How Much Does Affordable Meal Delivery Cost?

At Send a Meal, individual complete dinners like our Meat Lasagna start around $14.95, while our value-focused multi-meal plans lower your cost per serving even further. The 5-Day Meal Plan ($119.95) and the 7-Day Meal Plan ($129.95) are two of the best ways to stock your freezer and keep affordable meal delivery working for your household all week long.

Affordable Meal Delivery vs. Meal Kits and Takeout

Meal kits look cheap up front but still require your time to prep and clean. Takeout adds service fees, taxes, and tips that quickly inflate the bill. Affordable meal delivery from Send a Meal gives you consistent portions, predictable costs, and almost no work. For households that value both savings and convenience, ready-to-eat delivery is the smarter choice. Explore our complete meals to compare.
