At Costco - Mountain House Freeze Dried Chili Mac with Beef; 6 boxes for total of 13,800 calories cost $145.

I am sure it has a lot of things going for it, But value ain't one of 'em.

For long term SHTF, you need calories, calories, calories. Supplement with multivitamins and minerals.

costco doesn't have great pricing on mountain house

mre is not a long term solution...aside from expensive, shelf life is not necessarily all that great and if you eat them for long periods you will never take a dump again...

Do you know where there's better pricing. Currently searching for some.

nitro-pak looks like the best current pricing online...when you are looking at the difference in price between cans and bags, the main concern should be how you plan to prepare it...shouldn't be any difference in price per serving...

An 80 proof whiskey like Jack Daniels has about 65 calories per fluid oz. So a common 0.75 liter bottle has well over 1600 calories. And it keeps a very long time if it has never been opened. Plus it has medicinal values and can be used for barter.

So when you walk into the door with another case of Jack, you can explain to your better half how you are just making sure you can look after her. Follow that with a quick - "You're Welcome".

On the other hand it will dehydrate you so you will have to increase your water intake significantly.

Ah, eating the food of the natives, the true joy of traveling.
