That's roughly $66 a month if you break it down over a year. Is that a good deal on a year's worth of food?!?

Yes, that is a good deal for a years worth of food.... grocery bills around my house are always over $100/month. Add in the longevity of freeze dried, but subtract the inconvenience of re-hydration, and I think i'll be buying a little more for the stash. My mormon neighbors might even want to go halvsies with me on this![]()
this stuff is good we have 4 or so cases of mres and the thrive stuff blows it away i will probably be buying another years worth next year at tax time
I like the Thrive products and just signed up to start receiving a monthly order (they call it the Q as in queue). It's a great way to keep food flowing in and keeping with a budget. Using this process, they give you the best pricing that they offer (better than retail, their normal web pricing and even Costco). You can add to, change or suppend your monthy shipments as needed. You buy only the things you like and will eat so you don't have waste from paying for things you have no use for. You can also get better than website pricing if you work directly with one of their "Independent Consultants". They can give you Q level pricing on bulk orders, Shelf Reliance storage racks, etc.
Freeze dried, dehydrated, canned and MREs all have their place in prepardness. I have some of all types for different reasons/purposes and I rotate all of it. I have decent garden and buy fresh too.
Below is the link to the website. Lots of info and you can contact Katy (Independent Consultant) for more info. Her contact info is on the website.

If you are trying to navigate the Q, it can be a bit confusing until you play with it a little. It's actually pretty slick once you figure out all the features. I can walk you through it if you are having problems.
I would say that is a pretty good deal. I personally like to keep a variety of different products. My plan is similar to Rotts and includes freeze dried, MREs, canned and of course water.
if you really shop around, different places, different deals, different coupons, you can buy a years worth of canned foods with quite a bit of variety for dang cheap.
