13 Food Subscription Services on Sale Right Now, Because It’s Not Just You—Groceries Have Gotten More Expensive

No, it’s not your imagination—grocery prices are going up. As are, most notably, gas prices and other commodities being impacted by the war in Ukraine. Food and beverage costs have been steadily rising before the sanctions, though. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that inflation on groceries was increasing at its fastest rate in decades as of January 2022, up 7.4 percent in January compared to 2021.

If you’re looking to pinch some pennies and put some time back in your day, might we recommend a grocery or meal kit subscription?

Skip the trip and put some cash back in your wallet with these grocery subscription sales happening now. Scroll to shop and find the perfect plan for you and your family, no matter your tastes or timeline.
