It is comparable to Thrive or Provident Pantry.

Just in case you don't know, Sam's has the All-in-One Pails Kit that feeds 4 people for a year (also had fire starter and filtering water bottle) for $200 off. There is also a kit that is all #10 cans that feeds 2 for 90 days that is $50 off.

You can get a list of the specifics on the Sam's Club website.

Before you order from them, you might double-check prices against the specials Costco is running on Thrive FD/DH foods.

found all kinds of reviews and people whining about how difficult the pails were to open and a few complaining about leaking packages but no one talked about taste or consistency. Actually, my Sam's ad in the mail today is what made me start looking into this.

Great stuff. No issues for me, I have tried several of their items and have some in stock now. I buy from them on their web site, they have some great daily deals. What are you wanting to get from them? Here's another good site too. http://beprepared.com/

Probably nothing too extensive. Just storm prep.Assorted meals. Realistically, a couple of weeks worth for 2 people should be plenty.

I saw the Augason Farms emergency ration buckets on sale at Wal-Mart the other day, and meant to ask here about them. IIRC, a bucket contained enough to feed four people for 72 hours and was on sale for about $60. Wondered if that would be a good buy for emergency rations, and if these meals taste halfway decent.

that was my initial question...... is the stuff edible? Wise doesn't have the greatest reputation, Mountain House does. This is one I just haven't dealt with
