Augason Farms Variety Breakfast & Dinner Emergency Food Supply

Thanks had to taste great !!

Arrived a little bit late but was all intact

Bought this to add to my emergency supply kit on a recommendation from a friend. I haven’t opened the tub or eaten any of the stuff yet, so I can’t really speak to that, but I like the packaging, the shelf life. Exactly what I needed at an affordable 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").

This item is essential for emergencies. If you ever need to use it, that’s great; and if you don’t need it, that’s fine too. At least you’ll have something prepared for a natural disaster. The shelf life is quite long, so if you don’t end up using it, you can always donate it to a charity or a homeless shelter. It’s never a waste of money. Cheers!
