My First ever Graze box

I am not all that keen on spending a lot of money whilst I'm at work.  The temptation of being in a big town draws me to the shops and I end up buying things I don't need.  I try to restrict myself to the Charity Shops, the cake shop and the Curry stall, but unless there is something that we genuinely really need that's where I try to draw the line.  The only problem is that I'm a shameless glutton and I am terrible at making sandwiches!  I make them for That Baby to take for her packed lunch, but I just find them dull and unappetising.  I have to be clever if I'm going to avoid venturing out for lunch so I thought I'd try out something a bit healthy to go together with Cake Wednesday.  This week I took delivery of my first ever Graze Box.  Graze are a London-based company apparently started up by seven friends.  They deliver carefully chosen, healthy snacks in a neat little box through your letter box.  Their online site allows you to rate their snacks so your boxes are tailor made for you and only contain things that you'll enjoy nibbling.  Brilliant!  I love a friendly, personable company and they really are.  Quirky too.

I wanted to make sure I could take my box to work with me so I ordered it to arrive a day early.  I didn't want to have to wait for the postman, he's an unpredictable chap!  Rather handily everything is neatly packaged up in a very good looking cardboard box that is just the right size to fit through a letter box.   They're jolly clever really because they also ensure that nothing within the box needs to be refrigerated.  Sensible.  My first box was free, I'd been sent a voucher code by a friend.   You can cancel at any time so I thought I might as well give my freebie a go.  My box contained four plastic pots.  Inside were a honeycomb flapjack, black pepper pistachios, a selection of nibbly little breadsticks and a pot of dried fruit.  Now, I am not usually a big fan a dried fruit, but this was delicious!  Dried pineapple, so yummy, I'd no idea!  In fact it was all good.  My particular favourite from this box was the "British Barbecue" selection, with basil baguettes, rosemary crostini and smoked almonds and seeds, I hoovered them up!

It was so good in fact that I have decided to order more, and actually even pay for them!  If you're in the UK and would like to give a Graze box a go give me a shout and I'll give you a code for a free box :)

Over and out!
