We tried something similar which we picked up in a Decathlon in France. It wasn't bad ... provided us a meal one night. I'm not sure I'd want to eat it much more frequently than that.

However, if I'm reading it right, that's 12 meals for approx. $55 ... $4.50/meal. You could probably stop in at McDonalds and get a meal for less than that. But even better, why not go look at the packaged pasta, rice, couscous, etc. section in your local grocery store? You can get a lot of products now that just involve adding hot water ... or setting in a pot of boiling water (double boiler effect) ... for less than that.
