Well we got a box today and the strawberry jellies were horrible - my kids wanted one as they helped me unpack, but the taste of sweetener is just overwhelming IMHO.
Ritter chocolate with hazelnuts is lovely, and the only 'new' thing we got is the chocolate puddings and some hidden veg beans.

jelly is ok when it is cold - and i always think that it is worth trying something cheap if you may have bought it full price - iyswim??

we got loads of chocolate, chewing gum and orange juice in last delivery - all lovely!

co-op choc puddings have all gone and the salt and black pepper crackers in lunch packs of 2 are great for emergency snack at work.

toffee chewey bars and jordans are great and naan breads are fine unless you burn them!!!

tins of grapefruit are HUGE!! going to open one when we have a pot big enough to store rest in fridge :j

x-mas pudding is massive in proper old fashioned pudding bowl that can be used again - oh keeps asking where it has gone (saving for when outlaws come over!!)

no more trips to the shop for snacks for a couple of months now :money:

I agree the sweetener is overwhelming & they are horrible!
Didnt realise they had sweetener in them as they are 'real fruit' jellies! Bought the strawberry & orange ones and we didnt like either! Gave them to my sister in law & her kids love them!!!

Latest on new things we've tried:
Salsa verde - lovely mexican dip, very hot though!
Italian flatbread - good, high quality product.
Swiss chocolate minibars - great, you wouldn't know they were past date.
Cupcakes - good as usual.
Dietary special cereal bars - both varieties are good, just a bit too sweet.
Rosemary pretzels - delicious & a HUGE bag.
Loyd Grossman soup - good & great value.

I've read the last three pages here so apologies if I've asked a silly Q. Can you tell me, I know it says on the web what the bb date is BUT is that the date you get? What I mean to say is, will I get something OLDER than I thought it was? I don't mind deciding to get something at X date but will I get it?

The best before date on the site is the best before date you receive

The Swiss 'Finest' range boxes of chocolates are absolutely delicious. People at work love them too. Very classy box.

well the choc puds are nice but too small (just me being greedy) and the hidden veg beans take some getting used to but i will curry some for my veggie mum who is visiting soon
bracing myself for another order but there was too much chocolate on the site LOL
