Long Term Emergency Food Storage

[Carnebwen]

Started doing this myself. Got a reasonable quantity of canned foods (assorted veg, fruits, rice pudding and soups, stew) of the "own brand basics" line. I bought 5 or so each of the stuff I knew I liked. Now Ive tried everything I know what I dont mind eating Im going to do a "big shop" that siad, the big shop if only going to be £50 worth of the same own brand stuff. I will then just cycle through and eat as per usual and top up what I use every week for next to nothing.

Other than tinned food, has anyone tried any of the 25 year long term foor storage?
The only brands I could find easily in the UK were Mountain House and Wiseman. Though I'd prefer the Wiseman stuff since you dont have to open an entire #10 can to take what you need. As Im sure people have found with so many things in the US, you end up paying more for the postage than the value of the items. Both brands do a "one month supply" for about £130-150. Though depending on brand that might mean ONE MEAL per day or a meal and a breakfast. It isnt supposed to be a full days food.

Ive looked at MREs as well. But again even on ebay or auction sites you are looing at £10 per "day". Though in this case it IS a meal, and you get a days worth of food calorie wise and assorted other stuff, like moist toilette or chewing gums etc.
