Headlines like, “WWIII has likely started already, but we have been slow to recognize it,” from Bill Ackman, and corporate media pushing nuclear war hype and hysteria had sparked unease among American households who hadn’t felt this way since the early days of the virus pandemic when they were caught empty-handed with limited supplies to weather COVID lockdowns.
Americans, many of whom have been transformed into preppers in a post-COVID era, are at it again, panic hoarding supplies as they fear Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could be the catalyst for the next world war (well, at least they think this way because corporate media is telling them). What’s evident so far is that Russia’s ongoing conflict within Ukraine is disrupting global supply chains and food supplies. People see the writing on the wall as prices soar at gas stations and supermarkets. The conflict overseas is already sending commodity prices sky-high, which may eventually spark shortages.
So as Americans unleash their inner prepper. They’re panic hoarding ReadyWise emergency food kits sold at Costco Wholesale Corporation’s brick and mortar stores and or online that at least one variety of the products has already been sold out.
ReadyWise’s 5,400 serving count of emergency food pallet is “out of stock,” according to Costco’s website. The emergency food kit comes in 36 stackable 5.3-gallon buckets of food that last up to 25-years.
Looks like Costco has sold out almost all their emergency food, especially the Mountain house branded items. Everything online goes to an error page. Even the $2200-$6000 pallets are sold out. Cold War 2.0 panic is here. pic.twitter.com/9PK6gH8k0s

A customer on the Costco website reviewed the product in early March, days after the invasion of Ukraine, and said, “It never hurts to be prepared. Nice variety of foods, it’s easy to store and the shelf life is unbeatable. And it doesn’t taste bad at all.’
“Be prepared. Spend the money,” another customer wrote.
Since the invasion, search interest for ReadyWise has rocketed above COVID highs.
Besides food, Americans are frantically searching where to buy potassium iodide in case of nuclear war.
While food and medicine are essential, panic hoarding ammunition is already underway.
It never hurts to prepare, considering the fog of war in eastern Europe remains intact, and an end to the conflict is still unknown.
Minnesota and Maine... Just coincidental that’s where the Somalis are going?
Nope.
Just.... prepared.
I tried some mtn house stuff.
It was tasty, but for the next few days I felt I was going die from an intestinal disagreement.
Are the kits from 1999 still good?
Stupid to buy that overpriced, carb-loaded crap, unless you plan to pack up and go driving. Otherwise simply buy their canned food and rice, and even room-temperature packaged food. You’ll need water and a way to heat up that water, in any case.
The canned food is good for 5 to 10 years regardless of its date. The other packaged stuff, closer to 2 years. In any case the food will last much longer than our Ukraine blunder.
Somalis in Ohio, too. Lots of ‘em.
Not getting why anyone needs to buy a fancy “emergency food pallet”. Why not just use the money to buy many, many cans of soup and stew instead?
I’m more a collector of rice, beans, spam and sardines myself. LoL
Glad I got some a while back. I keep some extra to survive for a couple months if we have to. Always buy a little extra. Just a smart thing to do in general.
Call Glenn Beck.
I’m sure he’s got a warehouse full of food kits available for sale.
I was born & raised in Ohio. Where are the majority of them located?
Columbus. There’s a pat of town there referred to as little Somalia. South of Morse Rd, between Karl Rd and Gahanna.
This is the sponsor for the SpaceXcentric / Cloudlicker guy (Kevin something).
Sam’s Club?
Just checked....Sams Club is out, too.
Glad I bought ours when Bammy was selected. 😂
Amazon and eBay have them in stock.
I’ve got no Costco pallets of food but I did get a bottle of Potassium iodide today....so there!
I think #10 cans last at least 10 yrs....
Lucky you.
