And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Couple this kind of thing with some canned food, some dry rice and beans, and you could live for a long time without going to the store
$105 for (22) 200-300 calorie "meals"? It'll be a cold day in....
Go to walmart, buy Knorr noodle/rice/pasta envelopes for $1 each. Also while there buy Great Value brand canned chicken in bulk for about $2. a can. Go to Target and buy canned vegetables for about 50 cents a can. And on and on. With a selection of spices and dried herbs added it is not hard for my wife and I to eat $2 a meal suppers indefinitely. We've been doing just that since we moved to ruralville 15 years ago cause the stores are so far away. We have several years of hard food on hand at all times. We buy fresh produce locally, mostly from the farmers.
...and Mountain House doesn't? Anyway, the point was that with just a little bit of effort anyone can eat frugally and pretty good for a long time into the future if they want to.
I use Mountain House meals when backpacking. Buying #10 cans brings the cost down significantly. They are also in my emergency food supply because they have a 30 year shelf life.
I'm in the process of buying emergency food buckets for my Dad and I. Scary times.

Check the ingredients on the Knorr packets - - -
ReplyDeleteMost of the Knorr products I have checked have MSG.
MSG won’t kill you near as fast as being broke and starving.
