The grand total for that order-16 servings per week, less than the maximum order from HelloFresh-is $127.84. At that level, you get the lowest price per serving-$7.99-plus you get free shipping, which kicks in once you subscribe to three recipes per week, whether it's for two- or four-serving kits. The maximum you can order from Blue Apron is two boxes, each of which holds four, four-serving meal kits. That is less than the minimum spend with HelloFresh. That will get you two, two-serving meal kits (again, excluding premium meals) at $9.99 per serving, plus $7.99 shipping.

The minimum spend with Blue Apron is $47.95 per week. As with most meal kit services, the more you order, the lower your cost per serving will be. There's no free shipping with HelloFresh, but you do get a better rate on larger orders.

Add $8.99 shipping, and you get a grand total of $200.75. If you avoid premium meals with their extra charges, those meals will cost you $7.99 per serving, totaling $191.76. The maximum you can order is six, four-serving meals. That gets you two, two-serving meals at $11.49 per serving plus $8.99 shipping. The minimum spend for HelloFresh is $53.94 per week.
