MREs via Walmart.com

Post by Dekard » Wed May 10, 2017 12:00 am

Walmart recently had on their website Emergency Essentials One Week Food Supply, 74 pc for $67 which was a pretty good deal for 21 entrees and a boatload of sides, crackers, breads, and spreads.

I ordered one box to test and now notice that same product is out of stock and now costs $127.

They also have Emergency Essentials Improved MRE 72-Hour Food and Water Supply, 70 pc for $44 - which seems to be less of a good deal because it only has 9 entrees.

In the box I received, the oldest entrees/sides were 2015 production and the newest (breads, cakes) were 2016 production.
- Vegetarian Taco Pasta
- Grilled Jalapeno Pepper Jack flavoredBeef Patty
- Hash Brown Potatoes with Bacon, Peppers and Onions
- Black Beans in a Seasoned Sauce
- Sante Fe Style Rice and Beans
- Au Gratin Potatoes
- Marinara Sauce with Meatballs
- Chicken Pesto Pasta
- Chili and Macaroni

Cakes, all of them! and Brownies and crackers.



If you order, pay attention to see if it's a 2nd party retailer as that may impact your delivery times.

The reason for the price variance is because the item is offered by a market partner. As far as I know Walmart does not carry MREs directly. Very cool find though. It's cool to be able to say you bought them at Walmart :)
