Reddit reviews Minute Instant Enriched Long Grain White Rice, 72oz

Mountain House diced chicken costs a little less than $3 per serving.
Harmony House vegetables cost $2.50 per pouch.
Minute Rice costs $0.30 per serving. So at the end of the day, mixing all of these into one bag will save you about 40% compared to the prepackaged Mountain House meals with a very minimal amount of effort.

I finally threw mine away last year. I wore out and I realized I wasn't really using it much. I ate beans and rice almost every night, and sometimes during the day.

The food never had a chance to cool down once I was out of the desert.
