About the 1-person meal boxes
Only a few meal boxes on the market are specifically designed for one person. More often, you see meal boxes for two people or more. For many suppliers, delivering a complete family box is more logistically and financially advantageous than smaller portions. That’s why you’ll notice that the prices for single-serving meals are often higher than for meal boxes intended for multiple people.
Cost-saving options
To reduce the cost per meal, you may consider ordering the meal box more frequently per week, thus getting more meals each time. Another way to save costs is by opting for a meal box for two people and spreading the meals over several days.
Providers of single-serving meal boxes
Among others, Gousto offers specific boxes for one person, while with providers like Factor, you can choose freshly prepared meals by chefs that you need to heat up. A meal box for one person is also ideal—then you can order multiple dishes directly and, for example, freeze some for later.
