Is it all pantry foods or frozen? thanks (I'm a newbie here so hello to all).

Nutrisystem has their "Basic" plan, which is about $300/month and consists of all pantry foods, and their "Nutrisystem Select" plan, which is about $390/month consists of 1/2 pantry foods and 1/2 frozen. The price isn't horrendous when you consider it comes out to only about $3-4 per meal (not counting the time and money you'll be saving on groceries and preparing your meals), although granted you DO have to add your own fruits and vegetables (I just buy those in bulk from BJs or Costco).
IMO, the added cost of the frozen option is WELL worth it. The food is excellent. It's produced by Schwann, who have a very popular (non-diet) food mail order delivery service and they take their "gourmet" mindset into producing these foods. I like the 1/2 and 1/2, because the pantry foods, while less tasty, are definitely more substantial. I usually get their standard frozen package and then pick the foods I love from the pantry foods (scroll to the bottom of

Good luck!
