Meal Kit Supply is a U.S. based company with a unique offering – their custom-designed MREs are assembled with an eye towards menu variety and meal diversity. Under the current menus, in a case of 12 MREs, they offer 5 different meat-based MREs, 3 different vegetarian-friendly MREs, and 4 breakfast MREs. Each meal averages around 1,200 calories. This kind of menu variety is usually missing in other civilian MRE brands that usually only offer 6 different menus and few, if any, breakfast items.

Meal Kit Supply MRE Price
There’s no getting around the issue of price with these Meal Kit Supply MREs. A case of 12 of these MREs currently sells for $129.95 but at least includes free shipping. When you compare this against a case of Sopakco Sure-Pak 12 MREs that you can find for $89, it seems like a steep price to pay. The question is…”are they worth it?”. With the Meal Kit Suply MREs, you get:
- More average calories per meal (more food!)
- More menu variety – 10 different menus vs. 6
- Not just entree variety but a wide variety of sides, desserts, spreads, etc.
- Breakfast items
For some shoppers, the amount of food and variety of menus – and especially the guarantee of breakfast items – will make the Meal Kit Supply MREs worth the extra premium. For ordering information, please see their MRE store.
What’s Inside a Meal Kit Supply 12-Case of MREs

3-Course MRE Review
Meal Kit Supply was kind enough to send us a case of their latest MREs so here’s a quick look at the contents of a Meal Kit Supply MRE from 2013:
MRE bag: very nice custom design and layout. I especially like all the nutritional information on the back of the MRE bag!

Meal Kit Supply 6-Pack (MRE-light)
In the United States, Meal Kit Supply also offers a smaller version of their full MRE case. This is a case of 6 MREs and the contents are intended to provider a lighter, more lunch-like meal that contains about half the calories of their full MRE product. It’s also got handles on either side for easy carrying. Here’s a look at the 6-Pack Menus for 2015:

Meal Kit Supply is Canada-Friendly
Meal Kit Supply is unique in the civilian MRE industry in that they have a dedicated online store for Canadian customers. The MREs sold there are CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) inspected and approved for distribution in Canada, which makes them the only civilian MREs that can be easily bought and sold in Canada without the buyer have to worry about shipping their US-purchased MREs through Canadian Customs and having to potentially pay import duties or even have the case of MREs seized. You can check out their Canadian storefront at Meal Kit Supply Canada.
