FAQs

Who has the best ready meals? ›

Food delivery is a courier service in which a restaurant, store, or independent food-delivery company delivers food to a customer. An order is typically made either by telephone, through the supplier's website or mobile app, or through a third party food ordering service.

Standard meals start at $9.99 per serving depending on the current available menu and options. However, your price per serving cost will vary depending on the size of your order. Meal types vary in price. Our minimum weekly order value is $50.95 for Home Chef Plan and $82.91 for Family Plan.

Best Overall: Blue Apron

Pros: Blue Apron offers both meal kits and prepared meals with an impressive range of gourmet recipes. Cons: Some of our tester experienced shipping issues, and the service lacks keto and paleo options.

Picking up a ready meal may seem cheap and easy, but it actually costs less to make the same thing at home.

At COOK, all our healthy ready meals are hand-prepared using carefully sourced ingredients, just like you would at home.

With Blue Apron, four weeks of weekly boxes for two people would cost between $192 and $240 (for two to three meals). For four people, a month would be between $288 and $479 (for two to four meals).

What food delivery app is the cheapest? ›

DoorDash is the cheapest service for small orders

For all three orders under $20, DoorDash had the cheapest total cost, sometimes by a significant margin. In total, DoorDash was nearly $10 cheaper than Grubhub and about $6 cheaper than Uber Eats.

Amazon Fresh is an online and physical grocery store. We offer low prices on everyday favorites, plus same-day delivery and free pickup in select locations for Prime members.

Oven-Ready meals are fan favorites! Each comes with portioned, prepped ingredients + an oven-safe tin for minimal clean up.

There are indeed a few types of ready meals available to buy, which are all likely to be partly or fully pre-cooked and will need heating through thoroughly until piping hot at home.

We ship fresh produce with care using a biodegradable, insulated box with water-soluble, cool gel packs designed to keep your food refrigerated, not frozen.

While most ready meals you can buy from any supermarket can be a quick hit to fill you up when you don't have time to cook, they often lack nutritional content. Ready meals are also typically quite cheap, and this is because the quality of the ingredients is not the best.

One common issue with ready meals is high sodium (or salt) content. Excessive sodium intake has been linked to high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney problems and other issues. Always check the nutrition label for sodium levels; a good guide is no more than 120mg of sodium per 100g (or 400mg per serving).

Are frozen ready meals healthy? Well, it depends. Some frozen meals are a nutritional nightmare, loaded with unhealthy fats, excessive sodium, and preservatives that could give a chemistry lab a run for its money. However, not all frozen ready meals fall into this category.
