With a following of over 98,000 avid viewers, her latest video showcasing Costco\u2019s emergency food offerings is making waves.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-53078402-300x191.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-53078402-300x191.webp 300w, https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-53078402-768x489.webp 768w, https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-53078402.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stopped by Costco today, and Ready Wise emergency food is available for $63.99, complete with a whopping 132 servings,\u201d Christensen announced at the beginning of her video. She then presented a box filled with emergency supplies, primarily consisting of over 100 servings of pasta.<\/p>\n<p>While Christensen\u2019s content often revolves around preparing for the unknown, she didn\u2019t stop there. She also revealed Mountain House emergency meal kits, priced at $79.99, featuring a diverse selection of items such as eggs, chicken, dumplings, lasagna, and granola. Notably, these selections may appear random at first glance, but there\u2019s a certain intrigue in being prepared for any culinary contingency.<\/p>\n<p>Further into her video, Christensen introduced Mountain House freeze-dried ice cream sandwiches, available in packs of six for $9.97. \u201cIt might seem pricey,\u201d she admitted, \u201cbut if things take a turn for the worse, having a bit of comfort on a challenging day could be priceless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Christensen concluded her video with advice for her followers, suggesting they choose between the two brands based on their budget and preferences.<\/p>\n<p>As expected, the comments section of her TikTok video exploded with speculations and concerns. Many followers were convinced that these emergency meal kits were an indication of impending doom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInteresting.

These products are not novelties suddenly appearing on Costco\u2019s shelves. In fact, Costco\u2019s history of catering to the prepper crowd dates back to 2018 when they introduced their \u201c$6,000 doomsday meal kit.\u201d This comprehensive kit claimed to contain 36,000 servings of food, reportedly sufficient to feed a family of four for a year.<\/p>\n<p>Costco\u2019s marketing pitch back then was, \u201cEnjoy the comfort of having essential foods for your family\u2019s survival during an emergency or natural disaster.\u201d With a shelf life of up to 25 years for the freeze-dried items, the Nutristore 1-Year Premium Food Kit averaged out to just $0.17 per portion.<\/p>\n<p>Some people have noted that Costco has always been ahead of the game when it comes to disaster preparedness. One user pointed out, \u201cCostco has been stocking up on apocalypse supplies for a while, but now they seem to be doing it more openly. Do they know something we don\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In light of recent events and growing uncertainties, it might not be a bad idea to follow suit and stock up on essential supplies, just in case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent revelation that has sent shockwaves across the internet, Costco\u2019s latest emergency meal kits have ignited discussions about preparedness, prompting some to question if an&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5102,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5095"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5095\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5104,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5095\/revisions\/5104"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
