Sounds pretty cool. After ingredients he is probably paying 100 dollars. That's between 2 and 3 dollars a meal, which is about right for something made from far

However, for 100 dollars I could probably order out to a set of restaurants to eat for a week. (5 orders of 2 dishes each, should be 20 per an order. That leaves me with 10 restaurant meals which would be about as much food as 12-15 meals from his cook, I suspect). Still, deciding what I want each time, calling, paying the delivery guy... that takes more time.
- sobriquet 18y ago>>After ingredients he is probably paying 100 dollars. That's between 2 and 3 dollars a meal, Uh, fuzzy math? He's paying $60/week + food, so $100/week would be more like $7/meal (assuming breakfast isn't a fully cooked meal since eggs/pancakes don't cook so well). Would be $15/meal if he's only talking dinners. Still seems like a good deal considering the time he saves, and I'd like to have a mother's cooking rather than my own feeble attempts :)
- sidsavara 18y agoI think you are both right - it is a few bucks a meal for food, but when you factor in the labor costs into the total of what I actually end up paying, it is in the range of 5-10 a meal based on the week - some weeks I get shrimp, some weeks it's turkey! This week (first batch), it's Greek food! Kabobs and some salad. No idea what's coming Friday =)
