Overview
For those times when you don't want to cook, there's nothing like a ready-to-heat-up complete meal. Enjoy exploring this list of fresh, ready-to-eat meal delivery services, selected for their moderate prices, low delivery costs (when ordering in quantity), and variety. They are presented in order from modest-budget providers to more gourmet purveyors. (Be sure to check current pricing). Note: Many sites contain nutritional and other medically-oriented health information.
Mom’s Meals (877-508-6667) — Dedicated to delivering refrigerated meals to your home, this service offers meals for as low as $7.99. There is a delivery charge of $15, but you can order between 10 and 21 meals at a time with only one delivery charge. Many healthcare plans will pay the delivery charge — Mom’s Meals can help you figure out if you're eligible. The service also has a free-meals program, which is dependent on whether one is using Medicare to cover the costs of treatment for a physical challenge.
