    What sort of things do you get in the lucky box? Is it worth the spend?
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    I have always found the lucky boxes to be brill if there is a lucky box on offer when I am placing an order I always add it. Lots in there and a variety of stuff so you want got a box full of just one or two things you don't like. I have three kids who love seeing whats in the box there are always lots of treats in there too.

    I had a shockingly awful lucky box full of ancient stuff which was hopeless. That was more than a year ago, but I think they are a bit of a risk.

    I'm surprised that you had a bad one but as they are 99p or less I think most people can afford the risk. If you can't don't buy it anyway as most of the stuff is non essential like snacks which can be cut out completely when skint.

    Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Approved Foods. Have been wanting to place an order for ages but never seemed to have enough in the bank to spare to place an order and only realised the other day that I could pay with paypal. Placed an order for £35 and it arrived today within the 1 hour time slot text to me.

    I'm like a kid with a new toy. Everything boxed beautifully and nothing missing or damaged.

    Big thumbs up to Aaron who picked my order.

    Thank you again Approved Foods. Will be back very very soon!

    Received my first order today and very pleased. Well packed and kept updated throughout the packing/dispatching/delivery process. Will definately use again and recommend them to others.

    My cats are now in 7th heaven playing with 2 huge boxes and the 8 or so smaller boxes that were inside :0)
  • Excellent delivery as usual, everything packed well, very happy

    I wouldn't have minded but I think this was a £4.99 lucky box. Still, it sounds as if they have improved. Anyway to contribute some good news, my favourite item that we are eating from Approved food would have to be the lower fat butterkist- it has to be as I accidentally ordered twice as much as I wanted, and I was buying for the school film club, so ordered about 30 boxes. Also I love the soreen fruity fives and the fruit in jelly/ low cal jelly has been good. And right now I am off to make up a lemon tart- top quality and super yummy.
