grammarwomanI don't know how many of you have heard of Graze, a service that delivers mail-order snacks, or have seen people offering friend codes for them.
I joined whenwolfshark was offering up her code, because I was intrigued by the prospect of rotating, healthy snacks showing up in my mail box every two weeks. With the friend code, I got my first one free, and have paid $6 per box since then. My fifth box will also be free.
When I got my first box, I was surprised; the box itself is pretty small but snazzy. The size is just shy of iPad dimensions (a little shorter in length and width, and a little thicker), and holds four portions, each a different foodstuff individually wrapped and labeled. When you sign up, you can browse their offerings and up- or down-vote food groups and individual offerings (no to cashews, yes to pistachios). You can also choose how often you get a box.
The price feels a little high to me, but I'm cheap and have a tendency to pay less and settle for lower quality. The snacks have been uniformly tasty; I wouldn't rate any of them as less than "good", and some are very, very delicious indeed. The ingredients are mainly combinations of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, small crackers, and various spices and flavorings, so I'm pretty sure they're a lot more natural and better for me than a bag of chips or a candy bar from the vending machine. The portions look small, but they actually conform to what a snack size should be, and not the enormous handfuls I tend to mindlessly chomp, and I find that they satisfy my snack-attack level of hunger.
If I've piqued your interest, let me know, and I can share one of my friend codes with you.
