I already have a stash of water, dried and canned foods but now want to get one of those 2 week variety buckets that last 25 years. Just to have some extra food and variety with little extra effort.
Any vendor recommendations to get the most bang for the Buck?

Make sure it's dehydrated water
and organic LOL
but joking aside i used 4patriots.com
I only buy evaporated water. But I add the juice from canned unicorn meat and it rehydrates nicely
Buy in bulk, mylar bags, oxygen absorbers, 5 gallon buckets. dry your own fruits and vegetables, it's a lot cheaper this way. If you can find an Amish Store, they have great bulk deals
I have multiple brands.
Individual serving or 2 serving bags Peak Refuel. The best tasting. Only 5 year shelf life. Double the protein of other brands
Mountain house. Good taste. with 25 year shelf life
30 day buckets I have augason farms 4 buckets. Friend said mypatriotsupply is good. I haven’t tried it yet.
The bulk 30 day buckets don’t include the meat in the meals. Still supply the calories, ibut the smaller servings bags do
You can buy bulk cans of chicken or beef to add to the bucket meals
I would avoid ready wise, in my opinion they are the worst. Also the cheapest
I have a few buckets but I like the bags better, although the bags are more expensive.
Mypatriotsupply.com It is its own brand. Bulk, cans and smaller serving size bags. Plus other survival stuff
Midwayusa.com Has all the brands, if something you like is sold out they usually have them back in stock in a couple of weeks. peak refuel is on sale, usually $13 now $9. Order today if you want that deal. They sell out fast and the sale is only a couple days. All kinds of outdoor and survival stuff also
Just my opinion, but most of that stuff is a waste of money.
I think most people would be better off buying a vaccum sealer, and putting away as many dried beans and dried rice as possible. Those two thing will keep you alive, and they will last for many years.
Put them into serving size bags. Those items might be good for barter in years to come if things really go upside down.
Many claim Mormans food store the best.

Thanks for all the great advice. I ended up ordering cans of rice, beans, oatmeal, and macaroni from the Mormons linked by Responsible1.
25-30 year life, 50000 calories for $50 (for the beans or rice)
I put an augasun lunch and dinner bucket on my birthday list. 21000 calories for $99, but at least it will be more exciting than beans every day.
Mountain House is probably the best of the best. Wise is pretty good too, a little salty. Remember, store what you eat and eat what you store. Add in lots of cans - rotate them. Date everything. Costco and Walmart both sell these brands.
got mine year ago thru x-22 think it was 20% off was 500b prolly mor now
Augasson farms available at Costco
I've purchased Auguson Farms one can at a time on Amazon. It makes it easier to buy emergency food if you break it down in $30 increments. For those of us that don't have a lump sum of money
True. And I use them. I hate it when I need celery and waste half of it because I only needed 3 stalks. I've been using Augason's celery instead. No waste and convenient.
Nice. I never thought to use it that way. Thanks for the suggestion
