I bought this item about a month ago. It's better than I anticipated. I am a widower, 10 months into my 89th year. So far I've tried the hearty chicken, the stroganoff and the corn chowder--a total of 15 meals. The meal preparation is so simple; just boil water. I'm about to try another item.

Pefection for food storage

Is this gourmet food? No. It is an inexpensive way to store calories for 25 years. If the stores are empty or inaccessible, it will taste like Michelin Star award cooking and you will not see your family go hungry.

The reason I like these so much is because there are NO breakfast foods in them and there are NO drinks in them. I find many of these kinds of emergency food have lots of servings of drinks and oats etc. and we won't use those things and I hate paying for things I don't want. This is food, all food and it's good and easy to fix.

Received in 4 days after placing online order with Walmart. Item was well packaged. Opened the container for inspection, all items were accounted for with no leaks of the sealed pouches. Going to be see how long I can stay with only eating the entire Dinner / Lunch contents. Will purchase again! Dennis in Benson, AZ Great price and shipping... thanks Walmart

i bought this item when it was on sales about $15-15 dollars cheaper and i have yet to use it. all items seems as if they are great but this is more affordable...i cannot carry but so many MRE's....so i do not know how ppl store it when u grab what u can carry. this can be used for now or later. if you are 1 person and do not eat much this can last u a very long time if u prep 1 meal a week or so. keep water on hand. most of this food seem full of starch but the calories are reasonable

I purchased this product solely on the reviews of other people. I just wanted to prepare myself for any emergency that may arise. The food is very good actually. Just remember to stockpile water to, as you will need it to add to the packages of food.

I haven't even broken the seal on the bucket because I'm saving it for an emergency. That is why I'm only giving it a "good" rating. I don't know how the food tastes but I have high hopes. I have to admit that it gives me a sense of relief knowing that we have something to fall back on in case of a disaster. I'm planning on purchasing some other products as well. I think for the shelf life and ease of preparation it is a good value.

The product is loaded with carbs. I'm diabetic so I would have to be careful eating these. The packs come in 4 to 8 serving per package. I thought they were similar to mre's. My bad for not reading closer. An 8 serving pack might work well in a survival setting

These are normal meals that you have to cook for as you regularly do because they are not dehydrated, just a mix. I rather will buy Maggi or Knorr pouch soups or other brand that cost much less. In both situations you have to add water and cook for 15-20 minutes. Or better, buy the lead brand MH, a little expensive but I have tried before and are truly dehydrated, you have to add just boiling water and wait 5-7 minutes and it is ready to eat.
