Costco Now Offering Emergency Food, Kits & Supplies

Ran across this today and thought I’d pass it along. As far as I can gather this is all new for Costco. I’ve had a membership since it was Price Club way back in the day (30+ years) so I know this is something new. Costco has had Mountain House boxes before that I’ve purchased but nothing like this. Costco has gone WAY MAJOR! Anyway, check the article link for news (brief snippet below) then check the Costco link.

Lots of y'all folks know pricing and what-not on long term food so is this a good deal or not? I'm not an expert on all that.

Costco is helping out both doomsday preppers, and those just interested in stocking up in case of a disaster.
 
The cheapest option has a one-year supply of food and is made up of nearly 100 1-gallon cans of wheat, rice, granola, apples, bananas, peaches, strawberries, potatoes, carrots, beans, onions, corn, beef, chicken, milk, sugar and salt. The cans have 6,200 servings of food and will last up to 25 years.
 
The more expensive kits provide food for larger families for one-year – for groups of four and more.
