Me too!!! :rotfl:

If alliasojo was not such a regular poster I would think she was a Graze box employee sent here as a plant...well....who knows that she is not?! Maybe they were playing a long game, building up all our trust, all those posts, and then BANG! Luring us in to their deliciously sinful snack box goodness...

Mmmm...maybe I could get a commission based job with loads of different food companies...they could pay me in kind. :rotfl:

Ironically, I've been building myself up for the big D (iet) to start next week. I've even got hypnotherapy lined up through a Groupon offer.

I do myself no favours sometimes. :rotfl:

In my experience, the novelty/excitement wears off pretty quickly. I used to have them, but I would end up throwing so many things away that eventually I stopped. Same with my husband; they seemed the ideal solution for snacking at work but he used to end up with piles of them on his desk uneaten! Also, they are not as healthy as you think - check out the calorie content! :eek: (still probably better than chocolate though!)

Despite all the negative things I have just said....your post has made me want them again! I did love those flapjacks...:rotfl:

I was the opposite. I started with one punnet a day then ended up eating all 4 the day they arrived. I cancelled mine

I've just tried the breakfast porridges though and they are divine :mad:

Proper hypnotherapy? As in not a cd? I had that through Groupon too and thought it was well worth it. I had it for diet. I still eat a bit of chocolate but it no longer consumes my every waking moment :eek:

Lol. Yes, 'proper' hypno, no cd.

I have a graze box every two weeks, my son has one on the alternate weeks and I order on every now and again for my daugher at Uni as a treat!

We share them and they are yummy.

They fit through the letter box no problem

Fruit flakes? Yes I get them too!! Try to limit myself to one bag a day!!! :rotfl:

I also started on an o2 freebie ages ago, had them every fortnight but not between me & OH have loads of uneaten boxes that I regularly find in my work desk drawer, under the microwave etc!

Have now managed to make good use of the 'push back deliveries' button so now only get the on the very odd occasion, however I wish I knew who made their dark chocolate buttons... oh how I miss those

If they get samey can't you just go in and bin the stuff you don't want them to send you? or do they just ignore that? I hope not, olives will have me heaving over my desk.

I guess I could have done but I did still liked those particular punnets- I'd have just liked a more varied selection rather than getting the same ones all the time.

I think they do pay attention to the stuff you bin but not so much attention to the stuff you mark as 'love', as I usually only ever got things marked as 'like' or 'try'.

I do wonder whether they entice you with the tasty stuff when you're a new customer and then give you mostly seeds when you've been having deliveries for a while!

Lidls do healthy packs of things like sunflower seeds etc now, just for over £1 a bag.

They're a bit meh.

The flapjacks are nice, the breads were nice - but only got the bread once, and the flapjacks three times - the rest of the boxes were mostly flavoured raisins or variants of bombay mix. The majority was sickly sweet, too - and there weren't many options if you didn't like almonds or raisins with everything.

Better (and cheaper) to buy the stuff you actually like and portion them out.
