Why not stock up with real food? I’ve got a year supply of normal foods in my pantry and shelves, things I normally eat or would eat. Why buy stuff that will go stale and never be eaten except in an emergency when there is no choice?
Yep, that's a good alternative. Most canned foods last at least 3 years until Brandon is gone.

I came to the same conclusion. While there may be a need for emergency MRE stuff, it is going to go to waste over the years. I just dumped all I had that was pre- 2010. It was still edible, but everything tasted old. Even the rice!
