Home Chef, labeled the most beginner-friendly meal kit by Caleb R. Anderson at News Of Fort Worth, is slashing prices for first-time subscribers with multiple stacked promotions.
How the 18-Meal Offer Works
The headline discount is applied as 50% off each weekly order for the first month, totaling 18 complimentary meals when you maintain a minimum of 10 servings per week. Shipping is free on the inaugural box, and every subsequent delivery includes a dessert add-on at no extra cost.
Family and Hero Discounts
Separate promos target households and essential workers:
- Kids Eat Free: 50% off the first family box, then 17% off the next four orders
- Heroes Discount: Verify status through ID.me for 50% off box one and an extra 10% off future plans; open to new and existing customers
Menu Options and Filters
Weekly plans can be filtered by:
- Keto-friendly or calorie-conscious recipes
- Under-30-minute meals
- Oven-ready entrées
- Family-style portions
- Add-ons like soups and flatbreads
All ingredients arrive pre-measured and ready to cook.
Planning Ahead and Pickup
Customers can schedule holiday bundles online, by phone, or in select Kroger stores. Choose a protein and sides, then collect the ready-to-heat bundle during an in-store pickup slot.
Key Takeaways
- Claim 18 free meals with a four-week 50% discount and lifetime weekly dessert
- Plans start at $6.99 per serving and require at least 10 servings weekly to trigger the promo
- Extra savings exist for families and verified essential workers
- Filter menus by diet, cook time, or portion size before doorstep delivery
The promotion lowers the barrier for novice cooks to build kitchen confidence while keeping grocery budgets in check.
