Graze boxes.....

Options
In 2013, I was gifted a membership to the Graze boxes which are 4 individual boxes of snacks that you can choose from on their website. I've had a bunch that I enjoy and are great to throw in my purse on the run. I've also had a few not so great ones and ended pawning them off on my bosses, lol! I just wondered what fellow MFP's thought of these :smiley:

    I didn't care for them myself. Had a strange aftertaste and several of the ones I was interested in had very similar seasoning.

    I like the surprise aspect of them, but the contents can be hit and miss. Except for the Campfire S'mores. I wish that was in allllll the boxes.

    I really like graze. It lets me have a large variety of snacks in my desk drawer at work. I've even been able to recreate some of the nut/fruit/seeds combinations from the bulk bins at Whole Foods.

    I sent away and got my free box. But I cancelled before the subscription kicked in.

    They were all right...just all right. I thought they were fairly tasty. I just didn't think it was worth $8 for a glorified handful of crackers.

    Once the price went up it no longer seemed worth it. It was fun getting new snacks in the mail, but they weren't really big enough for me to considering a snack. :3

    It's $6 actually.

    I get it once a month, I've actually switched to the 8 snack box as it's $10. I did 'trash' a bunch of stuff I know I wouldn't like though, but everything else has been delicious, and I'm definitely eating more nuts thanks to them (I could NEVER make them so tasty myself).

    They offer big bags now too, but a full bag of their flapjacks is just WAY too dangerous.

    Had to Google them as I've never heard of them before. Is it worth the price?

    Actually we're both off - they're advertised on the site as $6.99.

    In any case, I can go buy 2 bags of Chex Mix, portion them out into about 4x the number of 150 calorie servings as I get with a Graze box.

    But that's just my opinion...

    I used to get them and like getting them. But I usually ate them all at once. Weren't a good value, so I stopped buying them. Also tried nature box.

    No, the 4 snack box is $6...

    And yeah, value wise, you can get the same amount of calories elsewhere for much less money, it's just not as tasty IMO. So for me it's worth a couple more extra $.

    Actually, for me here in the States, the 4 count box is $5, or less if you have referrals. The 8 count is ~$6. I get the once a month for my daughter who eats them that day as a treat, not really a snack like thing for us.

    I love them - nicely portion controlled, and good variety of sweet & savory. I believe I am grandfathered in at $6 with shipping, and I think they're worth it. The chili honey almonds and all the flapjacks are my favorites. The banana dippers are yummy too.

    I found a pretty good recipe that tastes pretty close to the graze chili honey almonds: http://damndelicious.net/2013/12/10/sriracha-cinnamon-sugar-candied-nuts/

    Well...they must discount off the advertised price then, cause when I open up the home page, I see 4 snack box, $6.99

    In any event, we agree that they're high in price compared to other options. But yes, they are more varied and probably more convenient than portioning out a big bag of something else.

    It looks like they recently raised the prices for new customers.

    I haven't tried them, but I have a monthly tea subscription box that I love.

    Oh yikes, yeah, $6.99 would be too much.
