Marley Spoon review

Marley Spoon publishes the clearest price table of any service here. Its help center lists every Ready to Cook box: 2 meals for 2 people cost $68.95, 4 meals for 4 people cost $188.83 and 6 meals for 6 people cost $372.63, with a $12.99 shipping fee on every order. Per serving, small boxes are expensive, about $17.24 for 2 meals for 2 people, while the 6 meals for 4 people box works out to about $10.53. The 6 person option and Big Batch recipes make it practical for large families, and the Balance by Marley Spoon range adds single-serving prepared meals, from 6 meals for $93.93. You can see the menu three weeks ahead and get a volume discount on bigger baskets. Diet planning is looser than at Green Chef, and couples ordering small boxes will pay far less at Dinnerly, which shares the same parent company.
