To think that "Graze" saw you coming and is in fact owned by Pedlars?

I got a free box today. There is no way on God's earth I would pay £3.50 twice a week to have a measly 20g of dried fruit, 20g of plain nuts, one small flapjack cut into 3 bits, and a tablespoon of bombay mix delivered through the letterbox in masses of packaging. And I am a terrible waster of money on worthless overpriced crap - so who the hell orders this stuff? The same people that buy £350 rusty spanners off Pedlars?

If I wanted that stuff I'd just order it along with the rest of my Ocado order, at a fraction of the cost.

The dried fruit was foul and tasted like mackerel anyway.

Has no one told them there's a blardy recession on?

Oh no, the spanner has gone??? Damn, I had just the right place to display it. Bums.

VivaLeBeaver · 01/04/2011 18:58

I reckon it was someone on here who bought the spanner.

halfbakedcookie · 01/04/2011 18:59

Two grand for a light? What the merry fuck?

NorthernGobshite · 01/04/2011 18:59

I want that light.

VivaLeBeaver · 01/04/2011 19:02

Fuck me, the squirrel light is 130cm high!!!!!!!!

I'm gutted, it's too big to fit on my bookcase. Sad

How do you think it would look on the mantleshelf?

onlion · 01/04/2011 19:05

I MUST have those tea bags

NettoSuperstar · 01/04/2011 19:06

I kept having them for far too long as it was the only place I could get Korean chilli rice crackers. Blush
I love them.
I can buy them from Co Op and Asda now though, and as soon as they started stocking them a couple of years back, I sacked the Graze boxes.

suzikettles · 01/04/2011 19:08

I knew I'd seen that squirrel somewhere before. It's an old sign off a French bank. La Caisse d' Epargne.

I'd love it if the French junk yards saw them coming too and sold it to them for £1999, but I guess it's that sell any old tatt for ££££ and Cordelia & Miles will just lap it up.

FurCoatNoNickname · 01/04/2011 19:08

Shock Shock Hmm Shock @ Pedlars. Holy crap!
Thanks to all for enlightening me

Should have a warning - for lottery winners and numpties only!

Very amused at the squirrel light with "a couple of cracks"!

OrangeBernard · 01/04/2011 19:09

I love graze. Children will try anything that comes out of a graze box

westonsorganic · 01/04/2011 19:11

I was giving myself a bit of hard time today for wasting cash and then I saw the squirrel light...........

mitochondria · 01/04/2011 19:12

Look, the abandoned factory where the spanners came from had some old metal tables in it, too.

But the portions in the Graze box are sooooo tiny - like a mouthful in each section of the box. I thought at least it would be like the equivalent of a small packet in each section. I had no idea how Pedlarsesque it was until the box plopped through the letterbox. And yes, I did deliberately make up a word about pedlars with "arse" in the middle, and juxtapose that with the word "plopped", to emphasis the utter shiteness of both enterprises.

And I seem to have started a Pedlars thread by stealth. Well, about time we had another one anyway.

costs more than my car

upahill · 01/04/2011 19:20

God this peddlars stuff make Graze look like a must have buy and bargain of the year!!!

moondog · 01/04/2011 19:20

I sent my Pedlars catalogue back stil lin plastic with
'PLEASE DO NOT KEEP ON SENDING MY DETAILS OF YOUR OVERPRICED CRAP WHICH IS NEITHER WANTED NOR NEEDED' written on it.

Took me three tries before they got the message, mind.

NettoSuperstar · 01/04/2011 19:20

I read somewhere (on here probably) that Graze boxes are meant to last the week.Shock
I had trouble making mine last past 5 minutes.
They're tiny!

moondog · 01/04/2011 19:22

Yes, wtf?
Are people so slothful that they do this???

upahill · 01/04/2011 19:25

A Graze box loast a week?!!

Is that a joke?

Shallishanti · 01/04/2011 19:28

blimey!
we've GOT that clock, it's actually quite nice...we rather daringly paid £25 for it at our local junk shop a few years ago....I was a bit pissed off because the guy wouldn't plug it in to prove it worked, so we had to risk it.
Looks like we could make a tidy profit Grin

graze=outrageous exploitation of stupid people

paulapantsdown · 01/04/2011 19:37

right at the very beginning graze were doing the boxes for £1 each (this offer lasted bout 2 months) - I used to get one to arrive on a Saturday and the kids would eat it in about 30 seconds flat. It was a good cheap way to get them try new things at the time. But £3 each is just ridiculous.

I think the original business model was for people to order them to arrive at their desks to avoid snacking.

Prefer a Twirl myself.

lololizzy · 01/04/2011 19:41

whoa had not heard of Pedlars and just took a peek! £135 for a vintage style dress! Not actual vintage, but vintage STYLE. Primarkwithlabelcutoutandnewonesewnin?
