COSTCO EMERGENCY DISASTER FOOD KITS

Costco has introduced emergency food kits for major disasters. Other retailers, including Walmart, have started to offer emergency food kits, but for much shorter durations like one day to a week. The Costco kits are designed to last much longer.
– The cheapest option, for $1,000, has a one-year supply of food and is made up of nearly 100 1-gallon cans of wheat, rice, granola, apples, bananas, peaches, strawberries, potatoes, carrots, beans, onions, corn, beef, chicken, milk, sugar and salt. The cans have 6,200 servings of food and will last up to 25 years.
– The more expensive kits – at $4,000 and $6,000 – provide food for larger families for one-year – for groups of four and more.
Says Costco: “This is a great value with shipping included.”
* If I want to eat 25-year-old food, I go to the industry leader: 7-Eleven.
* 25 years’ of food, or if you’re Kevin James, a month and a half.
* What kind of disasters that last for 25 years are we talking about? Meteor strike? Nuclear attack? Your kid coming home to live in the basement?
* North Korea has just ordered 10,000 of them.
* For $6,000, I want Costco to include a 25-year supply of Red Vines.
