How much should an MRE cost?
On average, an MRE is going to cost anywhere from $3 to as much as $15 per pack or about $80 to $120 for a bulk case of 13 to 24. MREs can either be sold individually or sold by the case. For instance, the best selling MREs on Amazon.com sell for $10 to $15 per pack, depending on the flavor.
Can you legally buy MRE?
Although you may have seen “genuine military MREs” for sale, it is illegal to buy or sell military MREs. Back in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, military personnel were reported to have sold them with the intent of making a profit.
