Outstanding speed and value
Excellent purchase. Product arrived 4 days early (!) in perfect condition and exactly as described and pictured. Looks fresh from the factory with a new inspection date at the end of 2027. TTI sticker perfect (indicates proper storage). There is an informational sheet inside that not only gives return instructions if damaged, but exactly how the shelf life and inspection process works for MREs. I'm a retired Marine and had no idea (I wasn't supply, I just ate them). They could be good for almost 20 years provided they are properly stored and pass regular inspections. Read the sheet it comes with. I've eaten some OLD MREs while I was in (the little bottle of Tabasco sauce was 3/4 evaporated and brown), but the food was fine.I'm not going to get into which ones are "good" or "bad", but rest assured MREs today like these are head and shoulders above the first ones I had decades ago. Old timers may remember the dehydrated beef patty, pork patty, and "five fingers of death" (five bland hotdogs in a pouch). Nothing like that in here. All much better stuff - even BBQ beef and pizza!Unlike much "emergency" food, you don't need heat, flame, or fuel with the enclosed heaters. Just a little water which doesn't even have to be drinkable, it doesn't touch the actual food. Can also eat them cold and it's fine, or even heat them up on an engine block (which I've also done). There is nothing to rehydrate (except drink mixes), no pots, pans, or electricity necessary. There's other things you can do with the heaters as well, but I'll leave you to Google that :)Each provides 2200 calories which is a lot, but remember these are primarily made for men and women in the field who are burning a lot of energy, they aren't for living off of the rest of your life. In an emergency I don't think many will be caring about their figure. The high calorie count is a good thing.I've wanted MREs in my stash for awhile but was often turned off by the price or the fact they were old surplus in beat-up stained boxes. This is actually a really good deal, way less than 5 bucks each for a complete meal. Can't even get a small fast food meal for that anymore. Each also gives you things like crackers, cheese, peanut butter, jelly, desserts, drink mix etc. Very happy with this purchase and would recommend. Wish I could give it 6 stars.

Very impressive, good quality, quick delivery, nice variety of food.
Delivered fairly quick, condition is as good as military in the field. Good value. Great for convenience and situations where a fire is not convenient, safe or possible. Fire makes smoke, light and cooking smells travel a long way. This heater is the best way to have a hot meal without giving away your position or drawing attention from people or animals. It’s best to order separate coffee supplies as these MREs no longer have a regular supply of coffee in them.

Incredible deal. Incredible.
These came fast and got both A & B cases from 2021. The people leaving bad reviews are not familiar with MREs at all. These are an insanely good deal at just under $3 per meal. Surplus stores sell these for $10-15 and are usually older than these. The dates don't matter except for any commercial candy inside. These will last years and years past expiration. They are packaged and sealed in a way to hold their nutritional and taste vaules. I have tried them 10-15 years out of date. Incredible value. Have not opened the cases yet to see if there are any substituted meals. But who cares.

Great investment!
It blows my mind how affordable these are. With all the uncertainties in the world today it’s important to prepare. We mostly bought these for dry camping and we’ve already went through all of them. You seriously can’t beat the price. We are ABSOLUTELY going to continue ordering from this vendor. The best one is the savory beef strips, the worst one is the pizza. They were all pretty good for being MRE’s. They were also well packaged with no issues of leaking. My husband is a combat veteran and they’re exactly the same. They even have the mini tobasco sauce bottles in them.

Best MRE Value
This is the best MRE deal going on right now. It was about $49 per case delivered. Agree with others, mine were 2021 mfg’d. Received case A and B. Order was double packed in another bigger box. Deal was so good I ordered another four cases, which also arrived as described. Keep these cool, and they will last another 3-4 years or more. Menu selection does lean heavily on southwest mexican. But all I have tasted so far, are top notch in flavor.

Good buy
Ordered a two case set. A and B. They came within 3 days and in great condition. Both cases in tact, sealed, banded, and with good indicators on both. 2025 inspection dates. Packed together in an outer box. Menu 13 was replaced with 5, but I'm ok with that. Not a fan of the tuna anyway.

For hiking, camping, boating, and emergencies
Bought the list a + list b and have tried a couple from each so far. Good quality, good flavors, easy to use, easy to store, calorie dense enough to survive, lasts so long, and glad I tried them. Will be using for backpacking and car camping instead of hauling cooking gear. Also will be meals when I'm too lazy to cook.

It's a good deal.
Good quality MREs, reminds me of my army days. The kids and I love to eat them when too tired to cook. Excellent for emergencies or when cooking isn't possible. I just moved into a new home and we ate these for several nights. It was great. We fight over the chili Mac and no one wanted the vegetarian tortellini, just like in the service....
