Get More Value from Every Dollar

Daily Challenge

Being frugal with your food budget can be a challenge, especially when you have children.  Add the importance of a healthy diet and top that with a busy work week!

Budgeting, health, and convenience don’t always go together.  More often than not they’re pulling in opposite directions!

The Joys of “Letting Someone Else Make Dinner”

According to the US Department of Labor, Americans spend over $2,698 per year on meals away from the home (that’s over $224 per month!).  It makes sense.  Fast food, sit-down, and take-out restaurants are designed and marketed to be fast and convenient. The question is, are you getting a good value?  Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation says “The food looks like food that you would make in your kitchen, but it actually has become a manufactured commodity. Today they are made in large factories. Some of the ingredients (oils and fats) are highly processed and very fatty.”  Do you know what went into that cheeseburger, soft taco or pasta Alfredo?  (Don’t worry, we won’t go there).

The fact is that more families are eating out because of necessity, not pleasure.   Family schedules are busier than ever and creating home-cooked dinners isn’t always an option.

Leave it to… June Cleaver

It wasn’t long ago when June Cleaver spent (what seemed like the entire day) making dinner for Ward, Wally and Beaver on the classic show “Leave it to Beaver”.  But times have changed!  Many of us are too busy to throw on an apron and create a healthy, home-cooked dinner every night.  June had time to go to the local grocery store, pick out choice ingredients, and spend hours creating dinner masterpieces. You can bet that she used natural ingredients full of nutritional value. Her “boys” enjoyed home-cooked dinners in the comfort of their home every night.  Times have definitely changed.

Dinner Studio Value

We created Dinner Studio to provide a healthy and convenient alternative for San Diegans.  Every Dinner Studio dinner is made with natural ingredients (that’s the food value), they’re inexpensive (dollar value), and designed to fit into your busy schedule.  Imagine getting value out of every calorie you and your family consume, at a price that fits your budget, and it’s delivered right to your front door.  No need to use your imagination, that’s Dinner Studio!
