I haven't seen the JOY frozen stuff, but I've purchased the Stouffers
brand "big family" frozen foods several times. They usually cost
around $8-12 and feed 6-12 people. They are excellent in taste and
quality, but I don't bother reading the nutrtitional information so I
don't know if they have lots of sodium and other stuff. OTOH, they
are great for when the kids are over unexpectedly and I haven't
planned for them, plus it's very seldom I use them. The enchiladas
are really good, and so is the lasagna.
