Veggie boxes

I've had a few. Three were local organic farms. Then, when the last one stopped delivering to my area, I used Riverford for a while. At the moment, I'm just popping to the local greengrocer as and when.

I've used a local company called Vegbocs (https://www.vegbocs.com) for 6 months now. Never going back to supermarket veg!

Sometimes I get a small box from Ocado with my delivery, depending on contents, because I get 10% off with a Smartpass.

I buy more exotic organic fruit & veg from Abel & Cole, (but not as a box) and everyday stuff from Sainsbury's or Ocado - I check the offers.

Lidl, ASDA, Morrisons and Aldi locally do have some organic stuff but not enough for me to be able to shop there every week.

Despite having a Tesco Extra here and another close to my mother, I find that they don't have much organic veg either.

Sainsbury's seems to have really increased their range of organic food and Waitrose has quite a bit as well.

There's only the two of us, so a veg box might be more economical for families ?

I would recommend Abel & Cole, Riverford and Ocado veg and of the other supermarkets I think ASDA does really good quality for the price.

I've started using 5 a day (on the recommendation of a poster on a different thread) - I highly recommend them as, if you order the large box, you get loads - one big banana box and a second, slightly smaller box, with 20 different fruit and veggies. There are three of us and I use a lot of veggies but a large box lasts two weeks for veggies and a little less for fruit.

Another plus is that I visit the supermarket a lot less so I'm not only saving money on fruit and veg, I've reduced the amount I spend on impluse buys.
