Great find. +1 also.

800 bucks?

wow.

I budget about 150 a month for all groceries, and that product doesn't even include liquid purchases. I think I'd rather have the 20 year shelf life of the 80-dollar 275 meal pack... now after I eat half of that, I might feel different, but we'll cross that bridge later

The difference is in the content of the 2. The 75 dollar one seems to be soups and the 800 dollar one is freeze dried food. 800 dollar is out of my budget but probably is a deal for those who would buy such items off the shelf.

Why buy all this freeze dried and dehydrated stuff when you can simply buy a few extra cans of beans, tomatoes, corn, chili, soup, etc/etc/etc... every time you go to the grocery store. Eventually you will end up with a big stockpile of food that you ACTUALLY enjoy eating because you are buying more of what you ACTUALLY use under normal periods. I don't believe in buying a pile of stuff and hiding it under the stair for when the SHTF, for me its more the theory of buy what you eat, eat what you store. Simply rotate it through from oldest to newest, eating the oldest first. We have cases of stewed tomatoes, canned corn, soup, kidney beans, blah blah blah. All the normal brands that we eat during a normal week. We know how to cook with it because we cook with it every week. Those who store dehydrated or raw goods need to learn how to cook with that stuff and work it into their menus.

BTW, if you are storing food you may also want to store toothpaste, deodorant, cleaning supplies, shampoo, toilet paper, etc etc etc

I think this can't be said enough. I see no advantage to buying some "emergency ration" that you're going to use at some distant time for the price often asked. You could buy your own bulk items for a lot less and seal them yourself or just buy extra in your regular shopping. Buy it cheap and stack it deep! This is not to say I don't have MREs sitting there...it's just that you want to have your learning curve a little ahead of a SHTF scenario, be it an ice storm, work loss, or quarentine.

I'm in total agreement with you on this one. Practicality (cheapness) dictates to me to buy the regular rations in quantity and rotate, rotate, rotate. Plus the soaps, I add aspirins and normal medicines to the mix.

Great advice melensdad, 4sarge and Dr Falken

Besides that fact that there will be a learning curve for the above items, they will require water some of it alot, and in a SHTF occasion water may be in short supply depending on the circumstance.

Condensed soup can get buy with as little as 3-4 ounces of water, a freezed dried mountain house 2 person meal 16 ounces, to make beans way more than that.

Take 10-15 dollars a week extra and buy some extra cans of food a week, Spaghetti O's, Chunky soup, Spam, vegetables ect.. ect..

Freeze dried foods in Mylar bags and items in plastic buckets are just a mouse nibble away from being ruined, cans gonna screwed with their teeth!

Leave the MRE's as a emergency on the run meal.

we have a case of water bottles, a case of beer, a few boxes of wine and a spare 40 w/ 300 rnds in our storm shelter too. candles, batteries, matches, TP, paper towels, emergency toilet w/ enuf bags for a week, some space blankets, a camp stove w/ a few propane bottles and a gal of chlorox to use for sanitation and water purification if we can get outta the basement and across the street to the lake. plus the rotating stock of can goods and chocolate. and, KI pills for the whole family. the real issue will be IF we can get out of the basement/house or not. like, if a twister takes out our egress we r prob gud for a week. otherwise, we r gud for a long time w/ the lake access. dont forget walkie talkies. if cell service is out, u can still reach folks up to a few miles away. like car insurance - u pay the bill and hope u never have a claim. peace, crazzy

I agree that storing a years worth of goods is not practical or wise, but the $75 bucket is a good idea due to the weight and portability. In a bug out scenario it may be wise to have a decent supply of food that can be grabbed on the go. Also, a good supply of organic (non-hybrid) seeds is wise and can be had relatively inexpensively here Garden Seeds
