I am not sure exactly what is on sale; I was just looking for the curry chicken and all the pouches and some of the larger kits are 20% off. The kits can be found at discount (like Costco) but I have never seen the individual pouch meals on sale before. Nice chance to try the flavors WM, Dicks and REI don't have.

Why? Super convenient and super light weight. The point is backpacking. They cost way too much for most other use. (~$10/meal) They have a crazy long shelf life.
How do they taste? Some are better than others but this (and Peak Refuel) are expensive and generally taste good. I actually *like* the beef stroganoff but it is not Mom's cooking.

You'll need a long spoon to stir and eat them:

You'll need a rest afterwards:

Yes the 15 pack at Costco is cheaper per item - less variety though (and cheaper in store I think): https://www.costco.com/mountain-h...42273.html
Chicken & Dumplings

15 pouches for $99 ($6.66 per pouch) This is an excellent price per pouch.
btw, with mountain house, forget about the # of servings. 1 pouch = 1 meal. I'm heading over to Costco tomorrow to see if they are the same price or cheaper, if not in stock, I'll order online.
Never, ever, go by servings since this is part of the emergency food trickster marketing. If you have to compare, the best way is price per ounce comparison--even then you have to be careful and read carefully to see if the price per ounce is reconstituted with water or freeze-dried, or dehydrated.

Report back if they are the same price please
If you're using them for backpacking and not emergencies, do yourself an enormous favor and just splurge for Peak Refuel. They are vastly superior in every way.

I don't find the Costco pack that good of deal. I don't count the granola as a "meal." Literally granola with some dehydrated milk. Trivial to make yourself to take backpacking. That's how it appears so cheap per meal but not that great of value IMO
