Lunch on the Go

At certain times of the year, things get very busy and making lunch for the week takes a back seat. Before WeightWatchers, I'd grab whatever for lunch - the machine, Subway or one of the local delis. But I'm eating within my points range now, so I've switched to buying frozen entrees (or occasionally canned soup) for lunch for those crazy times.

The problem is, some of them are lousy, some are okay, and some are quite good. And I tend to buy whatever brand is on sale, which means I keep buying the same lousy ones over and over again because I've fogrotten, or I get confused - is it Lean Cuisine's Sesame Chicken that I like, or Healthy Ones? Was it the Italian Wedding or the Chicken Tortilla soup that upset my stomach? (Frankly, I think they all use the same stock photography, which just worsens my confusion)

So as I try new entrees, I'll be be sharing my thoughts based on:
taste
quality
meets expectations/marketing
filling
value (note, that I rarely spend more than $2.50 on a frozen meal)

Obviously,, my thoughts are specific to my tastes and preferences, but hopefully that will help me build a list of good, okay and lousy, and perhaps be of use to someone else. I'll be labeling them as "food," so you can check my labels list to pull them all up.
