The Kroger Irony
Home Chef is owned by Kroger. This means:
Kroger stores sell Home Chef meal kits: $15-22 per kit (2 servings) = $7.50-11/serving
Kroger store-brand meal kits: $10-16 per kit = $5-8/serving
No subscription required: Buy when you want, skip when you don't
No shipping cost: Pick up during your regular grocery run
Available at: Kroger, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, King Soopers, Fry's, QFC
You're paying a subscription premium for the same company's products that are cheaper at their own stores.
Better Alternatives
Kroger in-store meal kits ($5-8/serving): Same brand, no subscription, 30-40% cheaper

Dinnerly ($5.49-6.99/serving): Budget meal kit with digital recipe cards (no printed cards saves cost)
Grocery meal prep ($3-5/serving): Buy ingredients yourself, use free recipes from Budget Bytes or YouTube
Costco prepared meals ($4-7/serving): Pre-marinated proteins, family-sized, no subscription
💡 The Savings Math: • Home Chef subscription (couple, 3x/week): $3,100/year • Kroger in-store kits when you want them: $1,800/year • Grocery meal prep: $900/year • Switching from Home Chef to groceries saves $2,200/year
