Costco Is Selling Buckets of Food That Can Last 25 Years

Costco is known for selling products in bulk, allowing customers to stock up on what they need for a long time after their shopping trip. One of their food products can even stay fresh for more than two decades after you walk out of the store. 

If the apocalypse ever strikes, make sure you have at least one of Costco's Readywise Emergency Food Supply buckets on hand. The massive container of food is packed with 150 freeze-dried food servings and has a shelf life of 25 years. The bucket contains a variety of meals like pasta alfredo, potato pot pie, teriyaki rice, and apple cinnamon cereal for a total of 80 entrees and sides, 30 breakfast servings, and 40 drink servings that just need water to prepare. 

"In a world where unpredictability has become a constant, our assortment takes on a vital role in emergency preparedness," Costco says about the product on its website. "Imagine the sudden onset of severe weather, the challenges of unexpected job transitions, or the unsettling thought of food shortages. These are the moments when having a reliable source of sustenance becomes a game-changer." 

"Being prepared means more than just having enough to eat. It's about having the peace of mind that comes from knowing you've taken proactive steps to secure your well-being," it continued. "Our selection of freeze-dried and dehydrated foods isn't just about immediate convenience; it's about resilience that extends into the future."

The buckets are selling for $79.99 online, but you might be able to find them for even cheaper in Costco stores. If you need some more food on hand for the whole family, there's some options to buy even more meals. The Chef's Banquet comes with 380 servings for $189.99. And if you have an army to feed, you can buy a whole pallet of 36 Readywise buckets with a total of 5,400 servings for just $2,500. 

The apocalypse won't wait for anyone, so stock up now on your buckets. It's not like the food will go bad anytime soon.
