If you’ve never tried Let’s Dish, it is a great way to see if you like it. My sister and I went several times and enjoyed not having to lug groceries home, put them away, pull them out again to assemble meals, etc. Instead, we showed up, prepared food that was already right there on the counter (or underneath in the cooler) and caught up on family news in a nice place filled with grownups. Cooking the meals is easy and fast and is much more home cooked and healthy than fast food.
Now, the drawbacks are that a really good shopper could probably do better on price per meal and that some of the dishes weren’t quite to our taste. Of course, coupons and discounts can get you a bit better deal. Also, once you know your family didn’t enjoy something, you can just pick a different item from your next session’s menu and I’ve experimented with new recipes on my own that didn’t turn out too great, too. Overall, we did like Let’s Dish and would have gone again if our nearest location would have remained open.
So, if you are a new mom and have a location near you, I’d say it is definitely worthwhile to stop in for your free meal.
