a place to buy MRE's

[Kart29]

Is there a place to buy quality MRE's around central Indiana?

I think I'd prefer military grade but wouldn't rule out commercial varieties either. I don't need a pallet load full. I just want to play around with a few of them and keep a box handy for camping trips, convenience, or emergencies.

Any tips or leads would be much appreciated.

A couple of places in Indy on the eastside that I know of are:


Indianapolis Military Surplus
8252 E. Washington (317) 672-3190
Indianapolis

They had Mil and commercial the last time I was in there



Indianapolis Army Navy
6032 E. 21st. (310) 356-0858
Indianapolis

Was in there about a week ago and didn't have much of a selection

I have a bunch that will expire next spring. Way more than I need. But we all know that they last 1/2 of forever. Contact me and I will make you an offer that you can't refuse.

MRE and expire shouldn't be in the same sentence.

Couple years back I finished the last of the ones I had from the 80's. The tobasco sauce was not red any more, but the rest of the pack was fine.

Thanks for the tips. I stopped by Indianapolis Military Surplus yesterday. They had some individual MRE packages for sale but I couldn't see any dates on them and the price made me think I would be better off buying a case or half-case with a known packaging date from a reputable source. It's nice to know they have some on hand if I want a few in a hurry, though.


And thanks to others who have taken the time to respond. I appreciate the leads.

pm sent, Steve. For no more than I want to buy, I would probably use them before next spring anyways.

Where the hell did the red go?! LOL

No clue... I didn't open it up to test it out. I might still have it around here somewhere... wanted to keep it just to show people, but might have tossed it anyhow.

Point is, you can keep damned near anything well after the expiration date.

shoot, I have ww2 C and K rations still, I open them up and have one from time to time. Haven't made me sick yet. Just test the cans by filling a sink of water, if it sinks, its still good and sealed. if it bobs or floats, throw it out. Only had a handful that float and usually its the ham meal that does.

That is amazing... I would not worry about grabbing one of those. What was the color of the food like?
