Walmart sells individual meal kits and small meal kit bundles from popular services, allowing you to get the full experience without actually committing to a subscription. The kits come from a variety of services, including Home Chef, Sun Basket, and Takeout Kit, and are designed for two or four people. They start at just $29.99.If you can believe it, there are more than 100 meal kit delivery companies in the US. Even if you wanted to try a different one each week, it would take you at least two years to get through them all.While we've helped you avoid this unrealistic task by narrowing them down to the best onesand givingyou in-depth looks into a few (Blue Apron, Plated,Green Chef, and Home Chef), you might still hesitate because a meal kit subscription can be quite the commitment.To help you out, Walmart actually sells smaller meal kit sets from Home Chefand Sun Basketso you don't have to subscribe fully to either service, choose from an overwhelming selection of meals, or send constant reminders to yourself to skip or cancel your next delivery.In a section on Walmart's website, Meal Kits & Specialty Food Boxes, you can find individual meal kits and small meal kit bundles from popular services like Home Chef or Sun Basket, as well as from less well-known services like Takeout Kit, which specializes in international dishes.These kits are a great way to try a service you're interested in without spending as much money or committing to a long-term plan. The kits, designed for two or four people, range in price from $29.99 to $95.99, and offer a glimpse into the convenience, taste, and quality of each company.Though meal kit delivery companies always boast easy skip and cancellation policies, you've all been in this situation: You forget again and again to call or email the service to cancel your subscription, and you continue to auto-pay for it every month even when you don't actually want it anymore. You can completely avoid this common problem by ordering thela carte kits through Walmart.This design also prevent decision paralysis. You can only choose from a limited selection of meals rather than a full menu, or the meals are already pre-grouped for you. While it's always fun to browse a page full of delicious-looking dishes, it's also stressful to decide which ones you really want to spend your money on.All the kits ship for free, and you'd be ordering through a platform you're already familiar with. If you have a Walmart.com account, then all your payment, billing, and delivery information will be ready to go.If you want the complete experience of a meal kit delivery service without the complete commitment, check out Walmart's Meal Kits & Specialty Food Boxes page. The meal choices and services switch out every week, so while we can't direct you to specific dishes or services (for example, Home Chef and Sun Basket seem to take turns as the main "big name" meal kit company featured), we can recommend that you take a look at the section to find a variety of affordable meal kits.Shop meal kits and specialty food boxes at Walmart hereDON'T MISS:I tried ButcherBox, the service that sends you a month's supply of grass-fed meat ' here's what it was likeSEE ALSO:The best meal kit delivery services we've triedJoin the conversation about this story
