      That's Costco's way of saying when the special price ends.

      It will be more helpful to the poster and other confused people, if instead of negative voting, the genuine question is answered.

        which stores print the expiry of the products on the tickets?

        • None at all. Woolies, Coles, IGA and most others print the expiry date of offers on their shelf tickets though, so not sure why a few seem to have difficulty with it. In OP's defence, I suppose it looks like a fairly normal ticket rather than the usual, shouty "LOOK AT THE SAVINGS!" ticket, so maybe that's what threw them.

            @banana365: Actually Costco does for some goods when on sale, hence my question although looking closer now can see the special price expiry. When Costco run out their food, cereal and cold items such as cheese, they put the expiry date on the ticket, hence my poor leap of logic on this…

    • I read that as the special price expiry, not the food

        That will be the expiry of the offer at costco

        I'm sure Costco also won't mind letting you use the tables and chairs as long as you buy a few hot dogs

    Also, rice, pasta, oats, if stored properly will last quite a while.

    • You do need however to be very cautious of pantry beetles such as store beetles, warehouse beetles and flour beetles. While uncommon, they can still be found in processed foods and can hatch out in dry goods that have been stored for some time.

      These were made to be dropped from helicopters during natural disasters like flood or bushfires, these are excess from the stockpile. Source: work in food relief :)

      Also makes sense for floods, bushfires, that time of the year is coming up. Easy enough to keep near a go-bag or in the boot if you're in an area where that's a concern.

    So 10 serves/day! Finally, someone else appreciates. there's a meal opportunity between breakfast and brunch

    • +2

      It's actually a bit misleading

      21 meals - 4.2 meals a day
      15 snacks - 3 snacks a day
      14 drinks - 2.8 drinks a day

      But either way … 7.2 meals/snacks a day is still considerable!

      Let’s get this out onto a tray. Nice.

  • Bit light on information on their web site https://liveready.com.au/ but it looks pretty much like the noodle packets you can get from your local Asian supermarket. Looks rather better than some "prepper" alternatives I've seen (not that I look much) though the price is fairly similar.

    Well I might actually have a reason to get a costco membership now. Damn!

      Mpox now. The onkey was too scary for the masses.WHO tried unsuccessfully to get Bird flu up but it didn’t take off. Now they’re trying Mpox again. They’ll do anything for a global pandemic again.

        Must be, checks calendar, towards the end of the US election cycle.

      • Didn't everyone get angry at them for not declaring one sub enough last time?

  • This will come in handy for the upcoming world war

  • Every time I see this at Costco it makes me laugh. I live inner city Fitzroy, if the nukes start falling I want it over quickly.

      It’s for the very specific kind of American prepper disaster where the government falls, you need to defend your subservient wife with your ar-15 against the “boogaloos” who are just waiting to steal your Hisense 65” TV.

      In all real world circumstances, you’d be better off to spend $65 on a few extra non-perishable things you use anyway, like tinned tomatoes, pasta, rice, tinned beans, curry paste, pasta sauce, cordial etc. and keep slightly more food in your pantry, refilling as you use it so you don’t end up with a bucket of expired nasty packages in a few years when there is a blackout!

      • I think you might’ve nailed it. Although if they want the TV they should just wait for hard rubbish day.

        Every now and again you see a show where they find survival shelters from the 50s. I, certainly, wouldn’t touch those supplies. However, does SPAM ever go off?

        • Probably not a lot of helicopter flying aid agencies buying from Costco!

    I'm sure it will go great with the 2kg of Maggi powdered gravy

      You could wander round the shelves of Costco and knock up a decent mix of long life food products for a similar price per day to this. Easier to do it to your personal tastes too.

    • +1

      And 567gm of Hormel Bacon Bits

      • or can of Spam

  • Who buys this? Just buy some instant noodle packs instead.

    • Not ideal if power and water supplies are cut off due to natural disaster.

      • If you don’t have water then you are really stuffed. You can go without food for a relatively long time but you die quickly without water. To heat up the noodles you can, probably, create an outdoor fire. Frankly with my library I could go full book burning Nazi for quite sometime. I would, probably, leave my Folio books to the very last.

        The real problem is the noodle packs lack actual nutrients.

      • Look at their web site. The only stated requirements are water and a way of heating it up.

  • Wouldn't honey work just as well? High calorie, lasts forever and tastes nice. Also helps cure infections.

      Ahh yes, nothing like coming down with a good old case of the beetus during an apocalypse.

      Find a friend who's a member and is happy to go with you. It's photo ID so you can't just borrow their card.
