Does anyone use Schwans for ordering and having food delivered?

I was thinking of going to Let's Dish and preparing meals before my new baby is born, but then saw Schwans has entrees too that they deliver to you. Just not sure if they're any good and if the quality is there.

Any experiences?

Thanks.

It's not bad. A friend of mine in college used to have a bunch of Schwans from her parents.

I've used Schawn's for years and last fall I ordered from "Dinners Done". Having prepared for two arrivals I've always done a Dinners Done, or similar when I lived in Seattle. Schwan's isn't as cost effective for what you trying to achieve and a lot of the prepared meals are high in sodium. However, Schwan's is great for frozen veggies and some other things. If it were me, I'd go for Let's Dish or Dinners Done for the main meals and fill in with other things from Schwans. Oh and congrats on your impending arrival!

Thanks for the responses (and congrats)...I think I'll stick with Let's Dish or another "dishing" company.

We had Schwann's all the time while growing up, and I still have my parents order several items for me. Like the other poster mentioned, their frozen foods are great. We would generally order frozen vegetables, frozen snack foods, and their frozen desserts like the strawberry bars.

I wouldn't rely on them for full meals, but they have a great selection of quick meals for busier nights. Their frozen pizzas are awesome, as well as most of their frozen snack food, and I order them often for food to eat during football games or a saturday afternoon snack.

I've tasted some Schwan's and they are okay. I regularly do Dinner Done and love it.

Just FYI, Dinner Done is offering free delivery two times this month. The first time was last weekend to specific areas like Ashburn, Brambleton, etc. This Saturday, they will be going to Fairfax, Burke, Woodbridge, Springfield. It's a good deal.
