Just when you thought 2024 couldn’t get any weirder, Costco has decided to spice things up by selling an “apocalypse bucket.” Yes, you read that right—a 25-year emergency dinner kit, perfect for those of us who like to plan ahead… way ahead. Is this a savvy business move or a sign that Costco executives know something we don’t? Should we all be prepping for the end times between our bulk toilet paper runs and five-pound cheese blocks?
The timing is eerily impeccable. The streaming world is buzzing with dystopian delights like “The Fallout,” where doomsday scenarios are the new prime-time drama. One can’t help but wonder if Costco’s marketing team has been binging too much post-apocalyptic TV.
But let’s not panic just yet. After all, nothing screams “business as usual” like stockpiling 25 years’ worth of emergency mac and cheese. Sure, the idea of a dinner kit that outlasts your mortgage is a bit unsettling. But isn’t it nice to know that when the world ends, we’ll still have a gourmet feast waiting in a giant plastic bucket?
On the flip side, maybe this is the wake-up call we need. Perhaps it’s time to dust off our zombie apocalypse plans and brush up on survival skills. But then again, who has the energy for that when there are streaming services to binge and social media feeds to scroll through?
So, fellow Costco shoppers, do we embrace the apocalypse bucket or dismiss it as a quirky marketing gimmick? Maybe a bit of both. For now, let’s enjoy our bulk snacks and oversized TV screens, hoping that the closest we get to an apocalypse is watching it unfold on our favorite dystopian shows.
Nothing to see here, folks. Just back to your regularly scheduled programming—unless, of course, Costco’s got the inside scoop. In that case, pass the apocalypse bucket, and let’s get prepared.

As one of the ‘vulnerable,’ as it’s been so quaintly put, I know I won’t last long past the apocalypse – can’t walk, need modern plumbing, delicate digestive system, and require daily pain meds – so I don’t need one.
The husband, likewise, has medical needs – he takes a lot of prescription meds – and has a number of things which can go whoops in the night and end badly.
We won’t survive.
Maybe presents for the three children?

Preparation is perfectly reasonable.
Everyone has their own threshold. Some people couldn’t go a day without power others would be comfortable for weeks on their own. I tend towards the latter.
But, somehow, 25 years feels excessive. That’s 25 years of minimal to no contact with anyone else because if privation became that great, you could not allow yourself to be seen as well nourished while the surrounding populace was starving. Not a life I would accept.

50 years ago a psychic told me my future. I was 22. I’m 72 now. All has come to pass but one prediction. That I would, with my partner, be responsible for savings lives. No idea what that means. I thought it would happen on my job. I’m retired now. I’m not particularly religious but do believe in a higher power. It’s curious
