- Deceptive

This distributor needs to state what will be shipped. It matters. I am looking for 6 months provisions for a family of 6. I will not buy under these vague terms of what will be delivered.Price Value Quality
From The Ready Store:
Paul, I am sorry there isn't currently a better way. Our suppliers tell us what products they are producing and ship us a variety of those items. In an effort to produce the product at the best price possible and provide fresh product they have found that this is the best way to do it. While it does not give the customer the ability to chose the exact meals they want it provides them with a great solution at an affordable price with a very good shelf life.
As for being deceptive I would have to disagree, we specifically state that a variety will be sent out and then list the items that could possibly be sent out.
Thanks,
The Ready Store
- if you are really hungry...

I bought two cases. Like others have stated, both cases are the same. Ideally I would want two difference cases too. I have read how others said the meal is not that great cold. I MUST respond that these are people eating this FOOD that are not starved, and are NOT hungry. I have gone days without food myself, and trust me this will taste VERY good if you are indeed HUNGRY/STARVED!Value Quality Price
From The Ready Store:
Neal we try to have as much variety but when it comes to ordering MREs from the manufacturers they ship us the varieties they have at the time. When we place our next order it will likely come with a slightly different mix which will mean when we assemble this particular product it will likely have a different variety.
Thanks,
The Ready Store

There is a good variety in the 72-pack, and the meals are surprisingly good - better than I expected for "K-Rations."Value Quality Price

I like the small size and portability these give me. In a pinch these will be invaluable.Price Value Quality

I like the small, easy to carry size and they are very tasty and filling. I hear people complain about the taste, but they sure beat eating grass!Price Value Quality

I purchased MREs from a few different sources to build up my food supply. These MREs were all fresh (2012) and I received 6 different entrees (12 of each). HOWEVER, there was a nice "MRE Entree Variety" sticker on the side of the shipping box complete with "The Ready Store" packing tape. Not exactly the privacy I was expecting (considering most of my supplies are ordered from the internet, the UPS and FedEx guys are here on a regular basis).Value Quality Price

- A cornerstone purchase, but go back for variety

I unpacked my shipment today. 12 each Beef Stew, Pasta with Marinara Sauce & Veg, Pinto Bean Stew with Ham, Vegetarian Chile, and 24 chicken Alfredo. If you want variety, choose individually. It will cost more, but you ensure the choice. This makes a good base, but I'll be adding variety.Quality Price Value
- I will order again.

This was my first order through the Ready Store and I am very satisfied with the experience. I purchased the 72 Entree MRE pack and it shipped the next day, with an arrival estimate of 4 days, over a weekend, to California. There was a slight hiccup with the carrier as my address is not easily found. I cleared that up and it has just arrived the day after the scheduled delivery. I received six varieties of MRE Entrees, 12 each to make up 72. I was expecting maybe two or three varieties. I am very happy with my purchase.Quality Price Value
- I liked it

I have tried about three different meals from the package. Placed in boiling water for several minutes. This food is heavy and I like to lighten each meal a little by adding some very hot water to thin it down a little. Each meal is tastey and filling. I paid full price but if you can catch it on sale you are getting a bargain.Value Quality Price
- good for groups
-
With 72 entrees, this case is an even better bulk discount than others at about $2.75 an entree. I do wish that there could be a good bundled deal that includes heaters. If your group is large enough this could be beneficial, but if you don't have a large group I couldn't see getting this, the self life isn't long enough to go through all of it in time. At 3 servings a day, one person would be eating these for 24 day straight!Price Value Quality
- Yummy.

Cheese Tortellini is the best one out of the bunch. In the Army we all fought over it because it tasted so good.Value Quality Price
- OK taste

I had never had MREs before but I was told these are awesome for emergency preparedness. The pouch was easy to open and I decided to eat it many style right out of the pouch, cold. Eating it cold was not a good idea. Kind of gross that way. Then I squirted it out onto a plate and warmed it up in the micro and it was way better. Kind of like any prepared canned food you would eat except it supposed to last a lot longer.Price Value Quality
- Entree's till payday

