This may be Thanksgiving dinner next year if we don't get rid of Obummer.

ahh, just take a wild guess.
Certainly are more light and compact than cans, jars, or aseptically sealed plastic (like the Dinty Moore stew trays). But costs more. Whether that form makes sense depends on whether one would expect to travel far from home on foot with lots of supplies, and how long one will want to keep them. November 2012? Conventional food packaging will do.

Really? That much?
Can't tell where the joke starts and ends with this guy.
While it is good to have some short term provisions for situations like weather, I see little value in long term stocks.
If the disaster is civil strife, and/or, long term, you are likely going to be on the move, rather then sitting in your cozy home.
I had a friend that built an underground room and stocked it with a months supply of special canned survival foods, costing quite a lot.
They all expired, before he died.
Prepper’s Ping!
If people aren’t ready now, it’s pretty much too late for them. It’s a lot more than buying stuff, it’s knowing how and when to use it.
it didnt make any sense, I'd always wake up a little perplexed. (vietnam was happening at the time) I would wake up wondering what that dream was all about
makes sense now
And this surprises - who?
Have a great Thanksgiving and stockpile.
The Hormel “compleats” are a very cheap alternatives to MRE’s.
Long shelf life and cheap.
I keep them for deep back up.
The taters and beef aint bad.
Hey! I’ll trade ya this peanut butter for the cheese spread. Deal?
It would be much more intelligent to learn about how to freeze dry your own food, get a vacuum sealer and how to basically create your own MRE.
Now we have a run on anything that resembles long term food storage, higher prices and low inventory.
What will happen if they are not used nor needed? I expect that after the elections and we get things straightened out and DC cleaned up that there will then be a glut of MRE types of sales on Ebay, Craigslist etc.
If you think about it, an uptick in the sales of survival supplies is a superb indicator that there is *not* going to be a collapse of society.
Because when enough people are prepared, their investment and spending patterns change, which on the large scale makes the economy as a whole more resilient, in a defensive mode. With a few important exceptions.
1) A man-made “Jacksonian” economic crisis. Just before leaving office, Andrew Jackson, a violent and hateful man, decided to make one last parting shot at those he despised. He first refused to renew the charter of the Second Bank of the United States, which acted somewhat like the Federal Reserve does today. And second, by executive order “the specie circular”, he decreed that all the vast amount of currencies issued by banks in the US had to be backed with gold and silver.
This caused the worst depression in US history until the Great Depression. Jackson got away with it, because it was all blamed on the incoming president, who had been Jackson’s vice president, also a Democrat, but a “big city” Democrat that Jackson didn’t like.
2) Good economic intentions but without humanity. The Hoover administration finally figured out what had to be done to restore the US economy after the stock market crash of 1929. And economically, they were right. However, they made the terrible error of relying on the recovery to help all the people who were destitute and literally starving.
People in that situation will, and did, vote for the devil himself, “Ol’ Frank” Roosevelt, on the promise of immediate relief for their suffering.
And this must never be forgotten by Republicans. Fix the economy, yes, but you absolutely must insure that people have a roof over their head and food in their belly, the minute you get into office.
Right now the US has hundreds of thousands of empty homes, and even at the height of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, the US had an overabundance of food. So for heaven’s sake, don’t hold it back from people desperately need it.
Or again, Republicans will be out of power for another 25 years of Democrat destruction.
