K, Here we go.
I once had a boss who told us how he could justify paying other people to do things for him compared to what he thought his hourly worth was. My husband cringes when I bring it up, but I think it's worth a thought.
So, say I conclude that I am worth $20+ an hour. I am employed and could do side-work for that much...so it seems reasonable. Making freezer meals on my own, I could possibly make 4 in an hour. So, it would take me at least 3-4 hours to make 12. Add in shopping time/grocery list planning and it's easily over 7 hours a month. So, that's $140+ of my time right there ;) I figure the actual food content of the dashing dishes meal is $10-$15, but we pay $20 (for the employees/hall rental etc. etc.)
So there ya go - 12 freezer meals - to do it all on my own - probably $150 of food + $150 of my labour.= $300+ Don't forget to add the exhaustion factor too!
Dashing Dishes - 12 freezer meals - $245
I should also note they have different meals every month, so it's not like you are eating the same thing all the time ;)
What do ya think?
See previous post if you don't know what dashing dishes is...

I love that idea... I just wish there was something like that in the Phoenix area.
Tell your husband that you can't put a price on your sanity. And if he doesn't like that, show him where the pots and pans are! Haha! I am glad you are finding things to make your life easier.
