More noticing:  The site states that they roll out new items each week.  I wasn't too thrilled with the options (between avoiding certain things because they're migraine triggers and just not liking other things, I'm a very finicky eater), so there wasn't really anything that grabbed me even when considering the sold out items.  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that next week's menu is more appealing to my picky palate!

Migrane triggers, I did not know about it. What items did you notice from this category, I should research internet.

I went ahead and ordered the Moroccan lamb. Otherwise I will forget about it. I figured it sounds interesting;-) Good food is always good food, I told myself, whats not to like  - it is a great box, amazing amazing deals, I can handle if theres only one choice of dinner, lol.

Ladies, who ordered something different - lets discuss our experience after we have these amazing dinners, shall we;-)) may be with pictures - this box is a gift that keeps on giving!

Ya I was worried it would all be gone for the month so I settled for the moroccan lamb as well not sure how often it comes in and out and when the deal is over! But I'm sure the meals will be awesome! I sent mine to my parents because I only have a po box!

Everyone I got this notice for popuppantry if you have not yet used your code! Menu Availability Update Due to overwhelming demand, many items are currently sold out. Don't worry: our chefs are working quickly to get your favorites back in stock. Please check back this weekend when we'll have more menus available to add to your pantry. Thanks so much for your patience!

Ladies can you say I am in love with the benefit makeup kit! If you wanna see the colors on the skin I just loaded a video click my siggy below! The foundation really blew my mind how it adapted to my fair skin ! Love anyone else try it out yet!?

wore the scarf and posie tint (from benefit) last night. love.  this really was a great box. the only thing blah to me was the Tracie Martyn (out of my price range) and the popsugar bag.  VERY impressed with Popsugar for September.

So I really wanted to cancel this sub but after seeing the contents I was super down to get it. They emailed me on the 24th saying if I updated my billing info within 14 days (of the 24th), they'd send me a September box as soon as the info was processed. I updated it on the 3rd and emailed them to confirm I'd be getting a box and they said:

"we are no longer able to process September billing. Because of this we are unable to ship you a September Must Have box."

When I asked why they keep flip-flopping on their customers ('up to $150 in value' to 'up to a $100 in value'; from 'POPSUGAR Must Have Bag' to 'POPSUGAR Must Have Box'; and now this), she corrected herself in the next email and said this: 

"However, we do not have any September Must Have boxes that we are able to ship to you."

I'm so pissed. Their CS blatantly lied to me... Did they just give out the rest of the boxes they had to whoever the F they wanted or did they not have a box for me to begin with?? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I FINALLY got my box today.  Even though I knew everything that was in it, I ran from the mailbox to the house to open it!!

I just ordered the halibut from Pop-up Pantry. It will be delivered on the 19th, sometime before 7:30pm. I hope it's good.

The PUP availability has been refreshed!  There are now about seven things sold out, but there are about a dozen things available.  They're still the same things that were available last week, though.  No new/different items.

(Oh, and someone asked about migraine triggers in this stuff.  Mine are strange and varied, and they're usually not a problem for anyone else.  Over the past few years, cilantro -- which is in pretty much all Mexican foods, especially salsa -- has started causing problems, for example.  And when I was a wee totlet, I would have migraines at least once a month, and even if the foods themselves don't trigger migraines, certain things -- like peas and blueberries -- still make me queasy because I ate them on a day when I ended up with a nightmarish migraine.  And then there are other things that aren't migraine triggers or things that I associate with migraines but that I still can't eat for various reasons, like beef.)

(And I have to say that the sold-out-ness of the October box makes me very, *very* glad that I joined up at the beginning of this sub and didn't wait a few months to see what the boxes looked like!  Now I just want to see what the next couple of boxes look like.  I'm seriously wondering how they're going to follow up September to keep all of their new subscribers on board.)

Yes, one for each meal.

I don't expect the October box to knock my socks off, but I've liked every box so far. So, I think I'll like it too. I'm just saying, September and the scarf is a hard act to follow. But the way they ran out of the October box so fast, makes me wonder if there is something in it, that has a very limited availability.

Nah, I think there were just a whole lot of unsubscribed people who saw the September box and jumped on board as soon as the box contents started getting around.  I know of at least four people who signed up after I showed them my list o' goodies who did not sign up after I showed them previous boxes.  I think the next three months will be their most challenging months so far.

Hmm that's interesting to think about. If this is the case, I wonder what it might be? I really hope they keep up the value, variety, and overall quality that September box had - crossing my fingers!

Congrats! I just clicked on your blog and you do a good job of placing everything pretty in the box for picture taking. I hope they give you guys something for helping them promote their product! (I know you don't get the boxes for promotional consideration but this is similar to how we all know they give free boxes for referrals because it helps them spread the word).
