The beginning of a new year is challenging. One part of you wants to dive right into resolutions, like eating better and working out, while the other part wants to be cozied up on the couch until springtime rolls around. Luckily, there are ways to ease into your goals so you don't feel overwhelmed.

If you're focused on putting more well-rounded dinners on the table, consider signing up for a meal delivery service. It's a smart solution for those who don't have time to cook or need some inspiration in the kitchen. Families, couples, and individuals of all cooking levels and lifestyles can benefit from meal subscriptions.

Meal delivery kits, like HelloFresh and Blue Apron, are an excellent choice for families and home cooks while prepared meal delivery services, such as Factor (also known as Factor75) and Daily Harvest, are ideal for individuals or people with busy schedules. These subscriptions can also be much more cost-effective than your weekly grocery hauls, and they become even smarter investments when you take advantage of sales.

Best Prepared Meals on Sale

Meal kits are a smart choice for people who have time to cook. But if you struggle with dinnertime because of a busy schedule, consider signing up for a prepared meal delivery service. Sure, microwavable meals from the frozen foods section don't have the best reputation (and for good reason), but the majority of prepared meals from meal delivery services are shipped fresh. These companies earn the stamp of approval from Food & Wine writers because the meals are made with high-quality ingredients and are prepared by chefs, plus they have plenty of menu options for different lifestyles. Factor is giving customers $120 off their first five orders, and Fresh n' Lean is providing a $20 discount on your first box with code FRESH20 at checkout. If you want your meals to stay fresh longer, Daily Harvest's frozen meal delivery service is the way to go.

For a limited time, you can use code WELCOME2022 to receive $35 off your first delivery. Check out all the prepared meal delivery deals below.
