Can I return in 24 years if the zombie apocalypse has not happened by then?

$2500 to feed a family of 4 for 450 days sounds like a slick deal to me!

Quote from lukem5 :
yeah i thought of that, but then how does pasta last 25 years? maybe if you congeal and dry it into pasta it resists oxidation and lasts longer.

just some ideas for budget minded preppers.
Most situations where a prepper needs the product, they will be challenged in other ways. May not have time, for instance, to turn the raw flour into something edible.

My Dad is 80. I could spend $5000 and effectively buy him all the food he'll need for the rest of his life. Would make a great Christmas gift.

Your last days on earth you'll spend eating this horrible junk and then you'll starve to death or be eaten by cannibals.
You could always be like that politician who promoted doomsday fears and built a massive underground bunker only to have a stranger who believed his fearmongering decide they probably need an underground bunker as well so they came to take his.

Their return policy is great, just say you accidentally bought two and don't need this one.

did a few quick calculations for calorie per dollar. The $10 25lb costco flour bags are 11x cheaper per calorie than this. im guessing air tight sealed, desiccated flour will last just as long as these would.

Dude I'm with you. Even better…get the five gallon bucket of peanut butter from Costco business center. No joke.

Always wondered if people that buy these would consume at some near future (without an actual disaster happening) OR strictly keep them stored for doomsday...
donate a few to the food bank every year and replace with fresh supply

24,260 total Calories

That has to be a typo, right? Otherwise that's just 12 days of a recommended diet.

one third of the "servings" is powdered orange drink. in a survival situation sure you'll enjoy the calories, but you're better off buying 5£ bags of. sugar

You are correct. I have chosen to stock water and only some food. Eating my neighbors should give me more time to get the food situation sorted.
