$800
the benpocalypse is upon us
tvp is not bacon.
... and they don't include anything from the beer food group.
attention shoppers, the end is near
Looks like sharp business minds at Costco intend on cashing in on the Mayan calender.
OTOH, that's $2.20/day. Even if the world doesn't end, that's some cheap eatin' for a year (as long as it comes with a cookbook).
Bacon, Bacon, Bacon
I've still got a basement full of this stuff from Y2K!!!

Cheap eatin'... as long as you have a viable water source and a viable heating source for a year!
Y2K11?
Perfect for the zombie attack, you'll have everything you need to eat. Unless you're one of the zombies, then you just need brains....
Couple of quotes I love:
How much you want to bet that it tastes just as bad after 25 years, as it would if you ate it now??
Do we REALLY want to know what the "protein" is? REALLY???
The protein is tvp, aka soy meat. No nutritional info on these but it wouldn't surprise me if they're loaded with sodium, and yet they might need to be for flavor since there are no condiments included except sugar, if you call that a condiment.
Charlton Heston knows what the protein is.
if you have to eat this sh{t,sodium will be your last concern
#11, good one. I liked the Furniture.
It was set in 2022; that's only 12 years from now...
No Thanks!
800 bucks buys me lots of meals at an exclusive restaurant and I might get laid after, then I'll forget all about armageddon!
Always good to stock up before inflation really hits thanks to Democrats.
Sodium will be a concern if you're trying to survive a year on rationed water... or to keep a healthy digestive tract while eating this food. If things get hairy enough you have to go a year without normal food you better keep your strength up or the zombies will get you.
well the thing about sodium is that we can take a lot of it, remember people used to use salt to preserve food, and only salt, save for air drying.
^ When they had ample water and ate a lot more vegetables than the average person does today (potassium intake sufficient to counter the sodium). That's a lot different than an emergency situation where you may be lucky just to have enough clean water to reconstitute the food.
If things get so bad that food is no longer available, I'm going to eat all the sodium I have in one sitting just to get it over with.
#15 is right, food inflation is coming as all primary food futures markets are up.
I just placed an order for more corn, peas, mushrooms, apricots and blueberries from http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/
I also order from http://beprepared.com/ and the food from both vendors is really good. Just stick to basic fruits and vegetables to avoid fillers.
Freeze-dried is great if you cook a lot and don't want to hassle with frozen. When I make soups or rice pilaf, just toss a handful of the corn, peas and mushrooms to taste and add a little extra water and that's it.
