What to know before you order a Thanksgiving meal kit delivery
You’ll need to create an account with the brand of your choice in order to view and order their Thanksgiving offerings. And in some cases, like with Purple Carrot, you’ll need to be an existing meal plan subscriber. With most meal plans you can cancel at any time, so you’d be able to ditch these deliveries post-holiday—just make sure you remember to cancel!
