You may find you have more time to cook these days, while you’re sticking close to home. On the other hand, you’re probably trying to limit trips to the grocery store for ingredients.

What better time to try out one of the meal-prep kit delivery services?

Everything you need for delicious meals is delivered to your door — including the exact amount of each ingredient you need, and clear instructions. There’s no guesswork and no waste. No leaving the house. No planning ahead.

And the meal kit services know this is the perfect time to attract new customers, so they’re rolling out the deals.

Check out the introductory offers from the meal services listed below — which includes meal kits, smoothie kits, and fully prepared meals.

One thing to keep in mind. Since these are introductory offers, in some cases they will automatically renew and you’ll be charged the full price, so be sure to keep an eye on your account and cancel in time to avoid the next payment and shipment.

Also, when you order from Groupon, always look on the top of the screen to see if there’s a special promo code. We’ve been seeing deals for an extra 20% or 25% off meal prep services, periodically.

Last thing: before you order from Groupon, go to the food prep service’s website to verify that it delivers to your zip code.
