Packages & Pricing

Packages are tailored to your individual needs and tastes. We’ll work together to create one that works for you, your budget and your schedule. Listed below you'll find information about weekly or as-needed service, dinner parties and other events plus educational opportunities. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please contact me to discuss other options.

Generally, there are two packages available:

Fresh Service – Fresh Service is weekly service with access to the freshest ingredients and the best menu selection. Pricing is based on the number of menu items requested.
Fresh Frozen Service – Fresh Frozen Service is biweekly, monthly or as-needed service that includes all or some “freezer-friendly” menu items. Pricing is based on the number of menu items requested.

Each package includes:

Initial complimentary, no-obligation assessment in your home
Customized recipe research and meal planning
Grocery shopping on the day of service to maximize freshness
Use of my “Portable Pantry” which is stocked with items used in small amounts (dried herbs, mustards, vinegar, flour, salt, etc) designed to avoid purchasing excess grocery items at the client’s expense
Meal preparation in the safety of your own home
Meal packaging, labeling and storing of all menu items
Specific instructions for heating and serving
Kitchen clean up
On-going feedback of menu and services to ensure client expectations are satisfied and exceeded

Pricing for Fresh and Fresh Frozen Service starts at $275 and includes up to six servings of each menu item:

New for 2020! Thymely Gourmet is offering a Budget Option for up to 4 weekly clients. For individuals and small families who don't require as much food, this is a great option! Choose any 6 menu items for $275 (grocery costs are extra).
All other packages require a minimum of 8 menu items starting at $325 (grocery costs are extra).
Prices may vary depending on the number of menu items ordered and the needs and requests of each individual client.
Additional entrees, sides, baked goods and desserts can be added for a fee.

Food Storage Containers

During the initial assessment, we'll discuss container options and your preference as to how your food will be stored. Often I can use containers already in your home, but if you don't have enough containers or the proper sizes, I recommend sturdy plastic or glass Pyrex.

Payment Method

Payment can be made on our selected cooking day by cash, personal check, Venmo or bill pay through any major banking institution. I will have your invoice with me that includes our agreed upon fee plus the cost of groceries. There are no additional taxes or fees.

Special Diets

Thymely Gourmet has experience with many different types of diets: paleo, keto, vegan, vegetarian, South Beach, raw food, Mediterranean, Weight Watchers, Atkins, DASH, flexitarian and many others designed specifically for a variety of health conditions. Depending on the diet, the research involved and shopping requirements, an additional fee may be required.
