Flea market score

[knobcreeknut]

Just picked up 100 various backpackers pantry meals for $2 each at a local flea market. Expirations of 2020+ Wish I would have stopped in before now. They said the booth used to have 5x as many

Where is said flea market located??

I will second that! Would like to catch a find like that. I have not gone to flea markets for a while, pissed me off when I saw the $70 box of 22's last year and thought it would be best for my blood pressure not to go back in the one down here.

I'd assume somewhere near Shelbyville.

That's a good score for some long term storage food.

I can say in my history of backpacking and camping I'm pretty much burned out on eating that stuff for meals while on the trail, but there is still a good convenience factor in taking some along on trips when you need some quick and easy eats.

Either way you got a heck of a deal!

have you tried them out yet? some are pretty good. the military MRE's have come a long way too.

I scored some mag pouches and some survival items at the flea market in beech grove. The guy had a lot of new 'tactical' type gear and packs. I love yard sales, flea markets, and antique stores.

My gf is into this flea market stuff and wants to drag me along. I was dreading it but this makes me more hopeful.

I have accumulated a lot of supplies from Goodwill. Lanterns, Military packs, BDU's, winter gear, Pac man boots, M-65 Jackets, Poncho with liners, gas mask, self inflating sleeping pads, tents and the list goes on !!!