What more needs to be said? Great variety, great value, great taste (according to MY taste buds) and great shelf life. As with any food product, store in a cool, dry place and it will last a long time. Great for emergency provisions. Gives some peace of mind. Did you get one yet? What are you waiting for?Value Quality Price
- Good stuff

I was very suprised at how good this product tastes. I gave a few out to friends and they were impressed also. They plan on buying some of these also. I was chided for "end of the world" fears but I pointed out that the electric goes off quite often around here. Very good product!Value Quality Price
- Good bulk price
-
I think that this case is a good bulk price, but it should be bundled with the heaters, that would be perfect!Quality Price Value
From The Ready Store:
Dani, not everyone wants the heaters so we made a heater pack of 72 that goes along perfectly with this kit for those that do.
Thanks!

We have made several purchases of MRE's and other items from The Ready Store and from what we have sampled from the MRE's, we are very happy with them so far.Price Value Quality
- Great standby for camping, survival
-
This is a no-frills item that comes out to be a great per-meal value. They'll last long enough to be usable for several camping trips. There are 5 or 6 tasty (for an MRE) flavors, so you should cycle enough to not get too bored. Not a whole lot of calories for a long backcountry hike, but enough to get you through.Value Quality Price
- Overall great though lack of variety

I bought two cases of these and both of them were the same variety of entrees, other than that its a great product!Price Value Quality
- obviously for survival not for taste or variety

These are not like the ones I used in the U.S.M.C (the main entree ) the rest of the kit is. I was impressed with the mre when in the service. small size yet enough nutrients and vitamins for one meal a day with snacks.Price Value Quality
The flavor of these is not like the ones ive had and learned to love, these taste a little like multi-vitamins with a hint of what it is supposed to be, for instance the beef stew has more than a hint of vitamins. the variety is limited as is the taste of some, others not too bad. To sum it up,, I would get them for survival use and not much else.
- not for me

Too heavy for me in a grab n go bag. Bag was too hard to open, not to my taste...but would be ok as last resort.Price Value Quality
- Super Happy

I almost did not buy this item after reading previous reviews noting the poor assortment of meals not to mention just not knowing what we'd get; as the mother of kids that was a real concern. I just received my shipment and was very happy with the assortment of meals received: BBQ Sauce w/ Chicken black beans & potatoes, White chicken w rice & veg, veggie lasagna, chili & mac, beef stew & spaghetti w meat sauce. Although we bought this as emergency food and hope to never need to use it I feel so much better knowing that it is food my family will happily eat. You never know, maybe we'll try them just for the heck of it. Thanks, A Dewees of Portland, OregonPrice Value Quality

It is probably somewhat my fault but I thought that I ordered complete MRE's. The picture shown does not reflect what I ordered, but the meals taste good and will go into my food storage system. Just be sure of what you exactly are ordering.Value Quality Price
From The Ready Store:
Darren, the variety pack case of 72 is a variety of MRE entrees. I will look over the product page and make things a little more clear. We are in the process of re-shooting product photos so I will make sure extra attention is paid to this product so the picture tells the story better.
Thanks for the heads up,
The Ready Store

I ordered two of the Military Meals Entree Variety Packs - That equals 144 individual meals. I understand we as customers can't request which of the meals we can receive. But the description for the product does say we’ll receive 4-6 different flavors of the 25 available flavors. With that said, of the 144 individual meals I did receive, here are the amounts and flavors I received:Quality Price Value
Mexican Style Chicken Stew – 58
Pinto Beans with Ham – 10
Lentil Stew with Potatoes and Ham – 12
Shredded Beef in Barbecue Sauce – 20
Vegetarian Taco Pasta – 22
Spaghetti with Beef and Sauce – 22
Really? I received 58 of one meal while only receiving 10 of another? To add insult to injury, the sticker applied to each meal were so poorly attached that they overlapped and stuck to other individual meals. All the meals were just thrown into the box and therefore nearly every meal is stuck to each other because of the over-lapped stickers. What a mess. I’ll not be back.
From the Ready Store:
Arthur, we will be in contact after reviewing the details of your order. I agree that variety breakdown does not match our own internal guidelines for packing that product. While you did get 6 flavors (the max variety listed) the ratios of the 6 swing too much from one the chicken stew where you got 58 to another the pinto beans and ham where you only got 10.
Thanks,
