No, no you can most definitely not buy freeze dried food and save money. Freeze-dried food is expensive, with freeze-dried meat often ridiculously so. Amazon charges $40+ for 1.76 lbs of hamburger. Buying it in bulk from sites (e.g. Safecastle) is not cheaper, since the markup is higher; Amazon is cheaper. Buying generic brands of normal non-freeze-dried food in bulk at a Costco or something is much cheaper and will taste better.
Learning to actually cook meals, especially other cuisines that aren't as meat-dependent as a lot of European/American styles, is a great skill to have if you legitimately want to save money on food but don't like subsisting on rice and beans every day.
I was looking for actual ground beef for adding to spaghetti or chili. Got some good suggestions like this
You can do dehydrated butter, dried scrambled eggs, and freeze dried beef if you want to try a slightly trail friendlier approach.
Ah, sorry, misread that.
Mountain House offers freeze dried meat in #10 cans. Can't comment on a Canadian source for that that isn't overpriced.
LeBaron offers the other tins (including veggies - peas, beans, or corn) as well as the meals but I didn't see meat only.
Mountain House Cooked Ground Beef https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000M7V1EA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_eVZPDb9CWSXKW. What i am getting at is that this is way cheaper to do it your own. The can in the link makes about 5lbs of ground beef. And for one of those 1 month supply packs you posted you could have over 1000$ worth off food for 250 if you convert it to mountain house. If someone has a family of 4 and wants a 3-6 month supply of food you would be spending 3k to 6k for mountain house for that time.
