Degustabox JULY

Have you heard of Degustabox?

I didn't, until they contacted me.

But I'm going to get to know them pretty well, I think. They're sending me boxes so I can sample, write, use, cook, eat, share.

The first one was pretty impressive. Most of the products were full-size and the rest were nice single servings and not just tiny samples.

There were some major brands and some less-well-known. Some things to cook with, and some to snack on.

If you can't read 'em all, there was Jif cinnamon peanut butter, Soy Vay teriyaki, Brianna's vinaigrette, Elmhurst Harvest chocolate almond milk, Topo Chico mineral water and sparkling water, Wise popcorn (sea salt and Cinnabon flavored), Honees menthol and honey lozenges, Vita coconut oil, Haribo sour gummy bears, and Orchard Valley nutty snacks.

The company estimates the value of the box at about $30, which seems about right, if you could actually find all of these where you shop. They sell for $19.99, which is a good deal, right? But wait! It gets better.

I've got a coupon for ya. Order a box with the code R7TXK and you'll get 50 percent off, so you'd pay $9.99 for the first box.

I'll have to admit that I haven't tasted everything yet, but I'm working on it. I've used other Soy Vay products in the past and I've liked them a lot, and the Orchard Valley snacks disappeared really quickly; the cashews were my favorite. The Topo Chico mineral water was tasty, and I'm saving the sparkling water for a cocktail later. Jif cinnamon peanut butter was different, for sure. Meanwhile, almond milk is in the fridge, chilling, and the rest of the items are waiting for me to rip them open.

If you like sampling different products, I'm sure you'd have a blast with this. I'm not sure how long I'll be reviewing these, but if the quality stays this high, I should stick with it for a while. I love trying new products in recipes, and this is a risk-free way to do it. And if I get something I don't care for, food is always sooooo easy to give away.

DON'T FORGET THE COUPON! Use R7TXK to get half off your first box!
