    I caved and bought 25 boxes of the various Banquet frozen entrees. Mainly for DD but I might try one just to see....They are on sale at NF for .88 each, also Giant Tiger has them for the same price, but they have a 5 package limit.

    I have not tasted one yet cinpow, I tossed ( well actually it was like a game of Tetris squeezing them in ) the bunch of them into the freezer, I'll ask DD what they are like later tonight.

    Don't forget you can take them out of the cardboard packages to save space. Just do 5 and eat those first. I tape the cooking instructions to the food item.
    LF rice crackers, granola bars,any oj

    hahaha.... the "squeezing in" part made me laugh!!! Seems like I'm not the only one "squeezing" stuff into my freezer these days lol (not so funny though, cause I have 2 freezers Lol)

    OMG Walk, thank you for sharing as I didn't know about those one. My DH like to eat those once in awhile and now he will have to try this one. For that price it is worth it. Thank you.........................

    Oh, lucky you! GT has them on sale here for 1.50.
    My fave is the fried chicken - but they haven't had it lately.
    They are totally comparable to Swanson, or any other frozen dinner.
    (note - I always add a bit of margarine to veggies and potatoes, as well as s+p)

    I've had all the ones you pictured - the nuggets one was a bit of a surprize since it came with mac 'n cheese, which was actually quite good.

    Wow. That was a very fun brag. Especially stuffing boxes in the freezer like a tetris game thing...... i do the same thing, and sometimes my freezer gets so full that i pull out everything, take them out of the boxes andthen start stuffing them in again..lol

    Do let us know how they taste? I may try a box depending on your comments.

    Nat, I cooked up the turkey dinner one tonight to try one, and man did I ever laugh! I mean it tasted o.k. but the two thin slices of turkey " meat " on top of the tablespoon of dressing, teensy mashed and peas portions were so funny! Guess DD will be enjoying these, I'd have to eat 2-3 to feel full. The price was sure right though.

    and some companies increase their prices in the name of smaller portion sizes a.k.a healthier snack size. Lol

    But it taste alright right? I mean at this price point, I will just nuke a few different flavour (2-3 boxes, I did that to Stouffer's or any other frozen dinner anyway). Never heard of this brand, so thanks for posting.

    yup, the flavour was just fine. Could have been worse. You know I never knew about this brand either before this?
