MREs don’t taste very good anyway in my opinion. Just order some stuff from Walmart.com they have 2 day delivery for free over around 35 bucks. I restocked my pantry 2 weeks ago.

The thing about MRE's is that they are very calorie dense so that you can survive extended periods on one a day. They are also dried so that they weigh very little if you are Oscar Mike (sorry, on the move). All you need is hot sauce

If you don't plan on bugging out rice and dried beans etc. are a good alternative. canned meats etc.

Is their 'shelf-life' indefinite?

I HAVE BUG IN PLANS. I buy 15-20 lbs of meat or chicken on sale and can them in mason jars. I also dehydrate some stuff. We store what we eat. If we have to move out, we have lots of stuff in cardboard cases and 5 gallon buckets-can be thrown into the back of a pickup or van.

Lots of dehydrated stuff, ramen noodle soup, peanut butter, tuna etc. for quick heat meals or no cook meals.

I do think those extra calorie bars are good to have a few around for about a 3 day supply.
