Whats in your veg box ?

[madmarchhare]

and how much do you pay?

Ha, guess its more of a daytime question, or is it just boring?

Very at you growing your own.

I also need to know if you end up with a load of old crap (in the veg boxes that is) you dont want or does it inspire you to cook different things?

We eat far more veg and have a more varied fruit diet by getting a box delivered.

Not necessarily because we don't like the things we get but because it sometimes wouldn't occur to me to buy them IYKWIM. Beetroot for example, spinach too.

I get Riverford and have started buying their own milk too (freezing half of it for use later in the week). That way I don't go into the supermarket every other day for milk (we get through a lot!) and end up spending £20 on other things.

A medium veg box and a fruit box is £19. My order is usually £30-£35 for that plus extra bananas, milk for the week, eggs and cream.

The quality is excellent too.

If you get anything from Riverford that you don't know how to cook, you only have to go to the website and type in the vegetable in the search and you get a list of recipes to cook with that vegetable. The prices are all on the website and you can see what you will get in each box before you order. This website is great for recipe's too. VegboxDiary

we have abel and cole and have the medium mixed box. It is 14.80 a week and we get 7 veg including potatoes, and 3 fruit. The only gripe that I have is that the potatoes are only enough for one meal, whilst the veg is easily 2 or 3 good meals for me and dh and dd

Thanks KIL, I was wondering exactly what I might do with the 'not your every day' kind of stuff.
