When I find something I love and am passionate about, I can't help but to tell everyone I know. It's just what I do. (and most likely one of the top reasons publishing Macaroni Kid is such a great fit for me) Dream Dinners Arvada is one of those "things". I discovered Dream Dinners Arvada about 5 months ago and have been using the service to feed my family consistently since then. Every meal I have put on our table has suited my family in all aspects -- from taste, to portion size, to convenience and price. Dream Dinners is absolute perfect fit.
I placed my first order because I was needing to simplify. Running a business, kids home learning, everyone around at all times - something had to give. Now that I am several months in, I'm seeing the positive impact on our food budget. The fact that I am making fewer trips to the grocery store and we are getting take out less often makes a difference... but I wanted a comparison to see the numbers for myself. After extensive research, I've proven my theory. Now I am happy to share the results with you!
I'm saving around $100 per month and gaining over 6.5 hours of valuable family time by using Dream Dinners Arvada!
To get my stats, I searched Allrecipes.com for similar recipes, then turned to my favorite grocery store's app to find prices for each ingredient. Of course these numbers are my estimates as I chose items and the brands I would normally purchase for my family.
Check out my results! I've got the full spreadsheet ready for you to see too, just click here.

This was a fun exercise for me. It shows how much money I saved using Dream Dinners Arvada's meal service in January in comparison to what I would have spent shopping, prepping and cooking meals myself. What I've also learned... how much extra family time I gained. What my spreadsheet doesn't account for is how much time I would have spent meal planning and going to the grocery store. With Dream Dinners, it's as simple as moving meals from the freezer to fridge at the beginning of the week, then it's just grab and cook at meal time.
It's the perfect solution for a busy family like mine. My instincts say Dream Dinners is the perfect solution for a family like yours as well!
