Costco Selling $1000 Emergency Survival Food Kits That Last 25 Years

Prepping for a disaster just got easier.

With major hurricans wreaking havoc across the U.S. and talks of nuclear war with North Korea, preparing for the worst doesn't look like such a bad idea.

Beloved bulk retailer Costco is now offering members a one-year "emergency food kit" for just $999.99, which seems like a pretty reasonable alternative to buying 6 pounds of peanut butter and hoping for the best.

The kit includes 6,200 servings of food, provides 1,200 calories per day for one adult for a year and has a 25-year shelf life.

So what do you get to eat? All the basics: wheat, rice, granola, apples, bananas, peaches, strawberries, potatoes, corn, lentils, beans, oninos, carrots, chicken, beef, milk, salt, and sugar (because taste counts).

That may sound like a lot to carry out to the parking lot, but don't worry: shipping is included!

Costco is also offering family-sized emergency food kits for $3,999 and $5,999. While it's not clear yet how many people are purchasing these kits, it's pretty clear that demand it hot.

You can check out more of Costco's emergency food and supply offerings on their website.
