Costco Is Selling a 27-Lb. Bucket of Mac and Cheese with a 20-Year Shelf Life
People ^ | January 10, 2019 | Georgia Slater

Oh Costco, you’ve truly outdone yourself this time.

The wholesale store just figured out a way to make sure you will never run out of mac and cheese again: sell it in a 27-lb. tub.

You read that correctly, 27 lbs. That’s as much as about 100 baseballs, half a bale of hay or your average 3-year-old child.

DON’T get in the carriage!!

Because of that episode, I specifically avoid Beefarini or whatever Chef Boy ar Dee cans have.

Used to have a lot of the canned pasta in the prepper supply. At one time, it was 68 cents a can. Pretty much anymore it’s about 98 cents a can around here.

Guilty as charged. If a poster can’t convey everything that needs to be said about COSTCO Mac and Cheese in a headline and body of the post, then there’s really something not right....

Also known as the Rosie O’Donnell snack size.

In a SHTF situation they’ll need bottled water. Does it have a 20 year shelf life?

LOL Well, when ya get really, really hungry, it’s amazing how good pretty much anything “food” tastes.

But we gotta draw a line somewhere....

It probably will sell to preppers-it would be a good ration when/if fresh food is not available after the SHTF-but if the cheese “sauce” is made from fake cheese, then there really isn’t much nutrition there...
