Back To The Real World

Food costs have risen, we've been hit with fuel surcharges for food deliveries, you name it, it's gone up! SCREEECHH!!!! Time for a reality check. Since we can't control everything, we have come to the conclusion that as much as we love you, we can't just give away the store...so, for now, the "rock bottom" sale is over. Now, don't get alarmed. We will still have special offers, give aways etc., but we have to cool it a little. Check out our May menu. We offer ever-delicious dinners that are geared more and more to warmer weather. Our values save our guests, on average, $188 or more each month on their grocery bills. Also, don't forget that you will receive an automatic $30.00 volume reward (that's a discount!) for purchasing 12 dinners that each feed six, (72 servings). We will continue to offer free dinner assembly. If this is a service you need, it's there. When ordering, simply note your preference in the Special Instructions part of your order form.

Alas, the real world encroaches...but Dream Dinners is still a fabulous value-packed way to spend some of your food dollars. We know you will agree. Check out our May menu to see what's cookin' this month.

Low Prices and Free Assembly?

This offer is no longer available!

Sometimes, life gets crazy with all we have to do and things have gotten out of hand lately at the grocery store, wouldn't you agree? Have you priced milk lately? Chicken? Gas, to buy the darn things? What are we to do? Well, if you are like the rest of us, you are short on time and lately, shorter on cash, not to mention patience. You want what you want and you want it fast. Well, we heard you. After perusing the results of our latest survey, we are introducing package pricing that should take some of the calculation time out of choosing among our dinners. At our store, you can choose from packages to suit your needs. Our original a la carte menu is absolutely still available on dreamdinners.com but if you would like to order our packages, here's the lowdown:

12 dinners, each serving 6 (72 servings)- $239.00
Each additional dinner $19.86

6 dinners, each serving 6 (36 servings)- $135.00
Each additional dinner $22.50

3 dinners, each serving 6 (18 servings)- $73.00
Each additional dinner $24.33

12 dinners, each serving 3 (36 servings)- $135.00
Each additional dinner $11.25

6 dinners, each serving 3 (18 servings)- $73.00
Each additional dinner $12.16


This pricing is available for a limited time and you must request "package pricing" to receive the special pricing. Please remember that if you are generally choosing 3-serving dinners, 6-serving only dinners count as two dinners. You may mix and match between 3- and 6- serving dinners. Each additional dinner outside the package price is calculated at the package rate. Please choose only one of each dinner per order. Choosing multiples of more expensive dinners will result in a higher price. These package prices cannot be combined with any other discounts.

Our session calendar is available to help you find a time to come in and assemble your meals. To help you out even further, should you find you don't have time and you need assembly, it's included in our pricing for a limited time.

Now, the only other thing you need to do is register on our site at dreamdinners.com if you have not already done so. There. Is that simple? We live to please you, so give us a call at (904) 886-3123. Package pricing saves you about 15% or more off a la carte and assembly is included. It just can't get any easier.
