Not a bad price AT ALL. It may seem a bit large at first but think of it as having left overs.

Web Page Name

I'll probably order a BBQ Ribs tray or 2. Be a perfect match for the buckets of rice and beans I have.
Direct link to trays here

Supposed to feed 18 people. For 11 bucks....Well crap. I figure if I end up with a subdivision full of refugees I cant shoot'm for as cheap as I could feed'm at that price! Laughing

or with moisture removed also, so you add water ?

Retort packing, the first option. You could literally open it and eat it. No water needed.

Thanks for the tip! I like how that site shows pictures of the actual contents. Have you dealt with them before? Of course they'll be sold out in 10 minutes now that you posted on here. Smile

My husband reminds us that you'd then have all their friends showing up... Cool

See my post on MRE's being "meals refusing to exit"

Yes boolits are still cheaper at this time

More effective is being in a location where the community pulls together...hate to use a TV analogy...but like in "Jerico" (even tho' they were fools).

The thing that worries me is by the time they realize they need to pull together in may very well be too late.

I know in my subdivision of 100+ houses I can count on one hand the number of gardens.....
