Does anyone use graze.com?

I'm sure there was a thread on this the other day - it looks like a great idea. Is there a catch?

    Ive just signed up for it and should be receiving my first box today (cant get stuff delivered to work so it will be at home waiting for me tonight)

    I got it on the first box free, second half price offer

    it does sound too good to be true though, Im not sure how many Ill get at full price though (£2.99) as it seems a bit pricey but will see how I get on

    Looks like a nice idea but quite expensive for a box of grapes and dried apricots (or whatever you pick)

    also - not sure how reliable the first class post thing would be

    I was drooling over this the other day, and decided that if i a) had a job and b) lived in england, I would treat myself to one or two a week, maybe on days where making lunch was too much of an effort - say Mondays, and days where the week starts to drag - wednesday/thursday perhaps, and if i made my lunch on other days then £6 a week wasn't too bad...

    Given that I am unemployed and in Switzerland it will remain but a dream...

    Looks like a great idea, but I am sure I will be starving ?

    I rarely get my 5 a day, so would be good for me to try it at least 3 times a week. I work all over the place though, rarely at the same site for more than a few days. I couls have it sent to my home and eat it for dinner?

    I had these on a regular basis for uni. i only recently stopped due to costs.

    you could pick and choose what you didnt like or want and you got a good selection and variety of the things that you did like.

    the postage was pretty much spot on only missed in the snow and then only for one day.

    great company, organic and always changing packaging to make it more enviromentally friendly.

    I had them for a few weeks, its a good idea, not sure the contents are worth the money. Saying that, if I were working and could afford it I probably would have a box once a week. My favourite thing that I got was strawberries and cream, dried strawberries with white chocolate discs, it was lovely. I think that there is a first box free through their website, apparently its owned by the people who own Love film.

    I ordered two boxes since seeing it on here last week. I got my first one on Saturday (free). Inside there were grapes, dried cherries and a nut mix. My second arrived today (half price), it contained fresh pinapple, chilli nut mix and chilli seeds. The first one I loved, but the second I was not that keen on. I thought sending both chilli nuts and chilli seeds was a bit rubbish (not if you like that kind of thing I suppose). I did notice something on their site earlier though that you can let them know what you're willing to try, what you love/hate etc. Must remember to tick dislike of chilli nuts/seeds I think.

    Not sure how long I'll keep up 2 a week for but I'll give it a go for a bit longer.

    They sent me an email earlier with a code for first free, secong half price for friends that said I'd get money off per frinds order so if my friends give it a go I might use it for longer.

    Forgot to say, I can't see a catch to it. It looks like it would be pretty easy to stop getting them.

    Oh dear, why did I open this thread. I'm trying to save money not spend more!

    Grumple - I've already rated some things I do and don't like so I'll see what happens!

    I know it is quite a lot of money for what it is, but I'm so rubbish at getting round to taking enticing fruit and snacks to work that it might be worth it.

    That is true hazel - even at home i find i grab a bit of bread or biscuit rather than slice up some fruit

    maybe i should try it and not be so curmudgeonly - i really shocked myself badly today when i thought how long it is since i did my 5 a day

    I've just ordered one after seeing this - looks like a great idea and lots of yummy things although I suppose it will add up a bit. Wonder if it will actually fill me up too...first one arriving on Tuesday...quite excited about it!

    Those who have already had them - if I got it sent to my home to have the following day at work, would that be ok or will the fresh fruit be all manky by then? Just not sure work will be thrilled with me getting a regular delivery.

    I signed up last week and have got a few mates to sign up. They're ok but nothing special, I suppose it depends what size box you order! My 3 rd box arrives tomorrow and I am due to receive;

    Fresh ornage and grapefruit, american nut mix and some dried pineapple (yuck!).

    That's really strange - never heard of them till today when I saw a box on a colleagues desk and now there's a thread about it!

    I got a voucher from said colleague - £1 for your first box. It looks good so may try it out.

    Looks good though - I'm bad at nibbling chocs etc that go round the office.

    Pigalicious - dried pineapple is surprisingly delicious, as is dried mango!

    I signed up a few days ago, with the code posted on here last week. I'm more interested in the nuts than anything else ? - we eat a lot of fruit already.
