Be VERY careful in reading the ad, before you order any MREs from the 
above company. The wording is tricky and you likely won't be getting a 
full "unopened" MRE, at the above price. They sell it as "entree" only 
and also complete meals that have been sorted through.(you will only get 
the culls)
They are advertising a sealed case for $59.97, and half case for $34.97. 
That's in the latest catalog I have.
As Dan mentioned, the shipping adds alot, PLUS this company will tag you 
for quite alot for the handling.

Just a word from someone that has bought from them, once.

James, hiding my oatmeal bars from Dan.. :>)
