In fact, a recent survey revealed that 62% of Americans polled are purchasing frozen items for dinner – more than any other daypart – and 51% are buying items packaged as a side dish – more than those purchasing entrées.
All varieties of STOUFFER’S Sides will be available at grocery stores and retailers nationwide – including Meijer, Publix, and Target – beginning in April for an MSRP of $4.49 (16 oz) and $6.99 (24 oz), prices may vary by retailer.
