I'm thinking of getting a 3 month supply for myself, but I'm not sure if I'll like it. Is it worth it?

Some other thoughts: Build a rocket stove, have a grill with a least 8 grill tanks, buy a solar cooker.. if your concerns are for a true emergency with no power.
Canned and dried food in a regular grocery store will give you more than a years supply of food at the same price point.
Rice/beans/tuna/chicken/salmon/spam/spices/hot sauce/soy sauce/canned veggies/ etc. You don't need all that salt and carbs in that "emergency" crap. Avoid canned food with tomatoes in it of any type for long term storage.
Groceries are expensive where I live though.
I recently lucked out, my neighbor who works at a church pantry brought me several boxes of MREs that the church wasn't able to use. Those kits are sold alot at gun shows and I've heard pretty good things. MREs are actually cheaper I think $60 a box or so.
Haven't seen it, is it from My Patriot Supply? If so, it's good. Have a stockpile already from them, about like you are thinking of.
Yeah, it's My Patriot supply.
Good stuff, love it. Word to the wise, the coffee is instant. Other than that, pretty much WYSIWYG.
WYSIWYG?
What You See Is What You Get. Gotta be careful about the bread mix in the #10 cans- it says it has everything you need, but there is the small caveat that you must provide your own yeast, water, and oil. But it's good, I tried it and baked some decent loaves. Everything else is sitting in my large-ish "survival closet" though, and won't be opened until I absolutely need to.
The idea with emergency food is that you don’t eat it when there’s not an emergency. If you just want tasty prepared foods, get one of those millennial chow boxes
