Spaghetti, pasta sauce and canned meat.
I don’t care what they say, don’t get too many beans. Man, those things will tear you up!
couple cases of MREs are always a good start, make sure you get an “A” and “B” case so you get 24 different meals
with all the deployments though, they’ve been scarce
As if I am going to tell you and have the price go through the roof.
My friend this is gonna be as bad as a gun/ammo thread. LoL!
I do like their food. So far, we've tried their Mac and Cheese, Stew, and Chicken and Rice. They've been good and I'm planning on buying more.
Get them a pressure canner and they can pressure can all the favorite foods they cook and enjoy today.
Rice will last forever if sealed (or vacu-packed) and kept cool. Carbs are not your friend when times are good, but when the SHTF, just the opposite.
Both honey and maple syrup will last virtually forever if they are in quality containers and not exposed to too much heat or cold.

I think having professionally prepped food is useful as a start, but they should be trained on how to make it themselves.
Very good place to buy and they have or used to have good flat rate shipping costs.
Still have good shipping rates; https://beprepared.com/pages/shipping-rates
I really don’t understand the allure of those freeze-dried survival food meals. You need hot water to activate them. And hot water would be a luxury in hard times.
I say go just down to your local Costco and buy a ton of regular canned food. That stuff can last for decades, and is ready to eat when you need it.
So many responses so quickly!! Thank you all so much! I appreciate the help! To all of you!
I bought a freeze dryer with the first stimulus check. I have lasagna, beef stew, chicken stew, macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, fried cabbage. I’ve freeze dried eggs, milk, and made jalapeño powder. Corn, beans, peas, and peppers. It was a great investment.
I’ve been making a lot of beef jerky in the last year and vacuum packing it and storing it in the freezer. I just ate some I sealed a year ago and it tasted like it was made yesterday. Good stuff!!
