Best part about this method is:
1. they are "fresh"
2. don't have to worry about shipping

That is only the officers.
Unless something has drastically changed, when you're and enlisted person on Uncle Sams time, he picks up the tab for your food (lunch on weekend drills and the whole 3 meal a day thing on Annual Training).
Officers are given a load more pay, but they are expected to buy their own meals/uniforms/etc.
