Are you prepared?

They don't taste great at first but once your forced to live on them for weeks/months at a time, you start looking forward to meal time. Plus, you can get pretty creative with them after awhile.

I've seen MRE's on the civilian market and even civilian versions.  They are typically pretty expensive.   Out of curiosity I just looked and they have some on Amazon and they are $355 for 24 meals.   So nearly $15 bucks a piece.  I agree they are indeed great to have for emergencies especially if you might need to be on the move due to their much lighter weight than lugging around a bunch of canned food.  Plus one meal has almost an entire days worth of calories needed by the average person.

I just think for people just getting started setting up some basic preparedness starting with canned foods are the way to go as far as cost.  Especially if you get a lot of stuff you will eat anyway because you can rotate things as you consume them and restock with newer stuff before they go bad.
