Woman eats Lean Cuisines every day

Over at The Hairpin, co-editor Jane Marie discovered a huge sale on microwavable Lean Cuisine meals for $1 — frozen pastas and pizzas and crusted fish to last a frugal gal for quite a long time.

And then she started eating the frozen meals and realized how unappetizing microwaveable food can be. (Guess what, you can cook fresh food in bulk and eat for a week for the same price, and it won't have that processed, freezer burn taste.)

But we can still learn from Jane Marie's Lean Cuisine binge. After a week, she discovered that fish, rice and Mexican Lean Cuisines were tastier than the pasta and pizza related ones.

We still think that most manufactured frozen meals are gross. Frozen vegetables on the other hand: pretty tasty.
