So how many MRE's/Rations do you eat every week?

Post by bl00k » Thu Nov 22, 2007 10:01 am

I no more than 1 or 2 per week. I want to eat an MRE when it's really necessary. And to tell you the truth, it's actually *never* really necessary right now. So i eat an mre when it can save me time, which is once or twice a week. Otherwise i can just as easily prepare a meal. :mrgreen:

I'd say I average maybe one a week. I'm out of town one or two nights a week on business so I usually have an MRE in the hotel instead of eating out junk food. But that number can jump up to 2-3 per week when I'm doing reviews/taste-tests for the website.

Well.. Usually I reserve them for when the wifey is out, but I'm getting a case of MCWs in that I plan on trying out. Otherwise 1 a month here, but like those shelf stable meals I plan on getting a few and checking them out soon, I've seen them at the store, but I just haven't picked any up yet.

That would be my average as well. I usually grab an MRE(or 2) to go for on the tractor when we're busy on the farm.
I still have to eat my way trough two cases of 1996 British rats (B&F). So I'll be eating MRE's again somewhere by the end of next year :)

Hi,
I eat rations 1) during the amateur radio field contests; 2) when my wife is in a bad mood... :lol:

Well, I usually eat one or two a week if I'm short of cash and can't make it to the supermarket to buy real food. Kind of sucks but it's necessary. :?

How often I eat MRE

Post by kturnerga » Mon Dec 10, 2007 2:31 am

I eat MRE's quite infrequently given they cost 7.00 a pop average (Grand Slams at Denny's are 2.00 at night nowadays from 10PM until 3AM or so) They sometimes lack roughage and not all of them have menu items that I like. But when they do.....

I want to get hold of some cold weather rations to take hiking. Then I can freeze the other CWRs until disaster strikes or thaw them out come the next trip.
