Regardless of where you end up purchasing, brace yourself when looking at the total bill and the total wait/shipping time...prices have nearly doubled since my order a year ago and shipping times have increased 3 times due to recent demand! Its shocking to see where the commodities are at right now. I'm not trying to fear monger here its just hard to believe when looking at it.

If need be you can always lower your cost by buying raw staples instead of the pre-made freeze dried mountain house meal selections.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tips and ideas NEMO smile We have some raw staples but I am no cook ;), and I like having things stored for ready-to-use situations. In a flood, power outage or other somewhat short-term <15 day disaster I would LOVE to not have to worry about what I am going to grind up, mix together, cook and hope it turns out wink (Speaking of <15 day I already have that in normal 'food stock'... but hey I like to have a lot!)

Thanks again, time to check out the link!
