How much do they charge, and what size or portions do they give you?

It's £3.89 per box and you get 4 portions - range from 70-230 calories.... ample portions for a little snack when you're peckish.... better than reaching for a choc bar and more exciting than an apple/banana IMO. I have 2 boxes a week, I'm addicted
Highly recommended.I can give a friend code so you get your first box free - If i'm allowed to do such a thing on this forum? - Mods? |

I had a Graze subscription last year for about 6/7 months. I loved it whilst there were still (decent) new things to try, but once you've tried all you want to try, the novelty wears off. I'm back to getting my snacks from the supermarket now, where I get more for my money.

I love their vanilla pumpkin and sunflower seeds! Shame you can't buy a bigger pack of your favourites. I wonder if coating plain seeds with vanilla extract and icing sugar would taste the same?! Hmmm!!

I tried it but even when I ticked the gluten free box they still insisted on giving me things with gluten.

I have been doing this on and off for about 2 years. When I first started they were £3.49 so the price has gone up quite abit especially when I'm not getting anymore. They are cute and exciting however I have "binned" a lot of the items (mainly the dried fruit) so I do get a lot of repeats, after a while it does get boring AND they hardly ever send the nice ones ie the bread and cakes

I'm not sure if I've just been lucky so far to get a variety of things each time. |

What is in these boxes that you can't get cheaper and more plentifully in any normal supermarket, Holland and Barretts or whole foods store?

It just seems so exorbitantly expensive. If I were into the foods, I'd just buy the ones I like, and a few compartmentalised tupperware boxes, and make up my own. I guess it's pretty much the same as people buying sandwiches at the shop instead of making a packed lunch though...

for example: i just had peppermint raisins, last night i had chilli and lime pistachios... imagine buying all those individual flavourings etc etc.... i'd end up making just plain old pistachios and plain old raisins and I just wouldn't eat them - too boring. for me, it's worth the money and it's less than £1 a tub.... what can you get for £1 these days eh

£1 a tub? I'm confused - I thought it was £.99 or something. I must have got the wrong end of the stick. With a subscription, how much does it cost a day, and do you get 7 days a week?

Some of the items are quite unique however a lot of it Ive seen on Holland and Barrett and/or supermarkets so for me Id rather just buy a big bag of pistachios than pay for the little pots |

Each to their own, I think they're great.
Anyway, I have a friend code up for grabs if anyone wants to PM me.... I gives you the 1st, 5th and 10th boxes free.

It does help my weight loss because it's an exciting snack to look forward to in the evening as opposed to a bar of choc/cake. I find fruit/nuts plain and boring. Plus it helps portion control because they're already prepacked and if I was to make my own I'd probably put twice that amount at least

As a weight watchers member I found certain items very high in points. One box I had was 19 points for the 4 items in it, to put into a language non WW people will understand a Mcds chicken sandwich and fries is around about the same points value so for me personally I didn't think it was worth the points

It's just that there's such a wide range of foods that I couldn't possibly make myself.
for example: ) |

I got graze for about 6 months and it was fun for most of the time to get the random packages. I loved the olives, the chocolate and fruit mixes - the hot cross yum and blueberry swirl. The dips were nice too. Wasn't too keen on just dried fruit and the cracker type things although there's various ways of trying to get what you want.
I did get bored after a few months but I've looked at the site and there are a lot more new products - I might rejoin for a while. I think a lot of the mixes are very unique. As for the price in the grand scheme of things it isn't much - if you were on an extremely tight budget it would not be worth it but it's less than 2 shop bought coffees or a glass of wine out. |
