Price gouging at longlifefood.com

True, but I haven't seen much of a free market on the MRE entrees. Longlifefoods seems to be about the only place that gets a decent selection of all the MRE parts. Sure, places like TheEpicenter.com get some stuff in and the prices are competitive, but it's nothing like LLF. Oh well.

Yeah, lots of sellers getting out of hand with their pricing. We have a place called Sunny's Surplus that sells a complete MRE for something aroudn $8-9 each. The cheapest I can get without having to mail order is $72 plus tax for a case which isn't bad considering you have to pay shipping to most places online which will bring your price up similarly.
The best price I have ever paid on a case was $45 and it was a fluke. Some guy at a gunshow who had a bunch of Katrina MREs didn't know what the market was or didn't care but the very next show he added $30 to the price and still sold them all out.

A little off topic..but the prices mre cases are getting on ebay

Civilian MREs W/heaters

Out of curiosity I was checking out longlifefood.com and noticed that they now offer civilian MREs with heaters included. They also use the tan bags like the military MREs instead of the clear ziplocks like most civilian MREs.
Is this something new or am I just discovering it? Is this something they';re "Getting away with"? Nobody else sells civilian MREs with heaters, why do/can they?

I don't recall when LLF started selling their own homemade MREs with heaters included but it doesn't surprise that they're doing it. There's not really anything preventing anyone from selling homemade MREs with heaters - it just changes how much it costs you to make and also changes how you can ship them. With heaters included, you can only ship via ground.
