Degustabox | July

Here I am with my latest Degustabox review. I love receiving these every month as there is always such a variety. Sure, maybe not everything will be to everyones tastes but there is normally a little something for everyone! What did I receive this month?

 Packaged as perfectly as ever!

Degustabox have now started doing alcohol free boxes so if you don’t drink alcohol, you won’t get some in your box – its that simple! I was sent the drinks from both boxes to give my thoughts on.

The Hibiscus & Cranberry Red Tea from The Berry Company is certainly an acquired taste but it wasn’t unpleasant. I am not too sure how to describe it but it is definitely worth a try! £1.49 each, available from Waitrose, Holland & Barrett, Wholefoods and Ocado.com

I am yet to try the Hornsby’s Apple Cider With Blueberry flavour although Steve guzzled his down the other night, being a big blueberry fan. He said the blueberry flavour wasn’t as strong as he expected it to be but it was nice nonetheless. £1.25 each

The Zeo drinks are something I have been seeing everywhere recently – even my local pub has started selling them! We were sent one of each flavour – peach and grapefruit burst, citrus crush and lime zest. I tried the first two and found them okay, although nothing special. Steve normally HATES lime but tried the lime and some of the others and said the lime was the best and actually quite tasty. So there you go! £1.29 each or £4.29 for a pack of 4

It was nice to see Dr Oetker included again as we are always looking to add more items to the baking cupboard. We were sent the Eton Mess and the Violet Crystals and whilst we haven’t used them yet, they are bound to get used soon! Eton Mess £1.99, Violet Crystals £1.29

When it comes to dark chocolate, I have to be really in the mood for it and I have to admit lemon flavours in chocolate are not usually my cup of tea. This was okay though – was nice to graze on throughout the day. £2.29


The FRANK bar is something I originally gave to Steve owing to the blueberry flavour but he tried it and hated it so gave the rest to me. I actually thought it was pretty nice and something I would pick up myself. I would definitely be willing to try the other flavours (strawberry, orange, oat, double chocolate). These are free from gluten, dairy and nuts too plus suitable for vegans – what’s not to love? 85p each


The thing I was most excited for in the box was the Portlebay Popcorn and we were sent three flavours; Kracklecorn, Chilli & Lime and Crispy Bacon & Maple Syrup. We haven’t tried these yet, would you believe – but from what others have said, I am in for a treat! 79p per pack


Finally, the Maggi sachets. I love Maggi sachets – they make some meals so easy! We always have a handful of these in the cupboard so seeing a whole pile made me smile – we received Cheesy Chicken & Leek Potato Bake, Piri Piri Chicken, Beef & Ale Casserole and & Oriental Soy & Garlic for Chicken. We have tried a couple of these flavours before and have been impressed so are looking forward to trying more in the range! RRP for all 6 sachets in box: £5.54 

The Degustabox is normally priced at £12.99 delivery inclusive but you can get yours for just £9.99 with this code: 1CFN0. Altogether, my alcohol free box came to £19.69 which is great since the box retails at £12.99 including delivery – way more than your moneys worth! The alcohol box comes to £20.70 which is also a great retail value! I would definitely recommend picking up a Degustabox, even if you go in with other members of your family – there is bound to be something you will love in there!

Be sure to check Degustabox out on their websiteFacebook and Twitter. What do you think would be your favourite item from the box above?
