If you're shopping at Costco, you're already planning on stocking up, so why not go all out? For just $999.99, the warehouse club offers a one-year "emergency food kit" that can get you through a mild apocalypse or just keep you from having to worry about groceries until October 2018.

 

Seeing as the 6,200 Nutristore kit is on the bottom end of Costco's offerings, you have to assume someone must be buying them. Costco also sells similar one-year emergency food kits from brands like Thrive ($3,999.99) and Mountain House ($4,499.99). Or if you're willing to throw down about $6,000, Nutristore even has a 36,000-serving kit that promises a more substantial 2,000 calories per day for what is sure to be an already pretty hellish year. But then again, with a shelf-life of about two and a half decades, if these kits don't sell like hotcakes, Costco doesn't have to worry about its stock going bad anytime soon.

Yes, everyone's favorite wholesale retailer is now selling a doomsday package that is big enough to feed a family of 4 for a year. Priced between $1,000 and $6,000, the emergency kit is filled with fruits, veggies, proteins and dairy. The freeze-dried items included reportedly have a 25-year shelf life.

 

Costco writes, "Enjoy the comfort in knowing you have the essential foods your family will need to survive an emergency or natural disaster!"
