Graze box any good?

I liked them when the did fresh fruit but not such good value now they don't. I get them now and again when i have a code, they are handy but do get a bit fed up with them after a while. Bought them often when I worked in retail but now im in catering I tend to get lunch for free so would not be cost effective. Easy enough to cancel if you don't like your free box

I've been a Graze subscriber for 2 years now, so I still get mine at the old price of £2.99. I have one on a Thursday which, if I'm good, lasts me through Friday and round till Monday.

I could probably buy loads of nuts, seeds etc for £3 but I like the way it is all portioned out with a nutritional leaflet so I know the calories etc. Yes, some do have chocolate in but it's measured and counted and you'll find the other items in that week's box are designed to compensate for a high calorie count one. Plus, it stops me buying extra bits and keeps me out of the office biscuit tin.

You can "push back" deliveries, so if I'm a bit fed up with it, I just defer delivery for a week or two and then when it arrives again, I'm just as in love with it as ever.

I've found their customer service is first rate. I sent a message to complain my Wee Bonnie Oatbakes (with red onion chutney,yum) were over baked and crumbled really easily. They sent a note back that my next box would be free.

I'll keep on with them for now.

Myself and DH love our graze boxes. We have them delivered to work on Monday and I have a pot a day (on Fridays we get cake in the office!) but DH gobbles them in one sitting. They stop me going to the chocolate machine, though not much cheaper, they feel better than chocolate.

They are also advertising on TV at the moment with a free trial box code - can't remember what it is though!

Off the top of my head, having seen the ad a few times, I think it might be something like 'YUM4'

Not sure if there's any posted on the MSE's voucher board though there appears to be a few vouchers on HotUKDeals. Some appear expired though if you scroll down a bit you see one or two that are still usable.

The one mentioned by p00hsticks is also on HotUKDeals.

dried fruits and nuts are bad apparently!!)

Why do you say that?

OK, Wikipedia may not be the most reliable source of information though the following is an interesting read nevertheless.

I love them. I'm like the person above, I like the way they are portioned out and I can make a portion last all morning.

I only get one or two a month now though as I'm hard up. They are a nice treat and I like that you don't know what you are getting.

Maybe this will help! One of my favourite YouTubers reviewed a Graze box

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

Flyer in Saturdays Daily Telegraph offering a "free" box if we enter promo code and say what are the foods we like and then Graze will send a free box.
Reality is that before you get your "free" box they try and get you to submit card details which constitutes the start of an ordering process.

This is a similar exercise to the wine companies where they hope that you forget to cancel your subscription which bears absolutely no relationship to the "free"offer contained in the flyer. In fact the "free" offer is totally conditional on handing over card details.
So totally misleading and on that basis means that doubt creeps in.
Beware....

OH had them for a couple of months but decided he liked 9 bars better. It's much cheaper to buy little raisin packs in Lidl or Home Bargains, YS organic dried fruit & nuts, organic Bombay mix from Holland & Barrett on BOGOHP/BOGOfor1p, or even fruit & nuts from Poundland.
