A post-nuclear world was one of the first times you saw people en mass begin planning for "what if?" situations. You could be like this person who put $4.2 million into building a fully functional underground bunker capable of withstanding nearly anything thrown at it.

With how crazy things are in the world right now, owning a bunker may not be a bad idea. Sadly, not all of us have a spare $4.2 million sitting around. However, one retailer in Michigan is offering something as close to doomsday security as someone on a budget can get.

For a crisp $80, you could buy a 150-serving package of emergency food good for 25 years. Talk about bang for your buck.

 

Costco's Emergency Food Supply

Costco, the world's third-largest retailer with nearly 600 locations around the US, is offering members a safety net in the form of the Readywise Emergency Food Supply Food Bucket.

According to its product description, the bucket contains 80 servings of entrees, 30 breakfasts, and 40 drink servings to prepare for any situation. Most of the food is freeze-dried and dehydrated, which is how it can last for an extended period. All the meals are easy to make: just add water.
