Preparing a small resource of food and water since the political climate this fall looks unstable. What is the opinion of MREs? The ones on Ebay are very expensive. Perhaps the supermarket canned and packaged items would be less costly and better quality?

There are lots of options. It really just is up to your particular situation. I suggest geting something that tastes good. It's bad for moral to be in a situation requiring you to eat survival food and having it taste like crap.

After I read your post, I checked prices on eBay for MREs. They're actually not too bad. In the Military Commissary where we shop (Shepard AFB), they want almost $8 for one MRE.
Of course, back when I was on Active Duty, we could buy a case of them from the Supply Dept. for $14.

How long wil MREs keep without going bad in the warm Texas climate?
They're tasty enough, and the water-activated heaters are great, but I'd hate to have a few cases of them turn out inedible due to long-term storage.

They will go bad pretty quick in the summer heat. I have had to eat a couple of bad MRE's on occasion. It is not a pretty sight, and you might not realize they are bad at first.
