Yes mt house cans can be on sale cheap and there are a lot of new flavors. I love the jambalaya. A lot of different freeze dried companies these days also. But there are many instant meals in the store such as stove top stuffing, idahoan, ramen, refried beans (just saw huge packs at trader joes cheap), far east couscous and taboule, instant hummus, etc. You can take foil packets of salmon and tuna to put on top and dried vegis also. Walmart has a whole aisle of freeze dried components that can be combined in boil bags for meals. They have a huge can of freeze dried chili i will have next season. Btw i tried many mre varieties this fall and it was hit or miss on taste/consistency and of course they are heavier. I like freeze dried better. Another tip is small boxes of wine with your meal that can be burnt afterwards. Now someone needs to put scotch in a box..
