almost never.... i simply don't trust american food companies to do right by consumers and have their best interests (health) in mind. even though i now shop almost exclusively at smaller/specialty stores and read labels very carefully; if the ingredients are things i can't also buy in the same grocery store, it doesn't go in my basket..and that tends to apply mostly to those prepackaged foods/meals.
so yeah.. i usually wind up buying ingredients and make my own stuff. the store is 2 blocks away, so it's easy to pick up fresh stuff when i want to use it, and not need food filled with preservatives and other chemicals.
