spartan7510 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 10 cases of 12 US Army issue MRE ration packs. The MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) contains the vital food stuff a soldier needs when in the field. These MREs are approved by the United States Army and used in war time for years. High Calorie count and there are 24 different MRE menus. £80 + postage per sealed box. One assorted box with 12 mixed sealed ration packs - £80. All 10 boxes and assorted box for £800 – Total of 142 ration packs (£5.63 per meal). These are currently selling for £102 per case on eBay. 6x case A menus 1 -12 4x case B menus 13 – 24 Each of the 12 ration consists of: Main meal, Dessert, Biscuit/Cracker, Drinks powder, Peanut butter, Muffin/Cake, Coffee, Creamer, Sugar, Chewing gum, Tabasco sauce, Matches, Long handle spoon, MRE heater pouch. Each ration pack at £80 works out to £6.67 per meal. This is top quality US military ration pack, much better than British army stuff. All the contents are contained within a tough waterproof bag to keep the food safe until you are ready to eat. The ration also comes with a heater which works by pouring in a small amount of water and then activates to heat the main meal. All rations have been kept in a cool dry environment. Orange indicator seals are still fine (as noted in the photographs) and they are good for about 7-8 years from manufacture. MRE cases have also included something called a TTI (time and temperature indicator) on the outside of the box to assist inspectors in determining if MREs are still good. There are two parts to the TTI – an outer dark circle and an inner light circle. As long as the inner circle is still lighter than the outside circle, the MREs are supposed to be good. http://www.mreinfo.com/mres/mre-shelf-life/ The assorted ration packs marked as 1305 and 1306. I have personally eaten 3 of these and they are perfect. The only reason I am selling this is because I am relocating in a couple of month’s time. If it was not for emigration due to international job offer, I would not be selling my food supply. Collection from Binfield/Wokingham – RG40 area, take J3 from M3 or J10 from M4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay666d Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Ah, these take me back! I like it on the back of the main meal under the cooking instructions where it says 'lean against a rock or something' Just in case there's no rocks around! I've already blown my food shopping budget for December... Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
