About the Augason Farms 30 day packages from Walmart:
30 Day Emergency Pail = $99.88
1 Month Emergency Food Pack = $174.88
Why does the box cost twice as much as the pail. Sure, there’s some dried onions and bacon bits and such in the box but I can’t see the price being to much higher. I’m probably missing something by reading it online at the Walmart site since there’s none in the stores within a 100 miles of me. I don’t much care about variety in a shtf situation and with a tight budget I’d rather go with the cheaper one but I’d like some input from someone who experience with the products.
I’m also not understanding the $174 box which states 540 servings. That’s way over 3 meals x 30 days = 90 meals. Or are they saying a sprinkle of dried onions or bacon bits as a flavor enhancement is a serving?
What is your preference for taste v. price for various brands?
Sorry about the long delay, had to go do my day job thing.
We have whats called a Breakfast pack up here in Alaska, six cans, egg omelet mix, shredded potatoes, sliced strawberries,vegetarian bacon bits, pancake mix either blueberry or buttermilk and an instant oatmeal cereal I think.
That box retails for about $75 (Wasilla, Alaska), they had a Dinner Pack but it sold out early, they also had the buckets at the same price and as far as I can see the Breakfast pack is a great deal, I bought like 4 of them alone. I love the potato taste, feels just as good as peeling fresh potatoes and mashing them.
