I would never by MREs in a store :
1. I dont know any store who sells MREs in my area
2. youre right, they are too expensive in stores if you payed 7.30USD for a pac
3. special MREs like RCW,MCW,Kosher and so on are very hard to find,I think the most stores just have standard MREs or civilian MREs.
by the way, I heared that also wornick stopped selling civilian MREs is that rigth ? if yes, then Sopacko is the only one I know who sells civilian MREs.
Yap, the MREs i bought are from Sopacko and they come in a plastic outer wrapping and they ain't too bad. Huh, regarding RCW i seen some in ebay but hell, its expensive. Still i am getting some to try...just a few packets.

Hi,
on the label of the foil there is the name "complete meal kit"as you can see on the photo
outside of the box (six single pacs inside) there was the name "sunmeadow-meal pack".

Check this sub-page:
http://www.sunmeadow.net/military_turkey.html
If you note the NSN# you can find the exact meal that you found listed on this page.
I can't believe there's another group of military rations now, as though there aren't enough variants.
The problem I see with these are they are mostly junk food, nothing that is really nutritious however.

@Mirage and @223 :
,thanks for those links and informations to the homepage of sunmeadow !
I think for the future these sunmeadow Meal kits are additional to the standard MREs, I can see them more and more at the training troops over here.

Just to let you all know. Those Sunmeadow Shelf Stable Meals are a joke. They cost $98 for a case of 18 of them. They have to be kept frozen too. MRE's are a much better, and can you believe, CHEAPER alternative. That's why the jacka$$ mudrfukrs don't put a price on their webpage.
I'm glad the info was brought to our attention. It looked like they may be an alternative to MRE's for my use in wildland firefighting, but not at those prices.
