Yep - one more vote for "I'd prefer to do it myself". I'm not sure this type of place in exists locally.
I did a cooking class with my wife a couple of years ago and the chef running it said for him cooking is therapy. He does it because he loves it. He could think of nothing better than making his own chicken stock on a cold winters morning (he said the smell of cooking chicken wafting through the house was too good to pass up). I won't say I've gone that far, but I do enjoy cooking from scratch. Also, I rarely cook a recipe only once, so as long as the ingredients I'm buying don't go off really quickly, I don't see a problem with buying them.
Lastly - my wife says one of my strengths (cooking wise) is being able to see what I can cook with a set of given ingedients...
