Frozen Egg Rolls?

Any recommendations for good decent quality frozen egg rolls?  I'd like to keep a pkg or 2 in the freezer for those unexpected egg roll emergencies.

I had a Whole Foods 365 egg roll night before last.  It was OK, perhaps nothing to write home about.

 

I'm not expecting greatness, just some crunch from the wrapper and an acceptable quantity and quality of filling. Thanks for jumping in.

Coincidentally, it happened today.   I made a batch of Chinese mustard and too late discovered that my egg roll stash was depleted.  Fortunately, the pole from the kitchen to the garage had recently been polished, and I quickly slid down to an already running and warmed car (gotta love today's car tech), pushed the garage door button (more tech), and headed to the nearby Chinese takeaway joint. Unfortunately, there was a long line waiting for their mediocre food, and it was moving slowly. I was getting anxious as the longer I waited the more the mustard flavor would be compromised. I became more anxious and agitated as the moments passed.

 

Fortunately, I had my Xanax locket with me, opened it, and downed a few of the precious pills. In short order, I was mellow again, and it didn't take long (Xanax time has a way of warping, could have been hours) before I was on the road home.

 

Unfortunately, road construction slowed my travel, and to my and the mustards detriment, I didn't care. By the time I got home, the effects of the Xanax were wearing off.  A few years ago I installed a liquor kiosk by the entrance door (replacing the unneeded umbrella stand which outlived its usefulness in drought-ridden California), reached in, grabbed a bottle of cheap cooking sherry, downed it with a long pull, and almost immediately felt a wave of calmness engulf me like a warm woolen comforter. Cheap cooking sherry has its benefits.

 

I checked on the mustard, and it looked good and tasted just fine. I reached for the egg rolls and $#!&, discovered that I left them at the Chinese joint. That was my most recent egg roll emergency.
