I just ran across this auction on eBay:

Case of 12 Emergency Meals by APack Ready Meals MRE
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0310078509

$25 buy-it-now with $20 shipping. $45 is a pretty good price for these, I think. The seller had 6 cases...now she only has 4.

I haven't purchased from her before so here's hoping the transaction goes well.

I got a little worried about this auction. Right after I did a buy-it-now for 2 cases (and paid for it!), I received a notice from eBay that they had cancelled the auction. I think this is one of the MRE auctions that was mass-cancelled in eBay's latest frenzy. But I contacted the seller and she said the MREs were still being shipped.

The other thing I was worried about was that the case pictures from the auction (see below) said the MREs weighed just under 12 pounds. That was off because I know regular military MREs weight 24 pounds. I was afraid I was going to get a mini-case or half-case full of aPacks. Even Ameriqual's website says the cases weigh 18 pounds.

Here are the pics: But when the MREs arrived, I opened one of the cases and every MRE was just right. Here's a typical menu:

• Spaghetti w/Meat Sauce
  Peanut Butter
  Crackers
  Strawberry Pop Tart
  Oatmeal Cookie
  Raisins
  Beverage tube
  FRH, moist towelette, pepper, spoon

1310 calories in that one MRE - just like it says here on their site: http://www.readymeal.com/meals/spaghetti.html

So yay...looks like it was a good auction...and these are definitely great civilian MREs.

Sometimes it is better not to ask questions, but the regular store prices is $69.95 . So how can they sale them for just 25 bucks?!
Thats an awesome deal

I don't know for sure, but I would guess that they were hurricane relief MREs that someone didn't need any longer - so they probably cost the seller $0.
