Ever have that creeping feeling like the apocalypse is right around the corner and you’re not prepared? Guess what? Costco might just be your new best friend.
What exactly are we bracing for here? Zombies, an asteroid hit, nuclear disaster, climatic chaos?
If your mind jumps to global conflicts or fears of nuclear buttons being pushed, then it’s probably a good time to consider some serious stocking up.
For all your apocalyptic prep needs, head over to Costco, where you can find items priced from $44.99 to a whopping $6,999.99.
Depending on what you think will taste best while missiles rain down outside your bunker, there’s quite the range to choose from.
Internet sensation and cooking guru Jeffrey Eisner (@pressureluckcooking) recently highlighted a kit from Readywise, famous for its emergency meals.
This kit boasts 132 servings which include delights such as teriyaki rice, pasta alfredo, cheesy macaroni, apple cinnamon cereal, tomato soup with pasta, creamy pasta with vegetables, vanilla pudding, orange drink mix, and chicken-flavored noodle soup, all for $63.
And that’s just the beginning of the options.
For only $44.99, you can grab a three-pack with 10 cans of ‘simple kitchen pancake mix’ that totals 60 servings and will stay fresh for 25 years.
That takes care of your breakfast for nearly two months, but what about dinner?
Spend the same amount and you’ll get two boxes of gluten-free teriyaki rice, equaling 20 servings, alongside an equal serving count of loaded baked potato casserole, each with a 25-year shelf life.
Wondering what $6,999.99 might secure you? The ultimate apocalypse supply kit, featuring a whole year’s worth of meals totaling 2,814 servings.
This lavish package includes a variety of freeze-dried meals: granola with milk and blueberries, rice and chicken, spaghetti with meat sauce, breakfast skillet, Mexican adobo rice and chicken, beef stroganoff with noodles, and chili mac with beef.
This top-tier package has been reviewed seven times on Costco’s website, earning five stars from one user four months ago who praised it for providing ‘great piece [sic] of mind for the shelf.’
With a shelf life of 30 years, purchasers of this pack are probably hedging their bets on a doomsday scenario within that timeframe.
If you reckon the apocalypse might arrive sooner, consider the 32-pack of self-heating meals which includes brownies, cookies, turkey, chicken, and pasta.
The catch? At $219.99, they only last three years, so if you don’t foresee an immediate disaster, they might not be the best investment.
There you have it: a variety of solutions at different price points to prepare your bunker for whatever the future holds.
