My thrifty ways do sometimes come to good use. This month, they were utilised to nab 4 free health-food boxes from Graze, the company that sends a box of 4 mini-packaged nibbles right to your doorstep (without even the need to open the door to the postman - because I know you must hate it as much as I do - as the boxes fit just perfectly through the letterbox).
At £3.79 a box, they are slightly over-priced in my (not so) humble opinion. However, I love the company's mission - i.e. to get the nation eating snacks that are healthy and nutritious, as opposed to crisps, sugar-loaded cereal bars and all of the junk along those lines. I'm all for that healthy snacking shit.
Which is why I propose the mission for people to start doing exactly what Graze does, just the cheaper way (it's not my intention to run them out of business or anything, honest!) - buying seeds, nuts, and whatever else you can find in Holland and Barratts (or wherever else you like to buy your health foods - and I sure hope that's not Poundland, btw), buying a set of miniature plastic food containers to fill up and take with you to work/out-and-about/wherever else you go gallivanting on your daily adventures. Makes sense, non?
A few faves that Graze have sent include 'Rock the Caspah' - a glorious mix of chopped dates, pumpkin seeds and walnuts, plus 'keen bean' - a savoury concoction of redskin peanuts, edamame beans and chilli broad beans. Amazing stuff. I love how they send all of the nutritional information within the little Graze note, too! Such great packaging and design: Graze, if I could afford you, I would have you every week :(. Alas, I'll have to make do with the freebies for the time-being.
Do you get Graze boxes? What have been your favourite snack-packs? The last of my 4 free boxes comes tomorrow - and I can't wait to see what's inside! Is that sad? Thought so.
