I bought a bunch of packets to sample a while back. I tried the breakfast skillet last week. Super easy to use. Just boil water, pour in with the contents, let sit for a little while, stir up and eat. I have to say that I liked it. I mean not a home cooked meal, but it was actually pretty good. Much better than the Wise Company ones that I've tried so far.
ETA: Posted pics. I should have taken a better pic of the finished contents outside the bag, but that's how the directions say to eat/enjoy it. Straight from the bag. Looks like someone chewed up a bunch of stuff and spit it into the bag from the pic. (Sorry) However, that's kind of what breakfast skillets are anyways. A bunch of stuff thrown together and stir fried.

I bought a tub last week. pretty much my new routine is when ever I go shopping, to buy a case of water $4 each.

From Costco?
Sam's has a bucket of another brand, but haven't tried yet.

Don't buy those buckets they are CRAP, it's all,soup,type foods that will give you the shits and that's the last thing you need if trying to survive,
I tied it with the intent of eating only that for a month (30 day bucket) I lost like 6lb in a week.

You’re referring to the Sams bucket?
If so, I wasn’t gonna try the Sams one. I at least want to try before I go with a bucket.

Yeah the same/Costco bucket. The 30days for $100 thing.
Also to point out it takes a lot of water for them as well.

Darn. I just picked up two buckets from Costco last night. If you still have some when I come back from a work trip, I might be interested in picking up a couple.

Good thing I didn’t try that one then. Went to Costco Hawaii Kai last night. They had Mountains House 4-Day buckets for $59.99. Didn’t see the one that they had at Sams. Or at least it wasn’t near the Mountain House pallet.

Jeep from The Econo Challenge did reviews on almost every Mountain House product available, although some videos are dated.

Tried the chicken and rice packet. It was good. I enjoyed the breakfast skillet way more. Still definitely better than the Wise Foods ones that I've tried. I could also see these being good for camping trips where perishables would be inconvenient. Would have been perfect for when I used to go backpacking to fish at mountain lakes in WA. I have chicken teriyaki and I think beef chili left to try from the sample packs that I bought.

I can understand things like 30 days for $100 or whatever, since the cost per day is reasonable at $3, as is the MH meals for around $2/serving.
But how does stuff like $80 for 5 days of food for 1 person make sense? $80 will buy you a ton of canned food that would last you much longer than 5days. At that price point, the food had better be gourmet.

You're paying for the name and type of food. I remember when Sports Authority had the MH for about $7 each meal. You can get a can of tuna for $1.50. They know that people going camping/hiking don't want to eat cans of tuna, but rather a scramble or teri chicken and rice.

For me, these types of packaged foods are to supplement other stuff that I've accumulated over the years. That and if the MH can be stored for 30 years, that is a benefit over many canned goods. I've eaten some canned goods way beyond the dates listed on the can, but not 10+ years. The MH is also good for stuff like camping where weight will be a consideration. The freeze dried contents are pretty light.
I see what you're saying about the cost per meal. At least for me, it's not unreasonable. That and again, diversity of available food is something that is important to me. I have tons of canned tuna at home, but I am sure I would get sick of that pretty quick.
