Menu's A and B. What would a fair price for multiple cases be?

Personally I would try for under $50 each if buying in bulk. I try not to go over $65 if possible. I just bought 7 cases with a 2020 inspection date for $58 per case, I did however drive 2.5 hours each way from them. Seller thru in 15 loose MREs just for the drive I had to make. So worth IMHO.

I recently spent $65 per case, but prices in CT are generally higher than a good portion of the country.

That is for each, a single A&B case 2016, no bulk discount here

On slighty older cases like that, between $50 and $60 is what I end up paying

As mentioned, it's going to vary based on your location. Here in Southern WI, we frequently have 2019/2020 cases popping up for $50 a pop. It would have to be a good deal if it were an older box.

All I can add is that current issue 2018 production MREs in the Commissary are now $9 each or $108 per case.

Where do you get them for 65 in CT? I'm right up the road in Springfield

I got a bit of a deal at Army Barracks in Newington, cause i am a frequent customer, i think they actually price a case around $70-80 but will be back there soon and can check for u.

Newington would be like a 45min drive for u. 91S to 15S

Edit: just called them and i was way off. $90 per 12pk case w/ heaters. $70 per 12pk case no heaters. I got $65 per case w/heaters, so i must have got a lucky mistake.

They sell individuals w/heaters for like $8-9 if there is a particular single u have been looking for. Mostly Ameriqual, if that matters. Looked to be mainly 2016 production.

Cheaper online, save the drive

Yeah that's about the same as West Springfield. Newington is a much better store tho. Way more selection.
