients in our meal kits: sustainable seafood and fresh fruit and vegetables from local farms, just to name a few. Customers can create restaurant-quality meals at home for about the same cost as buying ingredients from the supermarket.
Ok I’m sold, but can I save money on Fresh Prep too?
You can save money per serving by switching to a bigger plan. For example, a 4 x 4 plan with 4 meals per week and 4 servings each costs less per serving than a plan with 2 meals per week and 2 servings each.
If you need flexibility from week to week, add servings as needed. However, if you find yourself doing that a lot, we recommend increasing your plan size instead of adding servings to get the best deal.
Cooking for one and wondering if a meal kit is worth it money-wise? Try a 2 x 2 plan with 2 meals per week for 2 people. That way you’ll have plenty of leftovers for lunch.
If you’re cooking for a couple or group with mixed dietary requirements such as vegans and meat eaters, why not order vegan recipes and supplement them with chicken, steak or fish? Fresh Prep has lots of protein options on our Add-ons Menu.
