I will buy these occasionally for DS18....he still has a teenaged boy metabolism....the rest of us? Not so much....
Hell, maybe if I still played lacrosse I could afford a pot pie now and then - but those days are over. Too bad we can't console ourselves with a big bowl of Kellogg's Concentrate!
I get them for lunch at work but mostly the steamer bowls. Chicken preferably since the ones with beef have too much sodium. I prefer real food but they are cheap compared to going out.
I am not a friend of TV dinners, but I do have few in my freezer in a case of emergency ( sick, tired, lazy, bad weather, no time to cook etc)
Thats what I do, although technically not TV dinners but turkey/chicken pot pies. I've always got a few stashed away they are so cheap and I do enjoy them especially since can nuke 'em instead like old days with 45 minutes of oven time.
I remember years ago of buying Swanson TV dinners and then Banquet and back in the 70's or before they were pretty good, but now
They are not worth the $$.
Too salty and like nothing to them.
Maybe a Marie Calendar's or something else might be good but the "cheaper" ones I find are trash
Do you have a favorite brand etc?
HW
I buy Banquet frozen dinners quite a bit. It's easy to heat up, doesn't take a lot of time to eat and frankly, it's just to refuel myself while at work. No, they are not enjoyable but they are cheap and they stop the hunger. I can't see myself spending $3-$4 on a Marie Callendar's frozen dinner. It's all crap no matter what way you slice it.

when the kids were really young and daddy worked nights over the weekend, for a treat yes, since then:NO NO NO!! Actually in my working days I would keep a few Heathy choice entrees in the freezer and take them for lunch about every couple of weeks. I have purchased frozen meat balls a couple of times for a large fund raiser with over 100 people.
No, those things are gross. I do good to stomach frozen pizza from time to time let alone a TV dinner.
