I bet you eat hot pockets and fruit gushers. The poo poo food in the survivor kit is probably fresher than that

Is it 33.5k USD? That's ridiculous. That's over 20 bucks per person per day of lovely quality food on a maintenance diet, you could literally do better just buying regular canned stuff in bulk.

Well, now that I reread it, that's the number of servings, not the price.

Like how big is the discount? I have plenty of storage space and I like soup, when there is a big sale on Progresso I normally buy a few weeks worth.

You guys know #10 cans re the big rear end industrial cans found in every restaurant right? Other than feeding 4 people just beets per meal or just pineapple chunks, how does this make sense? I'm not saying you gotta make a 4 course meal, but 3 months in, the excitement of cracking open a tenner of rice pudding has got to wear off

I'm sure its less to do with excitement rather than "survival"

The month pail isn't a bad idea but this pallet of food has like 200 servings of shortening and poo poo like that

If you are looking for long lasting food and are in an area where poo poo like; snowstorms, earthquakes, LOL Katrina and such are apt to happen.

Other than that, buy a loving loaf of bread and a dozen eggs.
