Jessica, a friend of mine owns All-in-One Preparedness and her prices almost always beat The Ready Store. She takes phone calls personally and love nothing more than helping people plan their food storage. I know her food products come in the highest quality of cans. Her website is http://allinonepreparedness.com. Tell her Lisa, the Survival Mom, sent you! BTW, I am an affiliate of The Ready Store, but for personal attention from the owner and quality of products, it’s hard to beat AIO.
AIO products are dehydrated and not Freeze-Dried… so that’s like comparing apples to a rotten tomato. With the dehydrated food it loses the nutritional value of the product and Freeze-Dried retains all the vital vitamins and minerals that you would find in your Vegetables & Fruits. Since you are the “Survival Mom” you should know how important it is to keep the nutritional value up especially in a disaster or an emergency. Also with cooking & preparing Dehydrated products can be troubling compared to a #10 can of Mountain House. I might just be thinking more practical cooking when faced in an emergency, I’m sure that if an earthquake strikes I’ll be happy and healthy with my supply of Mountain House that I got from The Ready Store. Plus I don’t know if I trust AIO, I have never heard of that brand before… Where Mountain House has been around for 30 years! Old enough to be kid tested & survival mother approved eh?
Great info...thanks!
