those items are nice, and some are down right edible, as for being practical for the avrage budget, its like eating peanut butter sandwich for the price of a steak dinner.
you can buy them streight form the manufacture. and yes each and every meal is vary expencive. some reaching up to 8 dollars per every meal.
for those of who can afford them they are great, but thay demand a lot of dedicated storage space. and have half the shelf life as the war surplus foods of the 60s and 70s.
you might find stocking up on canned soup, stews, spagetti and meatballs, ravioli, chili, ect..., penutbutter, honey, dryed cookies like vanilla wafers, saltines, gram, individual puddings, canned meats like potted meat, viena sausage, tuna, chickin, ham, spam, treat, enough water for at least two weeks, more the better. Plastic spoons and forks are a must.
you may be eating cold food out of a can, but it will sustain you for long periods of time at a minimal cost.
in todays times we can find our selves trapped in situations like loss of job that can go for 90 days or more and you will need the stockpiled foods to keep you going untill resorces can be obtained. and it is evident that after "Katrina" that it will be at least two weeks at the earliest that our government can respond with aid in a natural desaster.
what to do with the stockpile of canned and dryed foods? Rotate it in to your normal week to week food supply by date on cans. or you can donate it to charities and soup kitchens as the exporation dates come near.
once your main food and water reserves are stockpiled, you then make another stock pile of noodles, self rising flower, corn meal, crisco shortning, pancake mix, oatmeal, rice, brown sugar, white sugar, macoroni and cheese boxes. these items are budget streachers.
