snark Forum Administrator  User ID: 817630 United States04/21/2010 12:24 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This seems like a pretty decent deal compared to what I've seen out there for brands like Mountain House...wonder how it tastes? T For Texas, T For Tennessee! The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 852338 United States04/21/2010 02:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Need a breakdown of how many Calories per day ... and a further breakdown of what those Calories are (protein, fat, sugar, carbs etc.) SOME prepackaged foods "claim" to be a lot of meals and be good for x amount of time ... but that is ONLY if you will just be consuming 800 calories per day or so. The average adult male is going to need somewhere between 2000 to 2400 calories per day to maintain even keel and the average woman will need that less 300 to 400 calories (say 1600 to 2100 calories per day for the female). Below that and you are on a weight loss diet ... maybe even a SEVERE weight loss diet. Taste and ease of preparation is important ... but the calorie count and breakdown of what those calories are composed of is even MORE important. |
| Su Roper User ID: 1059132 United States08/05/2010 02:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi, I an Independent consultant with Shelf Reliance. We are doing home Parties now (so you can try the delicious THRIVE food before you buy it), so I sell Shelf Reliance products for absolutely the lowest price, guaranteed. We also are price matching (so if you find Shelf Reliance product for less at Costco, Walmart, Sam's Club or any other big retailer we will match that price). To learn more about how to get the special party price discount, just contact me @ [email protected] or call (801)472-7196. |

As to calories, I am 45 (woman) and can consume 1,000 calories a day, and not lose a DAMN thing. Even with exercising three days a week at CURVES. Now, if I take a stimulant like Stimerex ES, then the weight will come off (with a reduced calorie diet). BTW this THRIVE stuff is kind of pricey, isn't it? Most people in this economy cannot afford this. |

Quoting: snarkMountain House are meals ready to heat (boil) and eat. The costco package is ingredients, wheat, rice, etc and various fruits, veggies and condiments. Not comparable |
| Survivor User ID: 1420281 United States06/08/2011 04:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I got a few cans from this guy: [link to www.neonoah.shelfreliance.com] We tried the corn and it was surprisingly pretty damn good. I mean even freeze dried it tasted exactly how corn should taste. And this was uncooked, straight from the can. It was incredible! I remember freeze-dried stuff from the past being pretty lame but this stuff was actually good. I had the strawberries and mango as well and they both were good. Not too bad. You want to compare prices and pre-cooked versus uncooked? How about you try eating the stuff first? No point in saving a few bucks if the food tastes horrible and is full of funky chemicals. We're going to buy a few cans of veggies and make a veggie trail-mix for healthy snacking at work. This stuff also rocks for eating today because the stuff won't go back in a week after opening like fresh veggies and fruit. It's worth a try to order a few cans just to see how you like it.  |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1432191 United States06/17/2011 11:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The thrive products offered by Costco and Multi-level Marketing company Shelf Reliance are low end products and are lacking in good nutrition and have a lot of empty calories compared to many of the other products out there. They would get you by if need be, but I would only recommend them as a base product. You will need to add other food products to create a nutritious meal. Alone it is very bland will leave you hungry. I would try to get samples of other companies products before committing to a huge stock pile of Thrive.I Find it kind of overpriced and "nitch-ey" - built for people who had not already taken steps to build their food storage. If you do buy, I would purchase it from Costco as opposed to Shelf Reliance. Unless of course you are into multi-level marketing. |

| Vision Thing User ID: 1110850 United States06/17/2011 11:28 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, my local Walmart has also devoted an entire section in the grocery department for "Emergency preparedness" Quoting: Cy KoticCool what state do you live in? Second that and also, what kind of stuff do they have in that aisle? Is it mostly flashlights and stuff, or what kind of food selections did they choose to highlight? How did they indicate "emergency preparedness" is it on a big overhead sign? Do they have any educational materials, brochures, in the aisle? Just curious, that is interesting marketing, I'm sure they wouldn't be doing it if they hadn't had such a big demand and people asking. |
