Milk and More fruit and veg boxes

bramble1

I've just ordered on to see if they are any good - Has anyone got one before? £11.99 for a fruit, veg and salad box - a bit pricey, but i don't actually know what amount you get for your money. I probably should of asked here before i ordered it. But i'm sure it will all get eaten anyway.

Was a few months ago though.

Mmmm very mixed results - oh well will give it a shot, if it's no good i'll stick to the supermarket!

My OH's mum gets a box delivered weekly, not sure where from, I'm guessing a local shop or farm and the stuff she gets seems to be good value and lots of it. Not sure how much it costs though.

It may be worth looking at a site such as rosspa.co.uk where you could put together your own fruit/veg/salad boxes which would ensure you only received items you know you like so nothing will go to waste.
Their fruit & veg prices are pretty reasonable & they have a "Pick And Mix with any other product the same price" offer for items which are 2for£1, 3for£1, 5for£1 etc... which allows you to add a bit of variation without bumping up the cost too much.

I order my fruit and veg from www.riverford.co.uk and can highly recommend them. Produce lasts much longer compared to supermarket bought stuff and it tastes a lot nicer too.

well, I got my box this morning, quality i can't fault, all fresh, but not overly so should last the week.

NOT a great amount for your money though!!

6 x apples
Cherry Toms
1kg bananas
4 x oranges
Bag red onions
Sweetheart cabbage
lettuce
cucumber

I think i could get twice as much with my money in even waitrose! So won't bother again, unless desperate!
