best grocery store to buy meals that you can just warm up at home?

How did your DH taste?

Depends on your household's size and income.
Family of 3, or with tiny kids, and HHI<$300k, TJ.
Family with teens, Costco.
HHI>$300k or DINK, Wegmans or Whole Foods.
HHI>$400k, pay a home chef to shop and cook a few days' worth of meals in your kitchen.
HHI<$200k and kids, Aldi or Lidl have a bunch of frozen family meals that are better/more interesting than traditional grocery stores.

Personally I long for the days my next door neighbor would travel and have trouble canceling her meal delivery service, and would ask me to pick it up off her porch as a favor and do as I wish with it. Delicious, no work at all, free. Kid loved it. Factor X.

A Rotisserie chicken is a wonderful thing

People often say that, but beyond being cheap, they taste terrible
