96 meals for $367 = $3.82 per meal
Realistically you wont just eat a mre but $5 a meal is cheap.

>>21887921
It's cheaper on Amazon, and shipping is free. Also as a warning, some meals will be absolutely horrible and will go straight to trash

You're basically getting canned spaghetti, Dinty Moore beef stew-tier food. So ask yourself if it's worth it to pay for that.

You really gotta calculate out the best price per calorie.

What is a "meal" in this particular MRE. 600 calories? 1000 calories?

If so, you might end up needing 2 or 3 of these per day.

>>21887921
Do you get only Chili and Macaroni?

>>21888080
>I'll have 96 chili and macaronis, pls
>Delivers Every 30 Days

15 years ago I would have been like, "the US would never sabotage its central bank and destroy the dollar in order to gain cheap political points, there's enough checks and balances to avoid that kind of third world crap" and I laughed at the people who thought it would happen

I used to make fun of MRE hoarders too, but the way things are going agriculture will be literally driven into the ground with brawndo and anyone who challenges the toilet seat coke sniffer crowd will be arrested for illegal wokeness

So by all means, hoard the MREs, you may need it soon. Maybe stock up on colloidal silver since god knows they'll be banning antiseptics any day now

>>21887921
No, I only got the whole menu for around $4.40 on Amazon. There might be a few of them you hate. Some of the proteins taste like chalk and sand.

>>21888100
4.40 an MRE*. The entire menu is 24 different MREs

>>21887921
lol... considering mre's are mediocre at best, you're getting raped.

>>21887921
Buy a fuckton of hot sauce too. Those things give some mad constipation.

>>21888187
constipation to conserve energy

Seems a little steep. If you're in the US, go to the closest gun show in your city, and you can get a case for $30

>>21888180
it's amazing how much gouging goes on in the prepper industry. can't blame them that much Tbh. rightoids convinced that world war 3 is coming in 2 more weeks will dump out their entire savings for you.

Question to all:
How do I know if the nigger selling these is honest? For all I know these MREs could've spent the last 10 years in a sweltering warehouse in the desert.

Freeze dried is better than any MRE btw. Tastes better, doesn't expire as quickly. If you can't boil water in your boogaloo situation you're so fucked it doesn't matter what you're eating.

You don't need an apostrophe there. It's just MREs.

If you happen to live in the PNW, Bi-Mart sells 12 packs for $47.99. I think they sometimes have sales that go even cheaper, I have a memory of seeing them for $40 last year.

>>21887921
when its armageddon and everyone around you is starving and robbing each other and killing and raping each other, you'll be glad you sprung for the 96 pack

>>21887921
This is a great price if shipping isn't out of hand.i think the humanitarian ones are sometimes more affordable.

>>21888303
No, it's Mr. E's.

>>21888180
I'm not OP, but I'd love to have maybe like 5 of these around just in case of emergency. Is there anything cheaper that's less of a ripoff, but still easy to store in a bag or something? I don't want to throw a can of soup in a backpack and just have it sit there.

>>21888269
If ww3 happens it's going to be precisely because of the same people saying ww3 is going to happen. They're so desperate for it to happen that they'll find a way. It's been an ongoing pattern for all the doom mongering they've been "warning" about. The warnings were about their own intentions.

>>21888445
won't happen. there's too much money in maintaining the status quo. china's not invading taiwan, they know the US will come at them mightily and they don't want to sever relations with their biggest trading partner. stop being /pol/nigger doomers who want the world to burn because they can't get laid.

nothing ever happens.

>>21888458
stop believing*

>>21887921
For your money, sure. Probably not for your health.

Fucking schizo preppers. Storing thousands of dollars worth of food for some imaginary survival situation. Hope you have the bunker and all the ventilation stuff and defense stuff before you have the food. I'm not sure what kind of world there's going to be where an MRE investment is going to save you.

>>21888488
literally just normal flood disaster conditions where it can take multiple days for emergency rescue crews to reach you, you fucking 0iq mongoloid

>dei
kek you incels are still seething over that shit? i thought your pedophile president put an end to it. or at least you keep telling me it's dead.

>>21888514
That's a lot more work than I really want to put in... I'm kinda looking for something I can throw in a backpack for an emergency, I don't want to become a full prepper. Like, at home I'm happy to have some soups, tinned fish, canned veggies, stuff like that just in case, but I'd like something relatively more stable with a decent calorie count if something bad happened, or I had to get out of town real fast.

