That's right, fifty cents per meal. I immediately told him I'd take them before he had a chance to change his mind, thinking I was just getting the four I saw. Then, he further surprised me by asking if I wanted some more as he had more in his truck. I asked how many more he had. To make a long story short, I got two cases of mre's (with an inspection date of 10/09) for ...get this....$10!!! He let me have them for $5 per case since I took all he had with him. This is the best score I've had at the flea market in some time.

My best deal on a flea market was 8,00 EURO a case. But that was three years ago!
