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?

Do you think the Pedlars drop eccies look at a clock when it comes to pricing.

"How much for the rainbow floor cushion?"

"What? It's one forty five"

Of course it will be a vintage Mitchelin clock.

Even frickin Liberty are cheaper than Pedlars.

About 10 years ago I got one for about £3 at the local bus museum's autojumble. Now where is it Hmm

Oh I'm glad someone posted about this as I have been considering getting my 'free' box, but don't think i will even bother if it's so crap. From the pictures it looks like a really substantial box

lololizzy · 01/04/2011 20:47

I really, really like that Squirrel light....

The Pedlars links always make me want to ransack my dad's sheds and workshops-do you think they'd take me on as a supplier? We've got decades of rusty industrial and agricultural crap to flog them.I'd even let them label the stuff 'sourced
from an old family farm' if they asked me nicely.Grin

Every time I go to an auction or farm sale I see stuff that Pedlars would wet their collective pants with excitement at-the last item I saw was a collection of nun's chamberpots,which surprisingly,failed to sell.Pedlars would just love those.

Rumples, how is it helping you to lose weight?

It's foodConfused

moondog · 01/04/2011 21:34

at nuns' chamberpots.

Yes yes re losing weight.
Oily nuts and sugary dried fruit?
I don't think thry will help The Cause.

Yeah but you could get 100 times the amount for less £££ and just eat healthy servings of it.

Or better still, bag it up into portions and give it to a friend, get her to stick one through your letterbox every day.

My graze box is the highlight of my week Blush. I don't go out or smoke so a £3 box of random nibbles is rather fun.

I used to have a life.

MaisyMooCow · 01/04/2011 22:35

WTF? Do people really buy this stuff ?!

JojoLapin · 01/04/2011 23:43

I used to like Pedlars 5 years or so but they have become totally ridiculous: Such pretentious tat. The squirrel used to be the logo of a bank in France in the 80s... Maybe I should try and sell an old Midland Bank logo in France for £5k and pass it on as a vintage gem.
