pre-packaged meals
I was out grocery shopping today and went through the frozen food section. I noticed the prepackaged meals of things like Fetuccine Alfredo and pot roast and a lot of the things you might normally cook at home. Prices ran in the 8 to 12 dollar range I believe. I think most of these meals are intended for a family of four. I never buy any of this stuff because we cook a lot at home from scratch and enjoy doing so.
I believe I can make the equivalent meal at home for far less, in fact, I know I can. The time saving option is a consideration of course. These meals look like TV dinners on steroids. Does anyone buy these meals and is it worth it to you. Also, do they taste similar to their homemade counterparts. I'm asking because I wouldn't mind stashing a few of these away in the freezer for a busy day or short notice on unexpected guests.
