If it's part of normal meals, and not too expensive for everyday, it
could be more on the "need" list for us... And some things just never
have a coupon, so a sale is sufficient, even if only a "want"... :)

 ->  RH> It's OK but nothing to write home about.

 RH> I've had a few of them, but checked the salt content before buying. 
 RH> The  General Paul's Chicken was about the best in that department.  

Within reason, we don't worry too much about the salt content... when I
cook, I don't use salt, hardly at all... so the occasional prepared meal
that is overly salted only tends to balance things out...  Neither of us
really needs to watch sodium intake...  Next coupon or sale we'll try
another flavor...  ;)

 RH> Yep. I remember that one.  

Four cheese crackers tend to have blue cheese as one of the cheeses...
maybe because it imparts a "cheese" flavor, even dried...?  I remember a
white cheese popcorn snack that bleu cheese was one of the ingredients,
even though it only claimed to be white cheddar popcorn...  ;)
