So the thing with MREs is that they actually do not have a massively long shelf life - only a few years, as they were designed more to allows for half-decent remote meals away from a camp, hence the flameless ration heater that comes in every one.
So if you are wanting to store long-life meals, Like has already been posted, I would suggest the back country cuisine meals as they are dehydrated, and will store for longer.
That being said, people are always on Youtube reviewing MREs from long past their recommended consumption date, and they are fine. So you could always just go for the MRE, at around $25 a meal though, they are quite expensive locally. You could simply buy them on Amazon for a lot less.
Personally, in my survival kit, we only have a few dehydrated meals, and the rest is canned goods. Cans will last, and then you recycle them through.
