LTS in UK

[Blue407]

Can anyone point me in the direction of Long Term Storage food available in the UK?
Most google results are US based

Thanks!

Ouch, £144 for a month of Mountain House!
I wasn't expecting the costs to be so high..... is that comparable to the prices they pay in the US?
For that sort of cost I would consider Army-surplus rat packs....

Are there any UK sourced alternatives, rather than imported options?

just a quick calculation, but it would be around $130 for 4 #10 cans. Dependant on the cans you choose.

That does seem to make it significantly more expensive in the UK then (Just under £81!!!)
I appreciate there will be import and shipping costs from the US and everybody has to make a profit, but it does seem to make it prohibitively expensive (in my opinion)

A UK made solution would be perfect.....

Hi Blue

The cost of these type of things in the UK has always put me off which is why I am in the process of going down the Rice/Grain route mixed with ordinary "basics" tins etc. A 25kg bag of Rice can be bought for under £16 and can provide over 100 days worth of meals for one person. You would need to mix it with other stuff to make it palatable but as a staple food, value for money and ease of storage it is hard to beat....helps if you like Rice though

Same here, can't afford that stuff, you can find alternatives cheaply here. Also a dehydrator (which I haven't got yet but want) and a garden !

conserva.de are the cheapest I reckon. Mylaring white rice, lentils could give you 8+ years shelf life. TVP much longer! I decided to go for a selection of dehydrated, tinned, mylar, MREs and food growing in the ground.

Couscous is also very good - and versatile - and cheap!

I agree with eveyone else - its too expensive for what you get - works out bout £4 a meal when you can get 4 x that on dried food, and you can source your own organic stuff and know exactly what your eating - once I learnt about mylar bags and oxugen absorbers, its gonna last like ten years plus as long as its dry stuff...
