Hey guys! Heads up on a deal I found. There is a guy here in the States that had a case of Norwegian Arctic Rations that are still fresh. He's kind of high on his prices, but I didn't have to worry about them making it here unmolested.
Anyway, he has 4 left, one of them is a breakfast. He wants $40 each for them. Very expensive since they are just one ration each. But they are here in the States and are fresh.
I will be here another two days so if you want one, let me know. BTW, I already got the Reindeer Casserole from him.

Anytime brother. I called him a couple hours after posting and asked what he would take for the last 4 and he said he sold them. It was fast.

Are these really rare? It seems that everytime they show up, within days or hours get sold out.

Not so rare in the EU. But pretty rare to find them already in the States.

Yeah, I found a Norwegian website that sells cases. But it's really expensive when you compare them to US MRE's. The whole case is north of $500 for 24 rations.

Do realize the cost of living is very high, and the wages are in line with that. The average salary in Norway is over $4000 a month after taxes according to Wikipedia.

Only the rich Norwegians can afford to eat those rations
The poor US folks could probably afford 1 case as well, all we have to do is create a group buy. Chip in, collect the money and get the case.

That's what we were going to do with Nordic. WAs going to buy 2 cases. Everyone was pitching in.
