So, we’re pleased to report the Black Friday meal kit deals of 2022 have officially started rolling out. Whether you’re looking to learn new recipes, cut down on takeout, save time on meal prepping, avoid schlepping to the grocery store, or order a thoughtful holiday gift that you don’t have to ship, now is the time to get in on these Black Friday deals.
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday 2022 arrives on November 25 (ahem, merely one week from now). Cyber Monday, then, falls on November 28. In addition to the Cyber Week-long deals you can nab on meal kits, these days will present ample opportunities to save on kitchen equipment, mattresses and bedding, fitness gear, beauty products, clothing, and much more, at top retailers like Amazon, Target, Nordstrom, Dyson, and Our Place.
