WhichMealKitMeal kit vs groceries: what the same dinner costs you

Your week, mixed
Most households mix. Say how many dinners come from each and what a takeout dinner costs you; the kit and grocery costs come from above.
Nothing you type leaves this browser. No yearly totals: weeks differ, and a kit box ships only in the weeks you do not skip.
How to read it
Paid at the store is every package at its full price. Food eaten counts only the share this dinner uses, and left in the cupboard is the rest: worth it if you cook with it before it spoils, wasted money if you do not. A kit sends close to what the recipe uses, so its price is nearer to the food eaten.
Kit prices
The kit side uses each maker’s own full price, not the first-box deal, from what meal kits cost. To see a whole delivery with shipping, fees and your first-box discount, use the cost calculator.
