Intervention costs
We anticipated providing 2,940 meals per group across the study period (35 participants, two meals per day, three people in the household, 14-days), therefore expected costs are presented as though all 2,940 meals were selected and actual costs are presented based on how many meals were selected. Across the two grants that funded this project, we budgeted $13,000 for meal kit supplies and ingredients or $4.42 per meal. Supplies (e.g., recyclable bags, printed recipes) for bundling the meal kits totaled $174.86 USD. Groceries cost $5,229.34 USD for a total expenditure of $5,404.20 USD. 2,106 servings were selected in the meal kit group across participants, for an actual total cost of $2.57 per meal. Without a donation from the no-prep meal distributor, expected costs were $20,580.00 USD or $7.00 per meal. With a donation of 50% of the initial 2,940 meals, expected costs at the outset of the study were $10,290.00 USD or $3.50 per meal. Replenishments of popular no-prep meals were purchased in the last three-weeks of the study for an additional $1,932 USD, and expected costs rose to $12,222.00 USD or $4.16 USD per meal. 2,296 no-prep meals were selected, therefore actual costs were $5.32 per meal. Replenished meals are indicated with a dollar sign symbol in Table
