Does Anyone Use Schwan's?

I do a lot of takeout and this seems like a pretty good alternative, delivered right to your door. Love their web site with customer reviews of all the dishes. Thoughts?

when i was inc ollege the truck would come by our apartments for one of the neighbors so we'd hit that shite up. the waffles, pizzas, and chicken wings are legit. and the birthday cake ice cream. fricking gained 5 pounds typing this but it was worth it.

I used to frick up their frozen pizzas back in high school.
Don't live at home with my parents now, so no.. I don't use Schwan's.

I saw a few weeks ago that they were closing down service in Louisiana,
BATON ROUGE, LA (KPLC) -
A longtime Louisiana business closed its doors Friday. Schwan's home delivery food company will no longer operate its food delivery service in Louisiana.
"The Louisiana project is pretty much being shut down at Schwan's at this point," said General Manager Randy Oliveri. "There won't be any depots open after today."
Employees on their last day did inventory on the foods left over. Offices all over the state, including Lake Charles, are shutting down.
An customer service operator for Schwan's home office said Friday the facility in Lake Charles was closed but customers could still order by mail. The phone number for a Schwan's facility in Jennings was also disconnected.
"Been out of a work before, took me nine months to find a job the last time," said Jimmy Thurston. "Hopefully it won't take me that long this time."
Richard Whiteoak has been on the delivery route for the past nine years. He says his customers were more than just an address.
"I'm a little sad to go," said Whiteoak. "When I started my route nine years ago, like other route managers, customers got to be like friends and family, so instead of a customer you get to go see a friend."
The company itself has been around for 55 years. It's based in Minnesota - a long way from Louisiana - which appears to be a big part of the closure.
"I think the economy versus shipping the product this far down, being the corporate office is in Marshall, Minnesota," said Oliveri.
The yellow trucks of Schwan's won't be rolling on Louisiana roads any more.

My friend used to work for them. My god the shite he would bring home was terrible. I can't believe the money some people would blow on frozen foods. It blew my mind.

My brother gave my parents about $250 worth of gift certificates from Schwann's. About the only thing they bought more than once was the frozen tortellini that my dad would make an Alfredo sauce for. Their entrees were pretty bland.
