Grazebox

Been having them for a couple of months now, every other week... quite nice to snack on every now and then :)
 
overpriced for what you get tbh.

you can make the same thing yourself for cheaper or buy big bags from supermarket for cheap and then just divide it up into tiny portions.

it's £1 per snack roughly (who cares if it's delivered to your door, as everyone does shopping i imagine anyway) and the snacks are tiny, for £1 you can get a big bag of peanuts, cashews or dried fruit anyway as a snack whereas I could easily eat all 4 of these £1 each versions in one go as a snack.
 
Their good if your lazy or have no idea what is healthy, otherwise just do it yourself for cheaper and more suitable to your own palette.

Great idea but they should be selling them wholesale to supermarkets not straight to door. I imagine they would be a lot popular then as well as cheaper

Yep, it's the convenience you're paying for.

They are great snacks, and the selection is excellent, plus having them meant I didn't need to bring in snacks in my pack when commuting, but...they're just too expensive.
 
Actually one distinct advantage of the Grazebox is the portion sizes - it stopped me pigging out on snacks. Eg I take in a bag of wasabi peas, dried fruit, or whatever, with the intention of making it last a week. Yeah, right.

I'm like that as well... This is currently my 'off week' from my Grazebox, and yesterday I spent £1.25 on a bag of BBQ cashews from Morrisons (100g) and ate the lot within about 30 minutes!

I'd agree, its expensive for what you get, and you do pay for the convenience, however for me, its very useful!
 
Always thought these looked quite nice to snack on but never bothered to try.

I have started making trips to what I call the 'the scoop shop'. Grab your bag, fill it up with stuff, all priced by weight.

They also do nuts, dried fruits things like that, perfect for getting rid of that mid afternoon hunger.

- I have realised chocolate raisins aren't one of your five a day.
 
Pretty expensive, £1 per snack is ridiculous. You could make up your own much cheaper, although the portion sizes are nice. Just be careful, they're probably really high in sugar especially once you take away the fat.

That's why you should buy little poly bags or a container with small compartments or a tiffin box.

When you get home from work you fill it up with a small amount for snacking on the next day, rather than taking the full lot in one go.

Will work out far far cheaper in the long run even if you need to spend a few quid on a container or some small bags and rubber bands or what not.

Your paying majorly for convenience and delivery costs, postage is horrendous these day. I bet around £2 of the price you pay (just under £4) is for postage alone.
 
Be a real man and get a few 5kg bags of various nuts delivered to work. Grab a case of Tesco value sultanas and you'll be sorted for a few months. Bonus points if you create a small partition wall in your office using all the bags and boxes. :D
 
They're awesome.

Had them a few times and my sister always gets them. If I wasn't so tight for cash right now I'd be subscribed to them. A nice surprise when you walk in your door and see it on your floor ready to go :D

I'd need more than healthy snacks to get through my day if i had to work in an office!
 
What a coincidence you brought this up. Somebody from them came to drop off a sample selection for us to try yesterday. I personally wouldn't buy because it is likely to be cheaper to just buy the separate ingredients and make up packs yourself.

The dried apple though....yuk!
