Here in New Jersey they go for $3.99 each, which is what I would pay for lunch if I went to the local cafe or Subways. When they are on sale I stock up though!

But if you <i>like</i> Banquet dinners, that's great. I personally like ramen noodles for lunch at least once a week, so I know what you mean, Charles.
