Best Value

Marley Spoon was the only meal kit where that had tasty food and we consistently had leftovers for lunch.

  • About 10 recipes to choose from per week — a few more than most kits reviewed.
  • Box to table within 30 minutes.
  • Large portions — the most of any meal kit we reviewed.
  • If you order 4 meals per week, it’s cheaper than many of the other plans.

Try for Only $31.50

Try Marley Spoon’s 2-person, 3-meal plan for only $31.50 with code FOMOPOP (normally $61.50).
