Every morning, nature presents a simple ultimatum: eat or die. Given the option, however, one should live to eat, not vice versa. The inexpensive and deliciously assembled food from The Dinner A'Fare will ensure that you live to relish your meals.

With today's Groupon, $57 gets you six healthy, pre-assembled meals (each serving two to three people, a $99 value) plus two sides (a $15 value) to cook at home from The Dinner A’Fare, a $114 total value. Cheaper than any meal you can assemble from store-bought ingredients, and all without the spice-aisle mulling, chopped-onion sobbing, burnt-rice scrubbing, and mixing-spoon bleaching that comes part and parcel with the normal kitchen skullduggery.

Take that convenience, and throw in the total ease of placing your order with The Dinner A'Fare, and you've got the simplest route to delicious, pre-assembled meals that you could ever want. Just pick your six meals from the menu, and email your single, combined order (you'll get the email address with your Groupon). When you stop by the South Park location, your food is fresh—each meal is assembled within 24 hours—and can be kept in the fridge to cook within a week or frozen for later use. If you order Wednesday through Saturday, a Stand-In-Chef is included for free.

Customers rave about how The Dinner A'Fare makes their lives easier with affordably delicious options. Check out the company's May menu, which has 15 entree options, including Vegas chicken with crabmeat succotash, Singapore pork satay, and parmesan tilapia. Your Groupon also entitles you to two sides total. You'll be happy to know that The Dinner A'Fare participates in the Sustainable Seafood Program to help fight environmentally destructive seafood harvesting and maintain the uneasy truce with Prince Namor of Atlantis. Customize ingredients according to your tastes or allergies—full nutritional information and cooking instructions are available online.

Reviews

Though customers of Charlotte's Dinner A'Fare locations are too busy savoring their mouthwatering, no-stress meals to write online user reviews, Dinner A'Fare's Northside Drive and Northlake locations in Atlanta have perfect five-star ratings on Citysearch:

• We are seriously blown away at the quality of the meals. We just had meal 11 of 12 of our first delivery and there hasn't been a bum meal yet. Easy to assemble and the cooking times are very precise. – crumbaugh
• I have saved so much time and money by getting meals from A Dinner A'fare...Many of the dishes seem like something I would order at a restaurant... As a busy professional, student, wife, and mother, I can at least know that my family will have a good meal to eat at dinnertime and we're not picking things up (fast food) on the run. – busybee1
• This place is great! This is how I serve almost every meal to my family now. Our grocery bills have been cut dramatically...we couldn't make these dinners ourselves for this price. – MaryHadley
