Degustabox Review and Giveaway

I don't know about you but I get bored of having the same old foods all the time and I am always on the look out for inspiration for new and different foods/recipes to use and eat.  I was recently contacted by Degustabox, a company that supplies you with a monthly box full of surprise foods, many of which are new to the market!!

I was excited to receive the box, I do love a good surprise!!!

Inside each Degustabox you receive 10 to 15 different items which you pay £12.99, this is less than half the retail value. There is no commitment involved, if you decide that you don't want to receive the Degustabox anymore, you just need to let them know by the 10th of the month and they will cancel your subscription, easy peasy.

What I really liked was that you receive a card with a couple of recipes to try out as well the foods. I'm looking forward to making the soup which they've suggested.

Below is  some of what I received in my Degustabox and a little bit of information about each product : I had used the So Juicy and So Tender sachets before but I hadn't heard of the rest of the products. The picture below shows my 4 favourite products out of the box.

I had used the So Juicy and So Tender sachets before but I hadn't heard of the rest of the products. The picture below shows my 4 favourite products out of the box :

The Jules Destrooper biscuits were like heaven in a box, the girls were lucky that I shared with them!!

I loved the Amy's Kitchen soup, a lovely chunky tomato packed full of flavour, you can find this in the free from section in most supermarkets, I will definitely be stocking up on these.

The Dorsets cereals berry granola was lovely. I liked that it didn't go soggy, it kept its crunch even when covered in milk.

The girls and I all agreed that our favourite products in the Degustabox were the Goody Good Stuff sweeties. I can't believe that they are free from so many ingredients, the tropical fruit ones were the best, you tasted each individual fruit!!.

Overall I was extremely impressed with the Degustabox, it provided me with some scrummy products and has given me some inspiration on what to fill my cupboards up with next month, well worth the money in my opinion.
