Can you buy shelf stable food at Aldi's?

Good point and no. My dh and I shrink wrap our Aldi food and put into storage containers. I am banking the disgusting preservatives in food will keep it ok for a while.

Fixed it for you because I wanted to see it right side up! 
If they have this at my Walmart, I'd buy it.

ETA: now that I can read it all - it looks like it will feed one person for 12 days (it's a 4 person, 72 hour bucket). So it comes to a little over $5 a day per person. Less than $2.00 a meal is not a bad deal. Don't think you can beat that (?).

Well... good deal or not, it's nice to see these types of products in the regular stores. It might get someone who is otherwise unprepared ... a little less so.

No problem, thanks for posting! I may make a special trip to Walmart tomorrow to buy some of these. The more I think about it, this is a great deal. No trans fats, no hydrogenated oils, no MSG, vegetarian, less than $2.00 a meal? Worth the trip for sure.

It would be wise for anyone buying these items to use some of them now. The "add water and eat" stuff is good, even excellent, BUT, if you are not used to it, and in an ugly situation where that is the only food available.... you just might find that the change in diet will give you the runs, and that is the last thing you need in a critical situation..... just a thought.... buy it, certainly, looks like a good deal, but the old statement..... store what you eat, eat what you store..... is certainly correct......

Yes, I could beat that.
That package is roughly $4.70 a pound for what looks like pasta, rice, potatoes, milk and some vegetables with maybe some meat product thrown in, all in a handy looking plastic bucket. No thanks.

Neither here nor there.
Especially the younger crowd that believe they don't have the time or the skill to put something like this together themselves. This would be a good start for most young families, especially if they purchased more than one of them.

It does, it'd probably make me sick which is why I make my own up and vaccum seal them, but if I was absolutely starving...

If your in the Des Moines Area the WM on SE 14th Street is carrying the pails!
Walmart Supercenter# 1723-Des Moines 5101 Se 14Th St Des Moines, IA 50320 (515) 287-7700
This is stuff to store for a bugout, not for regular home use.
What you eat during a bug out or when traveling is not necesarily what you eat at home or in your bugout location where you will have more facilities.
Also good for camping.
I already have most of my LTS food for home and I do cycle through it.
For me, most freeze dried food is too expensive for regular home use but it's perfect if you have to leave your home for a few days or weeks.

Not in Alabama! This is the slowest state I have ever seen for preps, healthy food, and numerous thing I've looked for.
I can order but won't. And if you want to order it from WM, it will cost you 69.00

either way its good to see stuff like this in a store most people use ..gets them thinking ..add a few of those pails along with some canned meats ..like tuna or spam ..or dried beef .. good fast and cheap way to put away some stuff .. they already have mountine house food in the camping section ..along with the nice evil black rifles they are now selling ..seems maybe some one told them what kind of people shop there ..normoal working class.

25 year shelf life? Did they use O2 absorbers?
Looking at the contents, this will keep you alive but not very healthy.

Located where the DHS cameras can get a good picture of those buying. Just being paranoid...

Marymonde, I live in St. Charles county. Which store was it that has these? I may check them out. Thanks for telling us about them. I don't like the idea of eating soy though but in a pinch I guess one would eat anything. Wish I had learned how to dehydrate and preserve my own, just no time now.

Looks like the 30 day pack is the best bargain. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=20532426&findingMethod=rr
Also if you take a look at Auguson Farms website you will notice that there 30 day kit is $50 more than the one at Walmart, you can also get free shipping from Walmart.

It was at the Wentzville Wal-Mart, across the road from Schnuck's.
And right, I don't like the soy idea, but if agree it's better than nothing.

$4.90 per lb. It says 4 person 72 hour (3 day) kit. At 3 meals a day, that's 36 meals, but it also says 203 servings. Does that mean you each get 5.6 servings per meal? Is this the same or similar to the food buckets Jim Baker, minus Tammy Kamart is hawking on Evangelical TV?

Keep It Real...
$63 bucks for THAT?? 
pfff...no thanks.
Hell, I'd rather have a case of Campbells Chunky Soup!
@ $1.88 per can X 30...at least it's edible.

Actually when you go to the walmart site, put your zip code in and it will check all the stores within 50 miles to see if they have it in stock.
I'm in central Florida and I have a Walmart 6 miles away that carries it.
To answer your question, yes they ship this and many other emergency supply type stuff for free as long as the order is over 49 bucks.
On the walmart site, search for emergency supplies.
By the way you will find even more on Costco and Sams website if you are a member and I believe shipping is included.
As I said previously, this is not a good buy for home storage food, but it is a good bugout pack that can be thrown in the car or truck if you have to make a quick exit.

You beat me to it Bill. i was giong to mention a similiar item at Sams. same company but with a couple of different things in it for about 30 bucks more. and the sams one is only like 1800 cal a day while this one is closer to 2100 cal a day. i think i like the wallyworld one better.

Maybe not. Hurricane season starting up, and some of those storms head inland quite a way.
Then again...maybe more people are waking up, or just paying attention to gov.'s "be prepared" warnings.
daughter says any UPC code item sold at Walmart can now be bought on line www.walmart.com and shipped to the house for only ninty seven cents. It cost MORE than that to drive round trip........
