Would you buy "old" preps if they were cheap?
Just like the title says. If there are limits on age/savings, feel free to comment.
For the record, I recently did. I had the opportunity to obtain a large lot of Mountain House dinner-entrée type food, in #10 cans, for about 35% of the price of new product. They are about 10 years old.Get your "Guns Save Lives" stickers today! PM for more info.

While I'll keep my own food long beyond it's expiration date, I wouldn't buy it that way. BTW I do have some really old Mountain House up in my cabin at camp and it still eats good. Once in a while I'll eat one just for the hell of it.

The Mountain House that I bought years ago was some damn good stuff. All of it. Their beef stroganoff and pasta primavera were a couple of my favorites. And the desserts were damn good too. I seem to recall something like a blueberry cheesecake that was good enough to serve in a fine restaurant. It was a far cry from that shit we had in Boy Scouts back in the early '70s.

We were fed c rats from ww2 in basic so I probably wouldn't have a problem with the mountain house.
Mmm..... 40 year old ham and eggs.

Why not. Why waste money on something that's unlikely to be needed anyway.
Oh yeah... guns...

They're pretty good for the price, even better discounted. MH is nice, because you can get the 8lb cans and it's got a long shelf life. I keep some down stairs in case of emergency. I actually like the Peak Refuel meals a little better for taking on trips, but they cost more and don't last as long.