>>21887921
MREs aren’t meant to be a long term food option, someone got sick doing that. Try having beans, rice, powdered egg/milk and other shelf stable foods on hand for much less cost

>>21888530
MREs are great for your scenario of having something ready to be chowed down for a few days, appreciate the clarification. I got a box of HDR meals that are realistically the last resort if everyone chows through the canned goods and other emergency foods I have stocked

>>21888527
It was the previous president's fault still. Even though he stole that election. DEI people are responsible for food not lasting as long. I heard it on AM radio.

>>21888524
Same shit happens to me all the time. I'll search all over town for some random thing and it'll either be nonexistent or ridiculously expensive, and then I remember Bi-Mart exists and they come in clutch.

>>21888484
They were always only rated for a few years, it's just that they COULD last longer if they were stored well and you were lucky. They have to keep the expiration date short because you never know if they're gonna end up getting stored in some metal shed with no A/C in the desert or whatever. Some of the modern ones are probably the same way, they haven't been around long enough for people to find out though.

repacks of MRE's are more common than before, so if the price is unusually low that might be part of it. repack meaning; older product packed into a 'newer' or mislabeled box. and multiple copies of the least-preferred menu items
anybody that's lived through disasters already (power/plumbing/whatever out for multiple days) should respect the emergency food store
its also convenient for camping, hiking, etc excursions. you can pack your own meal and grab an MRE as well and it covers all the side amenities (napkins, utensils, beverage flavor mix, sides, etc) and has an entree of its own
i think the current worst menu items are #2 and #10, which is pork rib (2) and tuna (10)
one of the cheese/'pasta' dishes is actually awful too i cant remember which one though, it might be like elbows and cheese in sauce, NON-chili variant? it always ended up extremely homogenously pasty and not good.

despite what you may think, the vegetarian options, especially the 'vegetarian crumble' slop thing, is actually pretty tasty, and they've always come with hot sauce in my experience which makes it even more tolerable

>>21887921
$3/per bucks is a steal, the fucking candy in them costs that at the grocery store & vending machine. Anything over $5/per isn't worth it.

>>21887979
Might be, they have been going up.

>>21888005
MRE beef stew is actually better than Dinty, it's closer to the Yellowstone cowboy beef stew. But yes, some of the entrees are canned shit.

>>21888006
They are officially 1200-1500 cal depending on meal. 2 for a sitting man (with leftovers), 3 for an active man.

>>21888277
Sticker AND accept the fact the heater WILL NOT work.

>>21888280
SSSSHHHHH, I don't want retards driving up the FD food cost. Let them have deenz and other swill that we don't care about.

MREs are semi-handy though for the sides and extras they come with. It's handy to keep a few boxes around just in case you need to do some away from home work. And they have SPOONS! Especially if foreign MREs with water purification tablets and solid fuel stoves.

>>21888721
MRE beef stew is ridiculously good, like, "wish my own beef stew at home could reliably taste this good" satisfying levels

>>21888710
>repacks
Usually if they are busted apart they sell the smaller bits for WAY higher than they are worth. I've seen the single meals posted for WAY more than getting em in bulk. I guess people pay that for it to work. Never really seen boxes packed with meals, but I have seen the sides boxed up - those are actually kinda neat. I got one for the pound cakes once. It was mostly muffin tops, but still neat.

>tuna
It's LITERALLY repacked grocery store pouch tuna in camo. It sucks ass.

The veg meals are the hot spot for terrible. That is where the vomlet comes from. They've been faffing about with the menus recently so it's hard to keep track of what year has what veg option.

The mexican stuff usually sucks (taco shits), but the new mexican chicken stew was actually pretty fire. Oh, and I mean the mexican food is just bad examples of real proper texmex or mexican food: taco meat looks like shit, the beans stuff also look like shit with corn in it.

>>21888488
It's like you didn't JUST live through COVID. You should really get your brain checked by a doctor, your memory is shot.

I literally was just iced in for a week. Being prepped isn't about being prepared for a fucking alien invasion, its about being ready to deal with REAL disasters and REAL supply chain issues when they pop up and you can't get squat from the store because all the paranoid NPCs bought up all the toilet paper, bread, milk and flour. Having meals means like MREs and FD food means that if shit happens and I need food for a month or so, I am good and covered.

