Pricing, packaging, policies.
Pricing is based on a flat service fee, with the cost of groceries kept as a separate charge. Average grocery costs vary with menu choices but generally do not exceed $100. Now if you’re the Caviar Queen or the Lobster Lady, we’ll adjust.
| Pick-a-plan | Number of meals | Packaged to Serve | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Plan 5 entrees / 5 sides |
20 | Family of 4: 5 meals Couple: 10 meals Individual: 20 meals |
$300 + groceries |
| Convenience Plan 4 entrees / 4 sides |
16 | Family of 4: 4 meals Couple: 8 meals Individual: 16 meals |
$265 + groceries |
| Meals on Hand Plan 3 entrees / 3 sides |
12 | Family of 4: 3 meals Couple: 6 meals Individual: 12 meals |
$230 + groceries |
Every meal includes a side dish appropriate to each entree.
There is a one-time fee for the purchase of reusable glass containers, such as Corning Ware or Pyrex. These are yours to own, and are specifically for our service. Depending on your family’s size and needs, the one time fee is between $70 and $100. If you prefer disposable containers, there is a $15 charge per cooking date. Uniform size containers take less storage space in your freezer. Entrees can be packaged family style, with 4 servings in one container. Or for couples, with two servings per container. Individuals may order every entree in its own container. Now if you need to use Aunt Bessie’s China Casserole Dish for her birthday dinner, we can arrange that too, on occasion.
Payment and Cancellation
Because the butcher requires payment up front, Chef Christine does too. The easiest time to pay is at our planning chat, or by mail before your cook date. Cash or check only please. You’ll receive an invoice indicating the credit or debit balance for the groceries purchased. (We try to save you money!)
The dreaded C word: Cancellation. Five business days notice prior to delivery are required to avoid a cancellation fee of $50. We want to keep our kitchen cooking!
