My favourite bit of Degustabox are the treats. The chocolates, sweets, crisps etc.
Just two drinks this month, both of which I am quite familiar with.
They are from the same company - Feel Good. The infusions being one of the new refreshing additions but not really a flavour I'm too fond of. It just doesn't sit well with my palette, I don't like mint and it's quite watery too. The orange and mango still juice is on the other hand a lovely refreshing treat.
Finally the cupboard treats, or the items with a longer shelf life that can be stored in my cupboard.
Heinz spaghetti hoops, the no added sugar variety make a very simple and easy lunch during school holidays. Tinned spaghetti on toast being one of the rare things that all three of my kids will actually eat.
Kabuto Noodles - I've had a fair few of these noodle pots in my boxes over the past few months. Unfortunately again, I'm not a big fan of pot noodle snacks or microwave noodles so I end up giving these away.
I found the October box a little bit of a strange one. There seemed to be a fair few "repeat" products from previous months. A few social network comments from box subscribers state the same too.
I did enjoy a few of the products, mainly the Nuttvia, hot chocolate, and my children loved the millions and always enjoy spaghetti. The salt will come in useful as it will last a while, salt of course being used for many things, not just chips. The Chinese sauces will be used in the next few weeks and I'll hopefully remember to get a quick snap of the dishes I make. All the treat products are now gone, along with the drinks. I did like the addition of the novelty fortune cookie, even tho they don't taste great to eat, it's one of those silly food type products that everyone wonders what's actually inside. None of us like the protein bars or the noodle snack, but apart from that it's been a fairly good box.
The content total is approximately £21.00 or just over and subscribers pay just £12.99 per box including the postage and packing. Therefore it's still worth it even with the odd few products that we don't really like. Degustabox currently have an amazing offer of 55% off a box, meaning the box only costs £5.99 (including p&p) instead of the usual £12.99.
If you're new to reading my posts and have never heard of Degustabox then head over to Degustabox UK to read all about the monthly subscription.
In a nutshell you get up to 15 different full size products delivered in a box each month. The products are usually new items that have recently appeared in UK stores and supermarkets or even products yet to hit stores, sometimes mixed with a few well known items. The products will never be small sample packets as no one wants those do they? Some boxes contain alcohol, some don't, you can choose whether to receive an alcohol box or not. It's all about trying new things each month. Yes there will usually be one or two items which you won't like but just do what I do and offer them to friends and family to try instead.
Degustabox is without a doubt my favourite food/snack subscription box and yes I've sampled a fair few different ones.
