Ameriqual 24ct US Military Surplus MRE Meals Ready to Eat 2021 Inspect A+B Case Bundle Menus 1-24

Exactly what I wanted. I'm not a particularly picky eater, and I admit that I actually like MREs. Never met an MRE I *didn't* like. I travel, cross country, and keep a five day supply of emergency rations on board my truck. When I considered MREs in the past for that task, all I found were the dehydrated, low nutrition, and ridiculously over-priced meals sold at camping gear outlets. So, I used prepackaged and canned foods from grocery stores, but the options were minimal. What triggered me to renew my search was my after work interests. I enjoy astronomy and camping, and the two go together out of necessity of being out in the field and away from city lights. However, any light source can destroy the night-vision necessary when using telescopes, and ruin hours of work by those doing astrophotography. A flashlight will get you run off. No car lights, no campfires, etc., are allowed. So, warm meals are *verboten* from dusk until dawn. But now I find authentic MREs, complete with WORKING flameless ration heaters? I do not need combat rations, and I understand these are geared for civilian use, and not the high calorie of the MREs I have had from military issue. I ordered the two-case set of twenty-four meals, and one case arrived yesterday. I'm waiting to hear back about the still missing B case, and fairly certain it was a delivery error, not shipper error. I pulled out Menu 3 "Chicken, Noodles and Vegetables, in Sauce." I chose it because chicken is my least favorite form of common meat, and it took discipline to pass on a couple of favorites. Everything I expected. Even though I am at home, I tried everything. Heater worked great. I got Skittles, which I always give away. Tropical Fruit Punch (better than orange). Peanut Butter and Apple Jelly-- another win. Bland crackers (but went better-- well, in fact-- with chicken and veggies, than with the PB&J). A packet of "powdered hot sauce" (essentially, crushed red pepper, which I like). Applesauce with Raspberry Puree (a large portion-- brown, but delicious). Chicken Noodles and Veggies in sauce. Not bad at all, and nicely punched up with the supplied crush pepper "powdered sauce" (Ha!). It was all filling and tasty. I left no crumbs. I have a sugar packet, non-dairy creamer, a bit of salt, a packet of Splenda, two Chiclets, and the Skittles to trade for a mini bottle of Tabasco Sauce if there are sny takers. I'll toss the towlette and toilet paper in my backpack pocket. Lastly, I said I am not a picky eater, but I am outright insufferable about my coffee. I understand that my Federal Government is not going to buy dark roasted arabica beans, grown in in either Ethiopian or Sumatran soil, and present each kit with a French Press. So, hot water, dyed black, and dosed with caffeine is what I expected, and what I got. Could be worse. Could be tea. At less than $4.00 a meal (I paid $95 for my two cases although only receiving one case as I type), that is less than a small breakfast sandwich with a coffee at a truck stop-- and a lot better, if you ignore the coffee. Honestly, I woukd opt for this easy meal over fast food. I own a thermos, so will brew my civilized coffee before dark. That only leaves me jonesing for my daily fix of Dr. Pepper. Going to need a cooler for that. This is like my new favorite thing. What the heck am I packing that tiny camp-stove and fuel for? Oh, boiling water for my French Press, of course.

I just received my bundle of US MRE Case A and Case B from Amazon, and wow, what an excellent purchase! Each case contains 12 full meals, with Case A covering Menus 1-12 and Case B handling 13-24, offering a fantastic assortment of entrees like Chili with Beans, Shredded Beef in BBQ Sauce, Chicken with Egg Noodles and Vegetables, and so many more. The packaging is rugged and waterproof, perfect for long-term storage or outdoor adventures, and everything arrived in pristine condition with inspection dates well into 2025 or later.The food quality is absolutely perfect – everything I've tried so far is delicious and surprisingly flavorful for military rations. The heaters work flawlessly to warm up the meals in minutes, and the portions are generous with about 1,250 calories each, including sides, snacks, and even accessories like chewing gum, matches, and toilet tissue. Whether for emergency prep, camping, or just curiosity, these MREs deliver on taste and nutrition without any of that "bland survival food" vibe. I highly recommend grabbing both cases for the full variety – they're reliable, tasty, and worth every penny!

Items received were dated 12/2025 in perfect condition. The FRH's heat quickly and last long enough to heat the entree bag and a side dish bag if so equipped. These are a great alternative to the commercial freeze-dried cans and pouches out there with mystery preservatives that wreak havoc with my food allergies. The Ameriqual MRE is very safe for me. The foil lined pouches do not alter the flavor of the food and certain menus have extra snacks like first strike bars or skittles. If I am stuck in the house, not wanting to venture into the cold or I am just too lazy to cook, I'll get these out on a tray. These are great to throw in a back-pack without any concern of damaging pouches or food contents. The baked goods are a little dry. The marble pound cake is my favorite and pairs well with the peanut butter spread.

Im very happy with what I received. I was expecting an older production line and received mostly 2023 MREs and a few older ones. This was good for me because the newer ones save tons of space. I didn't receive a single years production run, but that's completely fine with me as they were all different menus with the exception of one double and one "missing" (I received all 24 MREs, but I had two 19s and no 21). A simple mistake that caused me no issues whatsoever. I'm sure if I reached out, they would have immediately corrected the mistake, but to me it wasn't a big deal. Everything arrived very fast and packaged well. I'll be buying again in a few weeks!

As advertised dates. Temperature stickers are OK, everything in the few meals opened was ok, all heaters have worked, will buy again.

Always pleased, never been opened or searched, always within the dates stated in the ad, and never have I received ones that have set off the temperature storage monitor.

I love MRE’s SEMPER FI!! I will say, I didn’t get one cheese packet in my 24 MRE’s lol

Great quality! Worth the price! Food tastes great
