    150 FRN's from their website.

    This looks like a good deal to me.

    I still have or gave away all the Oatmeal, Instant Potatoes, Macaroni & Cheese, Cheddar Broccoli Rice.
    Thanks a lot, Ximmy. I just placed an order. I think it's great you tried this out and shared with us your feedback, sharing this info is what makes this site great.

    I was looking at the freeze dried fruits.

    They list the probable countries of origin. Lots of Chinese listed there.

    Why wouldn't ximmy's find not list country of origin?

    The freeze dried meat combo also doesn't list the country of origin.

    Thanks for the link ximmy. I think I may try a few.

    is the claim of "No MSG" really true, or is it lurking in the ingredients under other names (i.e. autolyzed yeast, etc.)
    Yes, it's lurking in some of them along with partially hydrogenated oils and other junk. The worst dish is the innocuous-sounding "Chicken and Vegetables," which has a whopping 2.5 grams of trans-fats per one cup serving.

    The strange thing is the label claims that there's a total of 22 grams of carbohydrates, yet 36 grams of sugar. Maybe they left a decimal point out and it should be 3.6.

    Also, do note that neither this dish nor the "Vegetable Beef" contain any beef or chicken meat.

    The oats and mixed vegetables have no questionable ingredients, though. It's a mixed bunch, but it wouldn't kill you to eat these in emergency situations as long as you had other foods and drank plenty of water.

    Waiting a few minutes & that PDF finally loaded. I think the 36 g. of sugar is probably correct, as it has 'corn syrup solids' as an ingredient; which I believe would act as a sweetener.

    Will be passing on this offer. But thanks for the heads-up!

    What is the extra charge for not being a "member"? Has anyone without a membership ordered these buckets? TIA

    ...

    edit found the surcharge price for non members



    http://shop.costco.com/Customer-Serv...aspx#Surcharge
    Why was I charged a Non-Member Surcharge at checkout?

    Costco members need to enter their membership number during the registration process in the My Account section. Non-members will be charged a 5% surcharge over the member's posted product prices (except for prescription drugs). If you are not a member, we encourage you to join. Membership information.

    If you are a member, please click on My Account to enter your membership number and update your account information prior to completing your purchase. The 5% surcharge will be removed if your account is updated prior to order completion.

    If you are not yet a member, you will have the opportunity to add a membership to your shopping cart at the checkout page. The 5% surcharge will be removed if a membership is added prior to order completion.

    youtube has some reviews of the ark bucket. I ordered 3 last week, should be here by end of this week.
