I wonder if OCD is contagious off the internet?
benn seeing a lot mor grammar nazis lately.
back to the thread, I just picked up five more 6 cans of Augason farms yesterday at my local Walmart, they had nearly a full aisle two months ago, now the stock is almost gone and they have not been re-stocking.
And over in the sporting goods area they have the same sized gallon cans of Mountain House meals, more than twice the price of the Augason Farms, and with only ten servings per can I passed up on the Mountain House.
I love Ramen noodles and I can supplement them with the Augason soy beef or chicken substitute if I chose, I usually use tuna.
I may very well be the largest buyer of the Augason farms emergency meals locally, I’m not bragging for ego and since I’m not posting where I live I can say I know have 65 number six cans. I have no idea how long that will last for one person, I think one month.
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?
