EveryPlate is the value pick and calls itself America's lowest-priced home cooking box. On its US plans page, a Meat & Veggie box with 3 recipes for 4 people costs $83.88, or $6.99 per serving. You can pick 2, 4 or 6 people and 3, 4 or 5 recipes a week, and choose a preference such as Smart & Fit, Quick & Easy, Family Faves or Veggie while still seeing every recipe. The menu has 35+ recipes a week, including Big Family Classics with 25% more food at the same price and Anyone Can Make This meals with no more than 6 steps. EveryPlate says dinner takes about 30 minutes, and Minimal Cleanup recipes use one pan or a sheet pan. Weekly deal drops add items for $1 to $3. The tradeoffs are a shipping fee on all deliveries and a menu built for comfort food more than special diets.
