I just picked up 40 cases of MRE's (new) for 900.00! That's 480 meals. I cant believe it. That's a fantastic price. Shipping for free too! up.gif

Hulkster, it was a guy on ebay. He said that he bought a storage unit sight unseen and it was full of hundreds of cases. He's on there now. There is one lot of 33 cases left for 985.00. Here you go. ebay MREs

http://www.mreinfo.com/us/mre/mre-menus.html This is a great website for information about MRE's. I use the menu so I know what's in what MRE. Just look at the pack date on the box and use the menu for that date. I like to mix and match MRE's so the menu helps me find what I actually want to take with me on a trip. It sucks to just grab an MRE only to discover you don't want to eat anything inside of it.

Interesting. The price isn't bad if they're edible. I hope you'll bust a few out and give us a taste-testing review. I wonder how the Chicken Fajita compares to the MH product? Might actually be the MH product, cleverly disguised? What do these meals weigh individually? They used to be a little on the heavy side, I'm wondering if they've decreased the weight much.

The MRE Chicken Fajita is very bland, you can spice it up and make it taste better. I have never had the MH Chicken Fajita, but it's probably similar. The MRE comes with it's own Tortilla's, to that's a bonus. MRE's weight about 1.5lbs on average depending on the menu, and whats in the MRE. The weight hasn't really changed much over the years. If anything they may be a tad heavier. Best practice is to strip them down if you plan to use them in the backcountry. I usually ditch the main entree, unless it's something I really like.

How long will it take you to eat all of those? Perhaps a little resale with markup?

Aa it turned out I (and a few others) got scammed. eBay gave me my money back when the product never came. Since then Ive gotten ten other cases at higher prices.
