Pop Up Pantry - When we order our complimentary dinner...are we signing up for a membership?

Yes, it signed me up for the $90/month package. There's a cancel button in the account info.

we're you able to use the gift certificate and cancel without being charged?

 

[Shannon28]

I'm not canceling until my product ships this weeks. I'll update after I do.

If there's another 50 % off code, would someone post here, or PM me? This sounds wonderful. And even if I don't personally like the items, with Christmas coming up, someone I know surely would !

Did anyone's some kind a gorgeous (in benefit cabana kit) smell weird?  Is that how it is supposed to smell?  It smells yucky.

Mine has a off smell but I really love the foundation a lot! I also am excited because my referrals have gotten me some more boxes! This box seriously is amazing!

I got my Pop Up Pantry. Liked the dessert the best out of the 3 things.

Also I cancelled my subscription right after I placed my order. The only thing that happened was I no longer was able to login to the site. So canceling after placing the order does not affect it.

There was no charge on my card /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Which meal did you get? The dessert was the best part of mine too. I picked the pork goulash meal.

Just a warning... watch out for the "best by" dates on the packages.  My friend and I had our's today, cooked it, ate it and hated it.  It was bland, dry, and just pure crap.  All of it was bad and my friend noticed the date when we were throwing it out (it was that bad) and it said "best used by 04/07/2012"  OVER SIX MONTHS EXPIRED.  Will be writing a very angry email tomorrow.

I don't subscribe to PopSugar, but I have been following this thread and was interested in this service. Please keep us updated.

I didn't even think Pop Up Pantry had been around that long.  I read Pink is the New Blog, and David is Trent's boyfriend, I remember when he got it started.  Ah well, my timing may be way off though.

I received my Pop Up Pantry meals yesterday. They all expire around 12/23/2012. They arrived on time - and as described. I will report back on the meals tomorrow - easy dinner tonight! 

 

[prachisrk]

I honestly didnt love the pop up pantry food so much - take out would have been better. the idea is good and their packaging was lovely but the food was so-so. Frozen food from trader joes tastes better

That is really too bad, you guys! Thank you for the warning about the expiration date. I will check, but I think my Halibut will most likely be fresh, since they had to restock right before I ordered. I've never had bad halibut, which is part of my reasoning for ordering that particular dinner. I'll update you guys in a week and a half.

Hey, a couple of people said they ordered the Becky's caramels online. How much is in one of those packages? Because our sample sizes say they are 4oz, and that is the full size of their regular packages. I think they merely re-used the stickers, but how many caramels was in one full sized bag? $10 is a little steep for three caramels.

Mine just arrived and I had the same date on mine! This is just ridiculous!

ugh, how disappointing and frustrating (a lot of your time used up and possible food safety issues). What meals did you get? It was very hard to pick a meal because the pictures all looked good but common sense told me to figure out a meal that might be ok frozen and then defrosted (still couldn't figure out what that would be). Maybe let PopSugar know, so they don't keep promoting the brand. I'll let you know how mine turns out when it arrives next week. How were the serving sizes?
