My family and I have used them before, and it really depends on the individual item. Some of them taste great and are worth having in the freezer for just the reason you stated--you need a quick, easy dinner. Others, however....... well, let's just say that not all of them would receive such praise.
I would say to try a few of the ones that seem of interest to you, and if you like it and it doesn't seem absurdly expensive to you, go ahead and keep one of them on hand. If not, lesson learned, and you don't need to get it again. Keeping a few ready meals (whether pre-packaged or something you made yourself) is very useful, especially if you have irregular hours or just don't plan ahead well (I think we're all guilty of this sometimes).
One last consideration on these type of meals.... Sodium content tends to be through the roof, so be conscious of that, and I recommend drinking PLENTY of water with those meals to get the extra salts through your system ASAP.
