Group Buy: MRE wrap-up

[shibumiseeker]

The original post from the previous thread had its editing feature expire so I was advised to start a new thread to wrap it up here.

Just as an FYI, this group buy is closed, I am just using this thread to track who has paid and who has had theirs delivered and who is waitlisted.

If I do another group buy once enough time has passed, I will start a whole new thread, so don't bother putting requests in here.

shibumiseeker,

Any chance that you or someone close is going to be at the 1500? Trying to figure out how to get the goods.

If not I will start working on something else.

Thanks for doing all the upfront, middle and end work!

 

[shibumiseeker]

There is a good chance I will be at the 1500 or at the least be able to send them up to the 1500.

 

[dudley0]

Good deal. I can be there before open on Saturday to help pass out the collection if that helps. This way whoever is making the trip doesn't have to wait around to make deliveries. I can also drop to anyone on Grant County, if there is anyone besides me.

 

[shibumiseeker]

Ok, everyone on this pallet has paid.

I will be at the 1500 FRIDAY ONLY, and can bring cases with me then.

Peashooter will also be picking up his cases this Friday evening (ETA: a week before the 1500, too late now) and has offered to pick up cases for other Indy area folks, get with him if you want to do that, and post in this thread if he's picking yours up.

 

[dudley0]

Aaahahh I can't make it to the 1500 on Friday because of my stupid W2.

Anyone else going to be there Friday and Saturday that wants to babysit a couple case for me?

As shibumi stated, My wife is coming back from Tennessee this Friday and is planning on picking up our cases on her way back. There should be some room for a few more cases if anyone needs to get them north (we live in Anderson and I work in Noblesville and Indy.) I can't guarentee that we can get everyones, as the van is already packed with 4 peoples luggage, but we'll get all we can.

 

[csaws]

Thanks for this Shibumiseeker

 

[dudley0]

Hey Peashooter, if nobody is able to grab my cases on Friday for a meet up at the 1500 on Saturday could you grab them? I can jump on I69 and head to you.

Let me know and no problem if you are already full.

Wrong Friday, his wife picked them up last Friday.

 

[dudley0]

Oops, my bad. Well at least they wont spoil. Sorry for the hassle.

 

[shibumiseeker]

A bunch of folks got their cases at or around the 1500 yesterday. TWB, Tyler34 has your cases.

 

[theweakerbrother]

Thanks for the supply drop!

 

[Clay]

Picked mine up yesterday at the 1500, thanks shibumiseeker!!

I wondered what the new menu was so I popped open a case to have a look.

Old menu:
Pasta with Garden Vegetables in tomato sauce
Spaghetti w/ Meat & Sauce
Homestyle Chicken with noodles and vegables in sauce
southwestern style chicken with black beans and rice
Creamy Chicken Tetrazzini
Hearty Beef Stew

Current menu:
Pasta with Garden Vegetables in tomato sauce
Spaghetti w/ Meat & Sauce
homestyle chicken with noodles and vegetables in sauce
southwestern style chicken with black beans and rice
macaroni with beef in sauce
vegetable stew with beef

So, they took away two items, and added two different ones. Or maybe not. I have a feeling the vegetable stew with beef is probably very similar to the Hearty Beef stew, but Im not really sure on that one. Ill find out one day.

Either way, Im happy with the deal!

Thanks!

This case also has chocolate chip cookies in some of the packages in stead of the oatmeal cookies that were in all of the previous GB cases.
Some have Osmotic raisins, or Cinnamon pop tarts in addition to the cookie (replaces the milk shake I believe), and NONE of them have the milk shake powdered drink mix.

You did a fine job making these Shibumi, I will keep you in mind when I need a caterer for an event.

Btw, I would recommend keeping a log (pardon the pun) when going through these meals. It has been my experience that some need a supplemental laxative and some need to be eaten with Imodium. I have failed to keep track of which is which so far and the act of selecting a meal is still a less than lethal game of Russian Roulette. Lighter purple because kind of joking kind of not.

 

[PeaShooter]

Thanks again for doing this Shibumi, it sounds like i just missed seeing you at the INGO table Friday night.

For everyone else who missed out on the group buy, there was a guy on the far left side of the 1500 (where the water filters and prepper food is) that was selling cases of the Ameriqual MRE's for $60/case. If you happen to need them sooner than Shibumi's next group buy...

 

[chraland51]

Picked my 5 cases up at the 1500 Friday evening. Shibumiseeker made the group buy as convenient as possible in my opinion. I would definitely get on one of his lists again.

 

[Dirtebiker]

Thanks to Shibumiseeker for all his time and effort! I, for one, am very appreciative for his offer, and for his willingness to meet up at mutual convenience! Thanks again, and I will most likely be on the next list if you choose to do it again.

 

[salemons]

Just want to say thanks to Shibumiseeker for a well run group buy. All your work and effort is appreciated.
