Very nice product
I just ordered my second bucket. I decided to live off of the first one for a month to ensure that if I had to survive off of it for a while the taste would not make an already stressful ordeal even worse. The mac and cheese and beef flavored stew (no actual meat in any of it) were edible and the rest was quite good. I discovered that you have to adjust the water amount and cooking time on several of the items in the bucket as the instructions underestimate the boiling time on most of the foods and the amount of water needed for the broccoli and rice. As with any product of this nature, always check to make sure that all pouches are properly sealed. The price here fluctuates wildly here, so if you are going to be ordering multiple times to build up your supplies slowly, keep an eye on cost and try to buy when it is around $100. In the past month I have seen it as low as $95 and as high as around $200 then back down again. Even if you are not in an emergency situation and just need to cut back on your spending I can recommend this product. I nearly cut my grocery bill in half by living off of this for the trial month.
