Amazon has them too
You really can get anything at Costco.
In the warehouse store’s infinitely stocked aisles, probably somewhere between the fleece jammies and the diamond rings, you can find the latest viral must-have: Apocalypse Food Buckets. They’re actually called “Readywise 150 Serving Emergency Food Buckets,” but they got their tongue-in-cheek viral name because they contain 150 just-add-water emergency rations that have an incredible shelf life of up to 25 years.
Considering how the world gets scarier and unexpected things happen every day, it’s honestly kind of tempting to grab one of these to stash in the garage or basement. You know, in case of zombies. Or, perhaps more likely, a bad storm or something.
In this article: Readywise 150 Serving Emergency Food Bucket, READYWISE – Variety Pack Bucket, 104 Servings and Augason Farms Deluxe 30-Day Emergency Food Supply, 200 Servings
The Costco food buckets went viral, but you can find them on Amazon too. And if you need more (or less) than 150 servings, there are plenty of other options out there for emergency food supplies to keep on hand. Check out the list below to see what you can eat when the zombies arrive.
