I'm still waiting on my first box - it shipped last week, so I'm hoping it will show up in the next few days!

My first box has:

  • orange & ginger flapjack
  • chocolate orange granola
  • jaffa cake
  • cheddar gorge

They just charged for my second box and its supposed to have:

  • honeycomb flapjack (SOOO EXCITED FOR THIS!)
  • pomodoro rustichella
  • garden of england
  • natural vanilla seeds

i can't wait for them to arrive! i trashed a lot of the savory and spicy stuff when i signed up since I rarely enjoy those kinds of flavors, so my boxes will tend towards the sweet side.

 
i wonder how long it will be before they open up more spots to the public. im dying for weekly snacks in my mailbox!

 
So apparently I have trashed too many items and if I keep trashing them, they won't have enough snacks to send me and they will notify and refund me. I have about 20 untried snacks, that's not counting the ones I like or love. I think it's pretty silly that they can't just keep sending me a box of repeats. If I trash items it's for a reason. I could see if I literally had 1-3 snacks that weren't trashed and that's it. Oh well, it'll save me money I guess

They don't make every snack every week. So, they might not make 4 of your untrashed snacks in one week.

I'm finally getting my dream all savory box! I know I possibly could have made it happen by trashing all of the sweet snacks, but I do enjoy those also.
 
MMM...I just love my Graze boxes! I like how every box has something I don't mind 'donating' to the BF, so he can join in a *little* of the fun LOL (his will be the veggie sushi plate this week). So far this is my 12th box, and by leaving everything on Try or Trash, I have received 7 repeats out of 48 items.

I seem to be getting my boxes on a normal schedule. I'm billed on Friday, and for the last couple of weeks my boxes have arrived the Thursday after I'm billed. Keep up the good work, Graze. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What shipping method are they using? I want to keep an eye out if its USPS, since my mailman seems to like to toss packages next to the mailbox at the end of the driveway (and then they end up in the rain drainage ditch...) rather than bringing them to the porch lately. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine came via royal mail/usps.

They use USPS. I think the Graze box would actually fit in your mailbox, though, so no tossing would be involved.

Here's hoping!

 
I was kinda missing Graze, so I decided to sign back up for the every other week plan.



I find it weird/annoying, in preferences I selected that I wanted more snacks that I rated "like" or "love" but they seem to consistently give me at least two from my "try" list.  I can't quite figure out how their algorithm must be working to do that.  Half of every box being from the ones I rated "try" doesn't seem to fit my "I'd like to receive more snacks that I said I 'like' or 'love"" preference selection. 

ETA: Unless it takes into account the number of different snacks in each category, so I'm getting more "try" foods because I have more that I rated try?  I used it as somewhat of a catch-all for the foods that I didn't think I'd dislike but that I wasn't particularly excited about.  Maybe I should be quicker about just trashing the ones that don't make my mouth water just looking at the picture.  I could always untrash them later.

Do you have a lot of snacks listed as like or love? They don't make every snack every week. If you're getting a lot of trys despite asking for mostly like/love, it might just be that you don't have enough like/love snacks to fill a box for that particular week depending on what the kitchens are making.

 
My first graze box arrived today!



  • Orange and Ginger Flapjack
  • Jaffa Cake
  • Cheddar Gorge
  • Chocolate Orange Granola

I'm TRYING to not eat it all right away. I did open Jaffa Cake and boy is it good. The orange-infused raisins in particular, and I'm not usually a raisin fan at all. They give everything in the package a really delicious orange flavor. I could honestly eat a whole bag of the orange raisins alone. There were only 4 chocolate pieces, but the whole thing is CRAZY sweet so its actually perfect. And I say that as someone with a ridiculous sweet tooth. I could only eat half, I'm saving the rest for later. Really filling and definitely scratches the chocolate/sweet tooth itch. I'm putting this on like. Its good, but REALLY sweet and something I think i'll save for when my sweet tooth cravings are calling.

 
So, more graze box #1 reviews! I just had the orange and ginger flapjack for breakfast. I didn't expect to really LOVE love it since sometimes ginger flavors are a hit or miss, but this was INSANELY delicious. I figured it would be just a normal granola bar, but its really soft and chewy, like a homemade bar. The orange isn't overpowering and the ginger flavor gives it just a little spice.

Definitely a love, i'd buy these bars in bulk tbh. i have the chocolate-honeycomb version coming in next week's box and i am sooooo excited. I want more!

These are so simple to make! Here is a recipe: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2010/03/british_flapjacks These would just need some orange zest and either ground or grated ginger, depending on your preference.
