I once got a great deal on 12 cases of MREs at a gun show. Unbelievable really. I think he just wanted to get rid of them. I got a total of 144 meals for $30.
They were just past the date stamped on the boxes. I actually liked most of them.
Me and some friends ate 17 year old MRE’s on a campout
Pork Chow Mein was the best MRE ever!
