It came up in another thread, and i didn't want to derail so I am posting it here. Dehydrated entrees can get pricy, and most MH, BPP, Alpine Air or Natural High entrees run between $7-$10 for a single (2 serving) pouch. I have found by watching for sales, and being prepared to jump when I find a good deal that I can usually get our entrees for around $5 per pouch, and sometimes less. Particularly when manufacturers are changing their packaging, there are incredible close out deals to be had.
For example, tonight for the heck of it I did a little looking around. REI outlet had a bunch of Natural High and Alpine Air entrees on close out because they are 2014 packaging and the company has switching for the coming year. I ordered 14 entrees for $70.22, which comes out to $5 per meal. Because we had a dividend of $15.44, I actually only ended up paying $54.78 or $3.90 per meal. Because I spent more than $50, shipping was free.
If others are interested they had a lot of other entrees on close out, including all the varieties of Natural High Enchiladas...if we hadn't bought about 20 of those at a similar price last fall I would have been all over them
I consider anything less than $5 per entree a steal of a deal.
Some of you don't like REI, but tonight that's just where I found the best deal. I have frequently found similar deals online at campsaver.com, sierra trading post, and even on Amazon. Our local Fred Meyer store does a buy 2 get 1 free deal a few times a year as well, and that is another way I have stocked up. It pays to shop around, and jump on good deals when you find them...
