Check your local walmart - Mtn House on sale

I was too late as all the good ones were taken.

At least there is toilet paper.

At least there is toilet paper.

Yeah, it's only for camping purposes though.

I always buy up whatever I find cheap as well. Thanks for the heads up I'll see if the two local Wally worlds have any they are clearing out as well. Funny they even have clearance on food items with a decade or more of shelf life lol

I noticed the other day at Cabela's that one of the MH packages had a new packaging.

 

[Finch]

I know what you mean. I checked the "manufactured" date and it was this past summer. Beats me!

 

[Finch]

The other walmart nearby had some left. The last one on the receipt was beef stroganoff with noodles. Wish they had more of those.

 

[Colberjs]

Did you tell Stephen Mason thanks for the hook-up? I'll have to check my local Walmart.

Swung by Wally time on the way home and they had some left. Mostly Eggs with bacon that was marked as $5 but rang up as $3.50. I also scored a couple Backpackers Pantry Pad Thai meals.

Wish you were closer, I'd trade you the beef stroganoff......can't stand that stuff.

Hey Finch, how is your tax only 2.5%?

 

[Finch]

Brad - glad to see you scored a deal. I saved $30 going by Amazon's prices which are usually on par. Can't believe the Chicken breast and mashed potatoes are $11 each on Amazon (forgot what the original price was at Walmart but I doubt it was that much. Probably only saved $20 but I'll take it).. I saw a few backpacker pantry's on sale but didn't even consider them since I've heard bad things about them.

As far as the tax thing - I had to look it up. A quote from Virginia's tax.gov website. You got ripped!

Food purchased for home consumption is taxed at the reduced rate of 2.5 percent (1.5 percent state, 1 percent local).

From Kansas' website

Kansas does not exempt any types of purchase from the state sales tax. In most states, necessities such as groceries, clothes, and drugs are exempted from the sales tax or charged at a lower sales tax rate.

Some items may not be eligible for these reduced sales tax rates, such as expensive clothing, unhealthy food or drinks like soda, and certain non-essential pharmaceuticals. Other items including gasoline, alcohol, and cigarettes are subject to various Kansas excise taxes in addition to the sales tax.

In some states, items like alcohol and prepared food (including restaurant meals and some premade supermarket items) are charged at a higher sales tax rate. The KS sales tax applicable to the sale of cars, boats, and real estate sales may also vary by jurisdiction. Kansas's sales tax rates for commonly exempted items are as follows:

Groceries: 6.15% Clothing: 6.15% Prepared Food: 6.15% Prescription Drugs: 6.15% Non-Prescription Drugs: 6.15%

Really? I've read rave reviews on that one. Personally, I've only had the spaghetti ones which I thought were very good. Guess I'll be finding out which ones I prefer.

5milesback , the beef stroganoff is the best ! The chicken breast with mashed potatoes is gross imo. The spaghetti is good but the heartburn it gave me was wicked ! Breakfast skillet is ok with salsa in a tortilla but it wears out its welcome by day four .

 

[wapitibob]

long gone, great prices too

 

[Finch]

Well hell, it was worth a shot, Bob!

 

[colonel00]

I may have a problem...

 

[Finch]

I may have a problem...

Haha, perhaps!

 

[colonel00]

I just hope the BPP Pad Thai is decent.
