looks like inflated prices on their own store vs amazon

for example rice and chicken is $28 on amazon, they list it as $39.50 so 50% off is $19.75

so yes, it's still $8.25 cheaper than amazon, but it isnt really 50% off

Why does it matter to you? Do you ever see questions about why someone wants so many TV's in his or her house?

Fyi these are number 10 cans, NOT 10 pounds of food. Check the item for net weight

Why are so many Slickdeals folks so interested in bull freeze dried food? Are there really that many preppers here?
Everyone should be a "prepper". I don't know why we call it "being a prepper", it's just being logical.

Keep in mind that the cans are just one container full of a large amount of one type of food. Versus the pouches being individual meals. There's nothing wrong with the can, but just keep that in mind. To me I think there's valid reasons to have both pouches and cans.

Costco has been selling at these prices for years.
Yes and I have bought a lot from Costco recently. But Costco makes you buy a case at a time or more (at least online). Mountain House you can buy single items and it still ships free.

I wish they would let me add my own salt. The beef and chicken have 470mg of sodium per serving — 20% of RDV (with 220 calories and 170 calories respectively). There's no reason to add salt preemptively to freeze dried food.
Flavor? Something that they need.

do you guys really buy these for long-term use? Or like camping?
If you hike/backpack the freeze dried stuff is lighter than most other things . I liked canned good for home (salmon, corned beef etc) but hking those are heavy

How long are the chicken and beef good for once opened?
Its a pound of meat, how long are you going to take to eat it?

These prices aren't too bad but compared to 15 years ago, they are more than double what I paid for my 165 #10 cans. I paid about $8.75 per can for various of the cheaper entrees such as Turkey Tetrazzini, Chili Mac, etc. My cans expire in 2038. But they will probably be ok for another 25 years beyond that. If they expire, I want to sell them back to Mountain House for tare of what I paid for their own research purposes. BTW I got all my cans online from Camping World or CampMor or some big camping retailer like that...I can't remember...
