My local SS's organic secion offers some of the same entrees offered by TJ and WF (albeit a very slim selection). Personally, with the exception of some Mexican offerings from TJ, the few I've had from WF and elsewhere were pretty awful, so I can't imagine the ones at local chains to be any worse. I still default to local ethnic grocers and their frozen foods, if I must go that route.

I find these more tolerable than most. The chicken tikka masal was much better than the tofu pad thai. The Porter Square Shaw's carries them. I can't remember about other locations.
