I was at my local Shaws supermarkets about 3 months ago and they were having a remodelling sale. I picked up about 40 Budget Gourmet dinners because they were 3 for a Buck. So its was mega cheap. I only use them as side dishes.. and they actually taste decent. (they are mostly pasta and chicken)

Anyway, i go thru about 3 of these a week, as side dishes :D

6 or 7 but then I go through like 10 microwave chimichangas too. When I was in college maybe 15 or 20 a week.

Instant grat. When I get home from work I don't want to spend time to prepare meals when all I really want to do is eat. That and I don't particularly like sandwiches so all I really eat are microwave meals.

0 We (wife and I) cook our own meals, though on bad nights that means mac and cheese or chili. We still have not resorted to tv dinners yet, thats why we have a freezer full of steaks, chicken breasts, and pork chops.

I used to eat tons of them. Then Donovan McNabb and his mom came to my house and and brought me some Campbells soup. So, I eat soup now instead.

Probably about 10-15 a week. In fact, I'm eating a Boston Market country fried chicken one right now. Fast food is too expensive, and you really can't beat TV dinners for ease of preparation. Even if some of them do taste like crap, others really aren't that bad.

You can find some that aren't that bad for you and don't taste horrible but, there aren't many and those are usually the more expensive ones anyway, so you might as well get a sub or something.
I eat probably .5 a week
