Dashing Dishes - Justifying the cost

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...

Just wanted to share this with any other busy moms who are looking for some meal sanity ;)

DASHING DISHES

I did my first one last month and sure think it is GREAT! You make 12+-ish freezer meals in about an hour and a half...So far it's been soooo easy and yummy too!!

I can justify the cost....I will have to do the math for you in another post.

So,
I have to post this. Why? Cuz I'm a mac geek. And, although I'm not an obama-obsesser etc. etc. I found this quite interesting. I mean, if macs hit the whitehouse, will we finally see less PC's in our lives? Here's hoping...
