Dear Michelina,
I wasn't expecting much when my local grocery store did a 10 for 10 deal on your frozen meals, but I ponied up a 10 spot all the same. Sometimes a deal that looks to good to be true is still just a good deal that cynics miss out on!
I cooked up some Chicken Alfredo meal along with some little egg roll things (yeah, not something I would normally eat together either!). I didn't expect to be filled up for a measly two bucks! The other cool thing is the next day I was only slightly hungry so a quick mac & cheese snack just hit the spot! $1 is bit steep for simple mac & cheese, but sometimes you just pay for convenience.
Anyway, as long as these meals stay so cheap I will continue eating them. I hate when a product is introduced, I get to liking it, then it goes way up in price. This is what happened to me with Diet Rock Star Energy drink. I loved the stuff when it was a buck a can, but once they hit two bucks a can I knew they were just trying to screw me and take advantage of my burgeoning addictions.
You guys won't do this, will you?
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen

My reaction:
I’ll go on the record as liking TV dinners. It’s a guilty pleasure. They’re cheap and easy. What’s not to like? This said….
What are you reading this site for? There’s a funnier letter up on @stinginthetail’s website Sting in the Tail. I also have a guest post on @tweet_fail’s site Twitter Fail Blog titled “The Secret to Fewer Followers.”
