Noticed Costco has the 20 year shelf life food buckets back in stock here... Not the most complete food source, but for 66 bucks you cant go wrong buying a couple...
Good to add to your food supply for the beginner or the advanced prepper... ;)
Check it out. We have a couple stored!

Thrive is hit or miss. They do have some good stuff, but a few I've tried were really bad. I hated the mushrooms, milk, and the tvp bacon was basically bacoh bacon bits lol. I prefer LDS Cannery milk which I lovingly refer to as "Mormon Milk" O0 And it's waaay cheaper. LDS stuff is as cheap as it gets.
As for the Emergency buckets from Costco, not a fan of those, either. I bought a few and tried all of the meals, only a few were palatable for me. They ALL need seasoning and they come up way short on caloric needs.

Thanks for sharing your personnal experiences :thumbsup: I ended up ordering wise foods from Mojo. Couldn't even find any of the buckets at the waipio Costco.

I've tried a few Wise Food meals, they were okay. I thought maybe they were made by the same manufacturer as Mountain House, but I'm not so sure.
Consider trying Mountain House, if you haven't already. Taste test the single/double meal packs from Sports Authority or get them discounted from REI, and free shipping if you're a member. I couldn't live off em for months, but for short term, they rock. Best I've tasted. You can also score the #10 can sizes on Amazon with free shipping.

The latest online catalog has some food buckets. I ordered a few months ago and they charged a little extra to ship. not bad tho...

Gotta check the Costco stores. From time to time they carry the buckets. Hawaii Kai store had a couple pallets the day of the last tsunami warning. I bet they sold out the next day. ;)
