Anyone buy the food kit from COSTCO?

It depends on how long you think you'll have to endure eating it.
If it's all about getting calories in to keep from starving that's one thing but longer term..people with health issues..you bet...diabetes have a whole other problem with those pre packed things

This would be my issue.
But I'm sure I could live 2 years without watching what I ate.

I figure I only have a couple or five more years anyway.

"COSTCO" is a horribly anti-2A, anti- U S Constitution business !

Bought one of these…during the Great American Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020….now what to do with it….

Canned tuna freeze dries amazingly well.

Just leave it in the can. It's good "forever" and you don't have to worry about re-hydrating it.

Keep it 20 or 25 years. Then replace it, if they still have them. I don't think they will ever go bad tho.

You have stated that before on several occasions, but not once have you ever shown any credible evidence that supports that statement.

After Y2K I was watering my lawn 16.8 oz at a time for almost 18 months.

I've got enough Wise, Mountain Home, Auguson Farms, Spam, Tuna, Dinty Moore, Sue Bee Dumplings, canned chicken, and sardines to last me and one other about nine months.

Squirrels, rabbits, deer, dove, will be mixed in if still around. Goodness knows I've been feeding them long enough and the time may come for them to feed me.

Meanwhile, I mentioned to my son that he might want to start stocking up on long-term food, and he told me the plan for his family was just to make it to my place.

Sigh...

Get a Berkey or some other water filtration system. All the long-term foods require water for prep.

I use my Berkey to filter my tap water. The difference is crazy. I use it for cooking, coffee, tea - everything but bathing and washing dishes.

5 years seems to be a fairly short shelf life.

Oh joy let's play the boycott game till were raggedy assd naked starking and broke.

Every company does something you wont like. Cancel culture is stupid.

 

[Wolfwood]

true, but i figure if you are gonna need it it will be be in 2-3 years tops, and if we can make it 4 years, and stuff is panning out OK, just eat it, and skip HEB for a while.

Home Depot sells these for $8 with a lid.
Slightly more than the orange buckets but they’re certified food-grade

They can last longer if stored properly, i.e., not in your attic, trunk, or lawn mower shed.

If it comes to getting really hungry expiration dates won't matter.
I am well stocked on can goods, beans and rice, instant potatoes and powered milk.
And water.
If I still have electricity my freezer and refrigerator freezer are full.
And a generator. Propane and charcoal cookers.

Some foods are better suited for long-term storage than others. Think back to some of the foods our ancestors used and kept for ideas.
