Good as in Yummy or good as in I won't die from them? That first one is gonna be hard even if they are new.
I too enjoy MREs. I really like the drink mixes. I just think they are too expensive when there are so many alternatives. I can't say I've ever had a problem with them. One meal is an all day thing...
I hope you bought a case or two of Exlax.
Yeah, looks like a lot has changed in three years since I posted that. The new chart comes from Readymeal and they are a supplier so that new chart is good in my book. Thanks!!!
You might be interested in A-Pak meals, then. They are an MRE manufacturer for the military. The A-Pak is their civilian version and you order direct from the manufacturer.

So did I. No one will be very happy if they are used to eating bacon sandwiches at night then are forced to eat rice cakes during a disaster. You want to plan your long term storage with items...
Jendeere - If you haven't figured it out we're all about storing what the family will eat. Most of us anyway. If they eat Mountain House, good for you. Just don't spend a small fortune on foods that...
I don't have a problem with them. I have several A-Paks here. But, if you can't get them or don't like them there are alternatives.
Of course, if the Queen Mum DOES offer up some Royal grub there's no reason not to take it.
Wychwood - There are a LOT of shelf stable foods on the market today. Look for dehydrated soups and I know Heinz has marketed the thermocups in the UK. I think their Heinz Beanz and also Hoops Pasta...
Read the comments on the Costco stuff. One guy has $20K in freeze dried food according to him. Seriously.
I guess they have.
Why buy them? There are plenty of civilian versions on the market. Long shelf life, good food, etc. I'm partial to A-Paks but there are a lot out there.
I think it comes out to 5.83 or something like that. Then you add shipping. I can do one of the meals a day for two or three days depending on how strenuous travel is. Then I have to break in to two...

They make MREs for the government and the APacks are the civilian version.
I just ordered a case of APack meals to change out the food in my big BOB. I also like to take them camping with me. The meals are good and come out to less than $6.00, which is pretty cheap...
14 years? Nope. Not free. That's what was funny.
Free is not exactly the right word. They cost him how many years in the service?
I'd like to see your source on that one. That's pretty funny. Maybe they were designed so everyone went at once thus establishing a perimeter the enemy wouldn't cross. Too funny.
And there are different "versions" of the MREs depending on year of manufacture so that might add to mix as well.
Welcome GM. Why not go over to the Introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself?
I like MREs, Apacks, etc. for longer camping trips. They are water efficient so you don't use up what you...
Short of energy bars or something along those lines, I don't store food in my car. The temperature extremes are too much for processed food of any kind.
Cajun - Fishing with explosives is illegal.:D
You didn't specify if the food in your vehicles is in case you get stranded or if you're storing your bug out food there. Soooo........
