Been competitively pricing - taking a small samples of other companies offerings. This one will be a sample also. Arguson farms has consistent quality with their dried fruits etc as well as great competitive pricing. They're providing a fantastic service. Even though I have purchased from other online companies that do this there was great disappointment in some of their hype because well one of them they're broccoli rice soup was inedible it wouldn't no matter how long you cooked it or soaked the rice it would never soften up. That's when I decided to do research and not just buy because of hype. Hoping this sample which was on sale as Arguson farms puts their products on sale a lot here on Amazon. Thus keeping the price extremely competitive against others who sell with their own websites. As a matter of fact I finally figured out the biggest advertiser on the internet for this type of item does not provide serving sizes when you try to purchase because they don't want you to know how expensive they really are! So far products from Arguson have been very delicious, not powdered to dust by shipping. Blueberries are to die for. I will return placiymore information as to quality the supplies were after using them. Where I live You can be trapped in your home due to excess snow or extreme weather, fire, etc. Yes it is Southern California

Great back up food for a camper. Everything have been fantastic in it. Great value. Easy to make meals

Have not tried this brand yet. But I did have a puncture whole in pouches as some others have mentioned. I contacted Amazon they were able to rectify the situation. Replacement came without any problem pouches. Good amount of food for the price.

I'm buying calories. I am buying calories to tuck away for use after all other calories have been consumed. I have this and know it is available. I dont need to worry about it. It is there as part of my "calorie savings account". Not worried about taste, not worried about anything other than calories- preferably a variety of flavors with a good ratio of macros (fat, protein, carbohydrates). Emergency food is what it is, and what it will be. With increasing prices, todays caloric purchase is a savings over tomorrows. So no, I haven't tried it. I HAVE used other Augason Farms products for daily life use and have been pleased. I regularly buy Augason Farms (best price point, best sales). I have tried those items only because the sale price was better than buying non emergency packed food items. I use a lot of tomato powder, dehydrated vegetables, protein crumbles, etc.. and once in awhile a sale will work in my favor. That is when I will buy 2 of something. One for now, one for way later. Rinse and repeat. Certain food items have at least 25 year shelf life, some items are 10 years. No matter, I will eat it all 30 years down the line if need be. Foods dont just go "bad". The date is not a safety issue. It is a quality issue. So maybe the smell, taste, texture, or vitamin content alters a little over time, but it is still edible. Calories are still there. If you want to be sure of a tasty meal that is within the best by date range, then simple stack your pantry with foods that you know and love. Rotate. Have a "working pantry" that you grab from on a daily basis, then have a "storage pantry" that works as your own in home "store". It also serves as your emergency preps. When you need to pull from your storage pantry, be sure to replace. Keep adding to it, one or two cans at a time. one or two bags of something at a time. Emergency food does not need to be emergency packaged food (prices are higher for the packaging, uniformity, processing etc). If "emergency" packaged food is outside your budget, then dont bother. If it is something you are keen on, then look for sales regularly (maybe daily) and buy when the good price strikes. Of course, you can look into creating your own long term storage meals too (mylar, oxy absorbers, pails, etc). Just.. have something. Dont be someone who has bare shelves and scoffs at preparedness because emergency meals taste bad. Nah, buy what is good to you, buy what is affordable to you, buy basic stuff or buy fancy emergency stuff. But have stuff. Prices aren't coming down, prices will continue to go up, food will be harder to come by. So at the very least consider it an investment. And if there is a true need for it in terms of *vaguely gestures around* all else that is going on (weather events, political events, ww3, etc) then you wont be scrambling, begging off neighbors, stealing, etc. So current $60 for nearly 20,000 calories of a variety of food? Not too shabby in light of everything. (same $60 can buy a lot more calories, but be sure to store well for max "freshness").

I'm giving this a five-star review although I haven't tried the food and I hope it emergency won't come up so I should. I learned from another breakfast pill I got from the same brand that some foods like banana chips only last 10 years and not everything is 30 years. The support had told me that and things like bananas and cheeses just don't last as long. Also the support took a very quick time to answer my question when I had asked it on the prior product. The only funny thing with this is the elbow macaroni is good for 30 years and the cheese for the macaroni is only good for 10! Since I'll probably be old and dead by then I'm not going to lose any sleep over it but I was amused by it. So if you want your cheese and your macaroni at the same time make sure the disaster happens within the first 10 years!

With the state of our government, I've finally had to Crack this open after two years. Not receiving snap benefits (which bought this 2 years ago) has really hit hard. The food is delicious. Might be having to rate the milk soon too! The potato soup and chicken rice that I've had so far, have been delicious. Better than MRE meals I've had in the past. It was sealed very well. Large serving sizes.

Arrived a little bit late but was all intact
