Degustabox | February 2021

I was sent a Degustabox for the purpose of review. All thoughts and opinions are our own.

Don’t forget you can get your first box for just £9.99 including shipping with the code WDGX9 which gets you a £3 discount on the £12.99 price! Buy it here.

The theme of this month’s box is Home Comforts. So what did we think of the contents this month?

Eloments Vitamin Tea Ceylon Breakfast – £3.99

This is a full bodied, single origin black tea sourced from organic, family owned farms in the Sri Lankan highlands. Unfortunately, none of our household is a fan of black tea so we’ve passed this on to people who will appreciate it more.

Milkybar Cookies & Cream sharing bag – £1.59

These were never going to last long in my house! These are creamy, crunchy and delicious and we will definitely be buying these again!

Belvita Soft Bakes Blueberry & Belvita Soft Bakes Chocolate – 60p each

We love Belvita but we don’t buy them very often as we just aren’t big breakfast fans. These are super delicious and are made from 5 wholegrains. These are a source of fibre, calcium, magnesium and iron – we will definitely get these again!

Knorr Vegetable Stock Pot and Knorr Beef Stock Pot – 95p each

Who doesn’t have a stash of stock pots in their cupboard? We always have a lot of Knorr stock pots and we use them regularly. I was very happy to see these included.

Very Lazy Chopped Red Chillies – £1.50

We always have a selection of Very Lazy products in the house and use them often so this was a very helpful addition to the box! Very happy to see these.

Jaffa Cakes Passionfruit & Jaffa Cakes Cherry – £1.20 each

These are the product of the month and are new to the Jaffa Cakes range! A twist on the original flavour, these are super delicious and we really enjoyed these! We will definitely be buying both of these flavours in the future but cherry was our favourite out of the two.

Hilltop Blossom Honey – 75p each

With nothing added or taken away, these are simply pure honey. We love honey in our house so we were happy to see these! Who doesn’t love honey?

Lost The Pot Noodle Roasted Chicken and Sweet Chilli – 80p each

These come in three delicious flavours and are low in saturated fat! A great lunch option without the plastic pot we are so used to seeing!

Hartley’s Strawberry Jam – £1.59

We go through jam like nobody’s business and often pick up a jar of Hartley’s. It is great on toast, scones, teacakes and a variety of other things and it tastes great. It won’t last long in our house!

Boka Caramel Cereal Bar and Choco Mallow Bar – 75p each

Full of flavour but low in sugar, they are also low in fat and salts and make a great snack for all members of the family. I was very impressed by these!

Bounce Almond Plant Protein Ball – £1.69

Bounce are the number one energy ball brand and this is from their brand new range. It is high in fibre, high in protein, gluten free, vegan friendly and contains less than 160 calories per ball. I don’t tend to eat these but Steve takes them when he goes to golf so he’s saving this for when the golf courses reopen.

Koko Original Milk – £1.50

This is dairy and soya free and a great milk alternative! I don’t tend to use stuff like this so we passed it along to Steve’s brother who has already used it all and loved it!

Overall, I was really happy with this box. There were some lovely treats and also some of our very own store cupboard staples such as jam, honey, stock pots and the Very Lazy item! The box products come in at over £18 so you are making a good saving and getting to try some new products!

    I don’t know how I feel about different flavoured jaffa cakes, I may have to give them a go. We use the lazy garlic a lot, but the chillis look good if you use them a lot x

  2. This looks like such a great box this month. I can’t wait to try the noodles out

  3. You had me at the milky buttons cookies and cream! They sound epic, the girls would love them too.

  4. It’s great to see more allergy free products slowly being catered for in Degusta; tempted to start signing up!

  5. That’s a great box, I think we’d use everything in there this month. I keep wondering about giving this a go. Mich x

  6. It seems like a great selection and stuff we would actually use too. I’m always put off by boxes that are full of things we would never use.
