Survival food from Costco: because who wouldn’t want to face the apocalypse with a cart full of savings and a side of rotisserie chicken?
A well-known survivalist TikToker posted a video about Costco’s large emergency food supply bucket, which boasts a 25-year shelf life, and it quickly went viral with 4.3 million views.
The survival-savvy Ready Wise brand emergency food kit, which serves 132 pasta dinners for just $63.99, was displayed by Christensen before moving on to other products, such as the $9.97 six-packs of Mountain House freeze-dried ice cream sandwiches.
To put it another way, is it worth it?
No, and yes. Here’s why:
There are 120 actual food servings in the bucket, and each one has about 200 calories. You would require ten servings a day if your daily caloric intake is 2000 calories (2000 calories per day per person / 200 calories per serving = 10 servings per day per person). Additionally, it states “124 servings,” yet in addition to the preserved food, it also counts portions of orange juice and powdered milk as “servings.”
