    One thing I can say about the birds eye is that the broccoli is full of 'stumps' and we tend to throw a lot of it away.

    I'll dance with ya! Any kind of free veggies is a bonus - and I also like the green beans with almonds!!



    (LOL, how appropriate! Little green tree like guys dancing!)

    MJ - the reg BE, the blue bag? Yup, terrible broccoli!! Almost no florets in the bag!!! We usually use 2 bags, and remove the excess stumps, just to get enough florets for us.

    I can't remember the color of the bag. I thought it was white - it's the ones that you have to put into a steamer or pot (you can't throw the whole bag in the microwave). What a waste of $$.
    One company makes a chopped broccoli that is excellent - it is ALL florets cut very nicely. The next time I go into the freezer section, I'll try to find out which one it is exactly. I know it to see it.
    I also like to buy fresh broccoli when it is .99/head and freeze it. I just rinse it, drain, chop, let dry and pitch into a freezer bag. When some of the teeny, tiny florets fall of, I keep them and sprinkle on top of a cheap pizza (er, one of the ones on sale this week!). Kids love it, extra taste and extra veggies for their little bellies!

    I LOVED THE CHOPPED BROCOLLI!!!! lol We must have similar tastes!! I think it is BE in the blue box, but I haven't bought it in a while and forget too! That's a great idea for the fallen florets! I'd have to fib to my boys and tell them its parsley or something - they love brocolli but are funny about what foods go together!

    I think it was two weeks ago (maybe 3) the BE veggies were on sale 10/$10 and there were .50/1 Qs available making them free. Then, with every 5 you bought, you got $5 worth of Steeler bucks to spend.

    This week they are 5/$8 and there are .50/1 Qs available, so not free, but cheap.
    You end up with 5 bags for $3. This sale should end Wed (I haven't seen the ad starting 11/5 yet).

    HTH
