I got a note from Freeze Dry Guy, with good news: They are extending their November 10% off sale on selected Mountain House freeze dried foods, to the end of December.See their web site under “Freeze Dried Foods By The Case.” The web page lists the standard prices, so you will have to CALL to get the special prices: (530) 265-8333. Please mention that you are SurvivalBlog reader. For example, Cooked Diced Beef, normally $273.18, is on sale for $245.86. There are similar discounts on Cooked Diced Chicken and Cooked Ground Beef (the latter is a new item not on price list, with 162 servings of 1/2 cup each per case ) They still pay shipping within the Continental U.S., even with these prices!
