    Nice little marketing ploy.
    It could be good value, but going by dlusman's post it's not.

  • Genuinely disappointed by the contents of this box.

    Assuming the headlines that are reporting that they'll feed a family for a week don't know the quantity of what's being offered of each product in each box?

    Thought this could have been something to really get behind :(

    The average family doesn't each much produce.

    As I'm on a weight management group, I eat loads of produce as I can eat unlimited quantities. I had comments from cashiers and customers saying how many I am feeding. Just myself.

    And that is supposed to feed a family of FOUR for a WEEK? :eek:

    I get through more veg than that just for myself most weeks!

    Definately not family sized.
  • Really disappointed in this honestly. From the media it sounded great as well...

    Well looking at that picture it is not worth the effort, unless you like onion soup for 3 days on the trot.

    Take away the onions and potatoes, the heavy items, you don't get much.

    Yup! Plus curry, making stock, soups, cheese & onion toasties, onion gravy for sausages n mash etc. I use loads of onions!

    Potatoes: mash, shepherds pie, chips (Actifry), roast spuds, potato & leek soup plus add a small potato to most soups as a thickener.

    What were you expecting? Sydney Opera House? Wildebeast steaks?

    Right lot of miserable gits. (Like I can cast stones.)
