I don't use them.

I have in the past, but I'm trying to make more homemade meals and from scratch meals :)

The only things we use from a box are mac n cheese for lunch and rice mixes (when I want something other than plain jasmine rice).

We try to stick to foods that have been processed as little as possible. I cook and bake most of our food from scratch. After 4 years of not eating foods like Hamburger Helper and the like, we can't really stomach them anymore - it tastes fake and salty once you get used to real foods.

We use them maybe once a week. I like simple.

Its not a nightly thing with us, espeically when hubby is home. For one, it takes at least 2 to feed everyone and two, they aren't very healthy. I will fix one maybe once a week when he's gone though...just to take a break from cooking a huge meal every night or if I just need something quick.

I rarely use them because, use to when in school, because they just have too much sodium. I try to make more things at home, and discover new things to make from recipe sites.

I use them every once in awhile, but I'm trying to stop using them at all.   There are too many preservatives and nasty stuff in them.

What exactly are you talking about...... Like, the whole meal?  I may buy boxed mac&cheese, or rice, etc....   I try not to used boxed stuff, but sometimes it happens.  Now that hubby is home and I finally have someone to cook for I really want to try some new stuff, minus the boxed meals.

I do not buy them. I just do not like the taste of them.
