By the way... if you really eat that stuff, you should stop. :-) It's all total crap, including the "healthy" stuff. Processed and full of preservatives. Go fresh... it's usually cheaper too. I make my own frozen dinners for easy use later on... it's much cheaper and much better tasting and much better for me.

Actually I was a frozen food manager for Wal-Mart for a few months, back when I was in retail management....and the across the board margin for the frozen food department was 20%. So they make alot more than a few pennies on those pizzas.
Of course at this time I was young and single and shopped at the place closest to my house....never really paid attention to prices back then so I don't know if it was always this drastic of a difference.
