What a meal kit costs per portion once the discount ends
Five meal kits normalised to the same six-portion week, with shipping added wherever the company will tell you what it is. Every figure read on one day.
Vendor menu — per-serving prices printed on individual meal kits, six servings at the most common price — read on 26 August 2026.
Blue Apron no longer prices a box, it prices a menu. Every meal kit carries its own per-serving figure — “$12.49/serv”, “$11.49/serv” — while the ready-to-eat trays carry a flat item price instead. Across the 155 meal-kit entries we read on 26 August 2026, prices ran from $6.00 to $14.49 a serving, with $12.49 the most common and $11.49 next. Six servings at $12.49 is the $74.94 recorded here.
That makes it the only service on this ledger where your weekly cost depends on which recipes you clicked. Six servings at the top of the range is $86.94; six at the bottom is $36.00.
Shipping is not published. The clearest evidence that a fee exists is that Blue Apron sells a membership, Blue Apron+, on the promise of “unlimited $0 shipping fees”.
