Store brand frozen veggies, fruits, and the like are comparable. I
know frozen pizza is, since it's one of the concessions I make for my
dd during the school months. Anything to keep her out of the cookie
box after school when she's hungry and not willing to work for her
food. She'll also eat yogurt (only yoplait whips) and apples, so it's
not all bad.

No problem with the unsugared cereals--don't know about the sweet
ones.

And while TJ's frozen bowl meals are actually healthier than the usual
ones, they taste like cr*p.

You did see, though, that TJ's food composition seems to have
changed, with one person mentioning much higher sodium levels than
had been the case?
