Yes, I have. The fruit and veg is very good and tastes great. We use to have a box delivered every week but didn't eat half the stuff so became a waste so we stopped. We now get a box every two weeks and it's great. The veg and fruit is seasonal so may be some things you do not eat.

thouht i would give these veg boxes a go a while ago and have been hesitating until i saw this offer. now i have a salad box due to turn up on saturday. generally their prices look fair, i ran the cotents through mysupermarket.com and got a higher basket total at all four supermarkets. this does not allow for yellow sticker purchasing though but i do get fed up of lugging home heavy fruit and veg on the bus. thanks op.

Well mine arrived and it contained:
A bag of mixed salad
A small bag of potatoes
A bunch of carrots
2 x courgettes
1 x cucumber
A small box of cherry tomatoes
A bag of Chard

So at less than £5 that worked out well but I think I would be a little disappointed if I had paid the full £9.95..

I used to get a box delivered with a different company and it was much better value. Convenient but not really a saving for me I don't think.

I get a veg box ( not from Riverford as they are not in my area) and I love the suprise of seeing what is in the box but as Mrs E has found out you have to have a clear idea of what you like and don't like.
I work with my supplier and advise what I don't want..ie never have spuds as get them locally

I love trying the new things and having to use my brain to make a dinner around the veg and for us it works out about the same price as store bought as it comes to us and lasts a whole week for under a tenner. I have also found the veggies tend to stay fresher then store bought ones as well which helps.


Although I can't use this offer I was going to say that if people used it to try the first time could they not then get the box made as they like it after that ?
I am sure Riverford would offer that.


Added because of the above..It does seem that they are more expensive then most, certainly more then the scheme I use.

Riverford don't customise boxes. I like that because it makes me try new things.

When comparing prices remember it's all organic. Riverford are cheaper than the other organic vegboxes in my area, I looked at them all.
