3.49 for a single box? Crikey, I could probably feed myself for at least 3 days on that.

Do people not have a Greengrocer close to them anymore or something? Surely Tescos Metro have a fruit section?

It's not like that. There's an element of excitement for the surprise. You can specify but you never really know what's going to be in your box!

Ah, a bit like taking a **** home after a night out?

Nothing says healthy like having someone bring you your food while you sit at a desk browsing the internet.

I got a voucher (£5? can't remember) for these a while ago, never used it though. Email in trust if anyone wants to try it.

Did it for a few months last year, was nice. In the end though I just brought big bags of the things I liked in Tesco and brought a bit of each to work each day.

Got me eating a few things i'd never tried before though

Any cheap places to buy nuts in bulk online? I'd love to have a big bag of pistachios/almonds/walnuts/brazil nuts so I can take a small box into uni to keep me going through the day.

You can buy all that stuff at Holland and Barrett for a good price.

I tried it for a couple months.

It was quite good, let me try new things I wouldn't have chosen in Tesco.
£3 per delivery was quite steep though when you add it up 2x pw = £24pm :eek:

I stopped it after awhile, but if I had the money I'd still probably get it!

I tried it too. I think it's supposed to be a replacement for lunch but I ended up buying a second lunch because there wasn't enough in the box! Our office has fruit delivered daily now so I stopped the service.

Tried it when it was on offer for free or half price, was ok but seemed a bit expensive when full price.

Bennie-Mac · 10 Nov 2010 at 16:48

It seems like the Toyota Prius of lunch. Not my cup of tea at all.

Mainly for women by the looks of it. The food looks terrible.

Mostly the kind of women I guess that eat nuts and bananas and then scoff half a tonne of cakes when it's someone's birthday.

Boss at work used to get these delivered, his wife was trying to make him more healthy. It would probably have worked if he didn't still go out for a sandwich or a Maccy D's as well lol

Sounds like you need to expand your diet past raw steak.

If you want his job keep sending him there.

looks like a crap dinner to me.

My diet is varied, which is precisely why I cannot see the appeal of that website, unless you are a woman that wants to look like a crack addict.

Just got mine.

I have some olives, flapjacks, forest nuts and some chocolate and cherries!

Yum so far!
