That being said, Stouffer's lasagna followed me through much of my undergraduate years.

That must have been frightening. Glad you finally gave it the slip.

What are some good brands for pre-made meals? I know they're not too healthy, but I'm sure some are better than others.

I have the money to buy expensive grocery products so I want to keep some food in the fridge/freezer/cabinets that don't require any cooking. I normally eat out for at least 2 meals of the day(I typically eat breakfast, 1 big lunch, 1 medium lunch, and a tiny dinner) and although I haven't been eating too well, I've actually lost weight since I started college. I live with my parents and I usually spend an average of $30 a day on eating outside food.

Anyway, what are some good grocery items I can pick up that don't need to be cooked? It's fine if they're a little bit on the expensive side. I know grocery stores sell things like cooked chicken, but what else is there?

Lean Pockets, FTW! I will sometimes eat one or two as a meal.

I only fell for that twice. :redface:
