Frozen Friday - Mama Mancini's Beef Meatballs in Italian Sauce

Mama Mancini's Beef Meatballs in Italian Sauce comes with 8 meatballs in a simple marinara sauce. According to the package, it's all natural and made from antibiotic-free beef, which would explain why the only place nearby me that carries them is Whole Foods.

Whole Foods had this for $8.99, which is on the pricey side as it tends to be closer to $7 at other supermarkets (that don't happen to be anywhere near me). Fortunately, I had a coupon from the company for a free one. Unfortunately, it only covered the cost up to $6.99, so this ended up costing me $2 plus tax.
