The True Grocery Bill: How Premade Meals Save You Up to 30%

The True Grocery Bill: How Premade Meals Save You Up to 30%

Apr 29th 2025

We’ve all been there: you fill your cart with fresh produce, lean proteins, and pantry staples—and then wince at the total. What if you could spend less money, save time, and still enjoy chef-crafted meals? At SendAMeal.com, we’ve done the math to show you how our prepared meal delivery can slash your weekly grocery bill by up to 30%.

The Hidden Costs of Grocery Shopping

Grocery shopping isn’t just about ingredient prices. Factor in perishables that spoil, impulse buys, pantry items you never finish—and suddenly your cart total climbs higher than anticipated. In fact, the average American household wastes over $1,500 worth of groceries each year due to spoilage and unplanned purchases.

Comparing Costs—Grocery vs. Premade Meal Bundles

Item Grocery Cost SendAMeal Bundle Cost
5 Chicken Dinners $60 $42
Vegetables & Sides $25 Included
Total $85 $42

That’s over a 50% savings on ingredients alone—and that doesn’t even include the time you save by skipping prep and cleanup!

Real-Life Example: Weekly Meal Plan Savings
