I did the same and quite frankly I'm getting quite bored.  I may discontinue unless they introduce some new products soon.

First box:

Garden of England

Honeycomb Crunch

El Picante

Fruit and See Flapjack

I blogged about it here if anyone's curious.

That's exactly what I did.  Starting to get bored.  I want to support them but....  wish they'd hurry up and add the olives, popcorn and sweets!

I hope they add those too.... yumm

I don't know where you are located, but here in the bay area we have a really large japanese population, and the japanese grocery stores have literally hundreds of different japanese snacks, the majority of which are soem kind of rice cracker. 

I believe Daiso is a more national brand of Japanese store, so check if you have one near you.

I came home from a week out of town to find 3 boxes waiting for me! I labeled the bottom of each snack with its expiration date and stacked them in the pantry. At least I don't need to buy snacks for a couple of weeks!

So I guess  there is a lot of truth in 'ask and you shall receive'... I was desperate to get an invite to this sub and now feel like I have been waiting for years for my first box to come.  It was 'in the mail' over a week ago, and now they are claiming m second box is in the mail too.  I know they warn this can happen and are upfront on it but I didn't realize how  annoying it would be.

for what its worth, once my started coming they came very regularly. Granted I usually got my "in the mail box" after the next box was in the mail, but they did come.

I finally received my 4th box that was shipped on the 1st! The box was a little beat up from its travels, but all the snacks are intact. This is the first time I have received a snack that was close to the best by date, the fruit and seed flapjacks have a best by date of today 3/19, so those will be my snack for later. My Chocolate Orange Granola is melty, and the yogurt covered seeds in my Pear Tatin are on the verge of melt status, but I'm accepting this as normal for my boxes. Plus this box sat in the metal mailbox in 80+ degree heat for about 4 hours, so that's bound to happen. I just throw them in the fridge to harden and they are still delicious as a chunk. I like my chocolate cold anyway /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm currently expecting my 6th box, with no repeats yet (I leave everything on either trash or try), and I've been really enjoying this subscription!

I know huh? I'm 'new' here, moved here from Nashville almost 3 years ago. I was in Middle TN and Atlanta GA all my life....so this heat is still new to me. Plus the year after I moved here, we had the record breaking 100 days over 100 degrees...yeeehawwww! LOL oh my god that was miserable.

I designate one snack per box to give to the BF, he's getting the Nacho Libre lol

Yeah Austin! I went to the Austin St Patrick's Day Festival over on Mopac on Sunday, it was fun!

Box number 6 has arrived...it's been cooler here, so nothing melted!



And box 7 has posted...

hot cross yum

boston baguettes

orange and ginger flapjack

bounty hunter

Hot Cross Yum is my only repeat in 7 boxes (glad to get it again!), and it's the only thing I have marked as 'Like'. Everything else is marked 'Try' or 'Trash', and my preference is set to 'more tries'. 

 

[IffB]

I love the snacks, but I canceled the subscription after not receiving a box again last week...I just can't have my cc charged every week for merchandise I do not receive.

The warmer weather is also a concern (although we had flurries in Atlanta this morning!).  If these boxes are produced in the UK,  they do not normally add paraffin wax to their chocolates, an addition that helps the chocolate remain firm on warmer temperatures. That is why the "buttons" are so delicious and melt on your mouth.  I cannot imagine they surviving our summer heat, and most of my favorites have chocolate in the mix.  

 

[teastrong]

My 7th box is due to arrive this week with my first repeat, the apple cinnamon flapjacks. I'm actually pleased to receive repeats so I will stop tearing into every snack the minute the box arrives to try each item. With repeat items that I know I like I can treat these boxes like they were intended, as portioned snacks and not eat the entire box in one sitting. 

 

[randomlyreviews]

Box #8 arrived - 2nd Nibblebox for me - and I loved the Hickory Smoked Nuts & Seeds and the Jaffa Cake (loved those orange flavored raisins + the dark chocolate):

 

[o0jeany0o]

I've decided to cancel, the snacks were great but I think I could spend $5 on more snacks than I received. I've had a good 6 box run. Getting a box every 2 weeks instead of every week, made me realize I really didn't miss the snacks when I wasn't getting them. I just forgot about it until my next box came.

I've been canceled for quite a while and this is how I feel. I just don't miss the snacks. I prefer things like veggies and hummus anyway.

 

[krickets]

I am gonna wait a few more weeks before I decide to cancel. I have gotten 4 boxes so far. I find that I am becoming more selective about things I decide to keep as try/like/love. I was much easier to please on box 1 than I was on box 4! My favorite things so far have been:

Marvelous Macaroon

Hot Cross Yum

Banoffee Pie

and the Flapjacks

I didn't like the Cranberry and Honey Nut Granola at all, which I got this week and that was a disappointment because I was looking forward to it. I ended up having to put it in milk at eat it like cereal in order to enjoy it. But I still have high hopes for the orange granola which I have yet to try. I think I am going to keep my list of non-trashed items really short once I've tried a few more things that way I know I'll love what I get. If not I might just cancel as well.
