To get the beast deal, I had to buy a pallet of these. These MRE's are brand-new, inspected July 2025 and are certified for 5 years. There are both "A" and "B" menu's available. I'm keeping a few for myself and my wife, but I don't need 48 cases of MRE's for just the two of us ;-)
The Defense Department stipulates 24 different entree's, you can google "MRE menu" and you see the different meals. The boxes are labeled "A" and "B" menu's, and each case contains 12 MRE's.
You never know when there will be another COVID shutdown, a natural disaster like the floods in Kerrville or the fires in Stinnett and Fritch. Throwing a coupla cases in the closet is like owning a fire extinguisher; a small expense ahead of time pays for itself many times over.
You won't find newer or less expensive MRE's than these. I'm glad I could bless my neighbors in Stephenville with the same deal I found.
