Even though Lowes Foods is the ultimate place to shop for groceries (a.k.a. our new favorite chore when you can shop with beer-in-hand), sometimes the days slip through our fingers and on the way home from the gym, we realize there’s nothing in the fridge.

Meet: Ready Set Supper, Lowes Foods’ new ingredient-and-recipe meal box (similar to Blue Apron or Hello Fresh – but better).

Food is prepped with Lowes Foods’ Pick & Prep, and Spice Bazaar gives you pre-measured ingredients so you don’t even have to think about all the extras – like whether or not you have a bizarrely tiny amount of garlic at home.

Plus: If you’re huge fans of A Chef’s Life like us, they’ll feature one box per month designed by Chef Vivian Howard.

The perks:

🍲 Order + pick up in as little as two hours

🥕 Often features local ingredients

💻 No subscription to remember to cancel or skip

💵 No minimum orders

📦 No box sitting on your porch all day while you are at work
