wanted some casese of wornick mre's

[Eistee]

You do realise for how much a case is usually traded?

[jim_w333]

For how much are they usually traded? I have bought them for anywhere 20.00 to 30.00 a case of American mre's how much do u think is fair?

[Eistee]

Well at least in germany they are traded for 5$ per MRE so 50-60$ per case would be fair for genuine MRE´s in my opinion

[jim_w333]

Well my friend that's why I like deals here in America if you buy 20cases you can buy them for 25.00 if you buy 30 the price go's down. But I can not afford 50.00 or 60.00 plus shipping. A closed mouth does not get fed. It does not hurt to ask.What kind of food comes in a German mere? My guess is snitzel potatoes and a beer? Not being a wise guy I liked school lunches. I am open to prices Thanks jim

Ok sorry i thought you just wanted 1 or two cases, i can understand that you can get discount when buying in bulk

[jim_w333]

No need for apologizes I understand but for a family of four a couple cases would not last long in an emergency' and I was not being smart asking you what comes in a German mere id love to get sausage potatoes and a beer. But can you tell me what comes in them please thanks.

in German MRE´s is a full 24 Hour supply worth of food it Contains:
2x Main Entree (e.g. Rice with chicken medallions, or lentil stew) very yummy
1x Dessert (Fruit Salad or Semolina pudding) very good as well
1 Package of German "Panzerplatten" (very Hard and sweet Biscuits) very good
1 Can of German Wholegrain bread (very malty)
4x packages of powdered drinks ( makes about 2 Liters of Drink)
2x Meatspread
1x "Natural" Spread (very bland cheesespread)
2x Jam
2x Dried Coffee
2x Dried Black tea
4 packages of Sugar
package of Salt
2x coffee creamer
wet napkin
dry napkin
Water purification tablets
Matches
a Pack of Spearmint Bubblegum
and a Chocolate bar

Thats about all thats in them, all in all a very good and Heavy (1,7kgs) Ration when you consider the price of just 10-15€

That does sound das gute mein fiendish that is a good amount of chow but am I right in understanding you eat the same entrées every meal? Like they do not mix them up ? The fun times we had was trading in the field this for that my turkey for your chicken etc...my brownie for your oatmeal cookie

If you're looking for bulk, have a look on eBay, there are both military and civilian versions offered for decent prices. If you're only buying a case or two, $60-70/case shipped is a decent deal these days for the genuine article. Commercial (A-Pack, Sure-Pak, etc) go for $40-50. I see an entire pallet of A-Pack (with heaters) right now for $1200 + $500 freight; 48 cases x 12 MREs/case = 576 meals at about $2.95 each. They have many of the same items a "real" MRE does, but in different combinations and packaging--there is plenty of info and opinions/reviews here on this site to sort the different brands and offerings out for you.

I have 6 cases in the closet for the "just in case" scenarios, though that's just for me... Keep in mind that they do expire, some components go bad before others--so I try and rotate mine out on camping trips, at work, etc. My goal is to keep them under 10 years old, starting to weed them out once they reach 5 years.

am I right in understanding you eat the same entrées every meal?

No, there are 19 different types of EPas, each holding 2 entrees makes a total of 38 different entrees.
