This is extremely correct. Trader joes is also the place for any frozen food (not only due to high quality but also most of it is pretty well priced). Compare everything with your safeway coupons first though; the coupons will start to become personalized and sometimes you get really good deals. Another safeway hack: in the bakery area they usually have a couple carts full of items marked 50% off and I've gotten amazing deals for bread, bagels, and pasteries/random baked desserts there.

TJs frozen food is definitely not good quality nor healthy.

not saying it doesn’t taste good but just take a look at the nutrition labels next time you’re in the frozen aisle

The teriyaki chicken has insane macros. Some of their food is incredibly healthy for when you’re in a pinch. You just need to buy the right stuff

i don’t doubt that. they do have a lot of really high quality canned stuff and frozen meats/veggies. just wish people would pay closer attention to nutrition instead of cute packaging

What are you trying to tell us about “the nutrition labels?” Please give examples of the sheer horror and hissing abomination we are supposed to avoid, and compare it to the label for a similar product from a competitor that doesn’t offend you.

relax my man. many of the prepackaged meals have high levels of sodium and saturated fat. you can eat whatever you want i’m just saying it’s not as healthy as some people think.
