    I was trying to find this exact package on the Thrive site and it looks like it's a Costco special. The closest package there is 1500 calories per day so I would assume this is close.

    While you could survive on that you couldn't thrive. If you're active that could come up short quick. But if you're eating freeze dried food your are likely held up somewhere and not very active anyway.

    The thing about this package is it's also a lot of raw ingredients you must prepare into meals. With MREs or MH type food it's already made for you. But after you've eaten Beefaroni or chicken and rice for a month straight your going to start suffering from appetite fatigue.

    You can lure in the Zombies with it.

    Mrs Danske signed up as a distributor to get a discount on the storage rack. I was a little apprehensive when we got the first food order, but most of it is quite good. The food rehydrates quickly and she has made some nice dishes. I like the fact that on the price list they list the shelf life (sealed and open) for each product sold.

    At the last gun show I saw several booths set up by the ladies selling Thrive. I didn't stop and watch the spiel but it certainly was new. It's the new tupperware/avon thing!

    But at least this is something useful.

    You can use the discount code 'Take5' for 5 bucks off.

    That's roughly $66 a month if you break it down over a year. Is that a good deal on a year's worth of food?!?

    Take a look at your next receipt when you go shopping, for food that has a short shelf life.

    I like the Thrive products and just signed up to start receiving a monthly order (they call it the Q as in queue). It's a great way to keep food flowing in and keeping with a budget. Using this process, they give you the best pricing that they offer (better than retail, their normal web pricing and even Costco). You can add to, change or suppend your monthy shipments as needed. You buy only the things you like and will eat so you don't have waste from paying for things you have no use for. You can also get better than website pricing if you work directly with one of their "Independent Consultants". They can give you Q level pricing on bulk orders, Shelf Reliance storage racks, etc.

    Freeze dried, dehydrated, canned and MREs all have their place in prepardness. I have some of all types for different reasons/purposes and I rotate all of it. I have decent garden and buy fresh too.