I also live near a nuclear plant. I need to have some semblance of a FUCK TIME TO GO plan just in case that shit gets compromised and we get ordered to leave. I hope it doesn't, but all it takes is some DEI hire and a meltie, and I have to leave with others in a mass panic with no advance warning. And that means having some bug out bags that are easy to toss into a car to GTFO.

If I get liquidated in MAD, I don't care then. Fallout America is gonna suck, and I'd rather not be here for it. I have just enough for some end of the world faps and potentially aiming to regroup with peeps or joining a gang if I am up to it when SHTF.

>>21888732
Yeah IMO every "tex mex"-ish item they've ever offered has been a success, from chilis, to southwest stews, chicken stews, mexican chicken enchiladas, whatever. Maybe its cuz of taco bell indoctrinating us to accept those textures and flavors.
squeezing jalapeno cheddar cheese onto a "Flour tortilla" and a healthy portion of some spicy southwest slop on to it is way better than it has any reason to be, coming out of a laminate package and sitting under your bed for 5 yrs

>>21887921
Usecase for civilians having MREs instead of just buying ordinary dry/canned food and eating oldest stuff first on a stock rotation? 99.999% of emergency cases you will be fine with just a few weeks stock of food, might as well just use rice/pasta and other stuff you would normally eat. Even for camping you can just buy boil-in-bags, canned or other ready-made stuff from the supermarket for a fraction of the price.

fpbp

>>21887921
but why would you get MREs?
I can't think of a single, realistic use case where you'd prefer them

>prepping
you need a large pantry and learn preserving methods anyway
plus a garden with vegetables, potatoes, orchard etc. and a well
MREs just taste like shit compared to your own meals
just stock staples

>hiking
there are far better perishable meals
no need to have 10y of shelf life
also an included heater is just a waste of space when you can carry it separately

>being a lazy piece of shit at home
get frozen meals
same reasons
taste better, more nutritionally complete, (usually) cheaper

>>21888787
>i wish i could get mres at this price in Europe.
German Bundeswehr EPAs (Einmannpacking) are like 20€/pack if you buy in bulk
but they're for a whole day, so 3 meals with extra stuff
also genuinely MUCH better than whatever shit the US has

still more expensive, but worth it

>>21888745
larping as a soldier
it's also easier to buy one case of mres that has 12 different menus with half a dozen different components each than it is to buy all of those separately

most mres being sold to civilians are expired. yes they are edible at 7 years in ideal conditions but do you really think random mres werent sitting in a 110 degree warehouse the whole time? they're going to be gross because the fats went rancid.

>>21887921
hmm mayb i buy 96 mres

>>21888817
ty fren i thought the American ones were for the whole day aswell

>>21888745
>>21888815
The main things I can think of are situations where water supplies are limited. Earthquakes and flooding are big examples, both can contaminate or cut off water supply.

They could also be good as emergency food to keep in a car in case you get stuck in a blizzard or some shit, they let you get a decent hot meal without needing any cooking equipment and minimizing time you have to spend outside.

Lastly I can see certain /out/ situations where they might make sense. I motocamp and carrying enough water for drinking is hard enough, MREs are probably more weight efficient if you're gonna be away from drinking water supplies for a day or two. The same could go for desert or arid mountain hiking/camping/hunting where you're expending enough energy to actually need the high calorie content of MREs compared to regular camping food too.

>>21888982
You need to carry the same weight of water to survive, with or without MREs.
And MREs are not made with any secret technology that makes them lighter, in fact a simple can of spam has better energy/weight ratio.
Somehow I doubt you ever camped or had an MRE.

>>21888982
>where water supplies are limited
water is not included in your MREs
you need to have this anyway

>Earthquakes and flooding are big examples, both can contaminate or cut off water supply.
for those cases you should have
>bottled water at home, enough to sustain ~2weeks
>manual water filter + water filter powder
the last one is the only actual long term solution
the powders are coagulants and some timed-release form of chlorine typically, and a few grams clean ~10l of water, so you can easily "store" years worth of clean water forever in a small box

>They could also be good as emergency food to keep in a car
I've never felt to need to have that
though maybe I'm just too euro and everything here is too close together

>see certain /out/ situations where they might make sense
no it doesn't
for these case you don't need the extreme long shelf life
which means you can easily get far better meals in terms of taste AND energy density

MREs are designed to be
>mass produced
>easily transported
>extremely long shelf life
taste and energy density are more of an afterthought
which you can improve massively if you drop any of the 3 hard requirements listed above

Is #1 still cheese and veggie omelette?
