[...] MRE Case Pricing [...]
question are these meals like the mre s that was given during huricain ?/
Hi Dorcas,
Both military and commercial MRE were given out during Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, mostly military. Military and commercial are very similar with some minor differences for each manufacturer of MRE, Sopacko, MREStar, etc. Sometimes military MRE has more calories, higher salt content, and a nicer spoon.
Hi, I’m trying to get a case of 12 MREs, but I can’t find any websites that will do this. If you know of any would you be so kind to mail me with the website address.
Thanks, Tom
Hi Tom,
I am not sure I understand, but sounds like you are looking for a case of 12 MRE meals.
Most sites sell cases of 12 MREs. The chart shows in this post shows you the cost of a case of 12 MRE meals during my last check in Sept 2008.
MRE is available in cases at these distributors;
