“There’s too many meals that come with coleslaw. Mixing up for alternative salads or vegetables would make it more likely for us to order over the long term. We throw away so much coleslaw because we’re sick of it.”

“I started doing the healthy re-start which is a little expensive but I wanted to win the prizes not knowing that I had to order the boxes within a short time frame. I didn't know this at the time & was really disapointed. I have now switched to the bargain box that I am enjoying and it is far more cost effective for me.”

“Food choices are always good. Catering to our needs. Sometimes. ( normally once a week) something is wrong. This week. The pork mince in the box wasn't packed with the ice blocks. So it had been sitting out in the warm air and had started to sweat. Greens are often wilted. Although we have been enjoying a warm summer in the south. Lastly. We keep coming back and getting the meals because it is good and easy. We can replace the wilted greens or whatever we need to. But if both of us have been at work for a long day, it is great just to come home and make a something that all the ingredients are there and we follow the recipe 😉 Sometimes.”

“I am mostly happy with my deliveries so far, except the frozen vegetables always arrive defrosted and the Talleys Corn is very chewy. The carrots also do not last the couple of days before use - they always go soft. This does make me at times frustrated when preparing the meal.”

“We enjoy the meals but struggle with some of the steps as we think they aren't explanatory enough, would be easier with step by step with a photo of what it should look like through out. I find the app okay to use with changing meals but I can't figure out how to change our meal choices to low carb as we are finding the meals quite carb heavy and would prefer not to have so many carbs. The meals so far have been delicious though.”

“- Not sure portions are enough for 4 people (esp 2 teenage boys), so I have to pad it out with extra veges or carbs. - It annoys me that I can't choose items I don't want included eg I hate capsicum so I have to go through recipes to work out what it is in. - packaging is much better than it used to be. Love the box in a box idea. - Like not having to think about what's for dinner.”

“Overall Bargain box is good to the busy life style and takes the hassle out of thinking about what you need to cook and get you out of a rut at a more affordable price than some of the other boxes. There is a good selection of meals with some meals that are delicious and surprising, and many others are so so… if not bordering on bland. I’ve never met a taco I didn’t like until now! Currently taking a break while on holiday, and will see if life gets busy again and the need arises for bargain box again. The meat quality has been fantastic, but the vegetable quality has been a bit hit and miss.”

“Thanks for the chance to give feedback. My FoodBag (Bargain Box) is variable and if anything the quality of the meals has gone down a bit in the last few weeks and we are finding it harder to choose meals. The meals are healthy but quantities vary between having plenty and other times just enough. There has been a mismatch between fillings and size of tortillas or slider buns. The packaging hasn't been as carefully done recently- tomatoes were a bit squashedand other packing a bit more haphazard one week (etter last week) and we recently were missing a recipe and then an important incregient (ginger sauce) for two separate recipes. We had low carb potatoes for a house with young adults where we need the carbs and the potato quantity is a bit light. Many of the recipes are very similar (chicken breasts with various sauces) and the salads are increasingly strange - things like cooked broccoli and lettuce together. Putting vinegar on salds makes them taste worse (not a proper vinaigrette). Potatoes almost always need peeling as they are green in places and cucumber skin is bitter (not telegraph cucumbers either) and also needs peeling. You need some information for novice cooks on things like techniques as I didn't know how to grate beetroot . Some of the instructions and timing is overly complicated. The salads get boring and overall we have had mostly the same selection of vegetables for weeks. Some recipes are a bit of a strange fusion- e.g tandoori tacos or pork mince koftas given pork isn't eaten in the Middle East. The deliveries are on time, meat is good quality (though mince a bit solid and hard to break up) but need more of smoked meat options which are small quantities (for recipes with tacos). Sauces are tasty, and spice packets work well and are convenient. Chipotle sour cream too hot for my daughter. Would be helpful to have some way of feeding back on the website apart from giving recipe reviews. We are having my Bargain Box after I have had an operation and can't cook but are finding we are getting bored with the meals. However the meals are very quick to make, and some are great, others not so good. Feed the Team meals work well for us when they look palatable. The two meat options are sometimes worth choosing.”

“Great concept and is very convenient for us as a working couple, however, we’ve been a bit disappointed with some of the recipes. We love Asian food and their Asian sauces/ marinades lack the taste punch Asian dishes usually have. Another downside is that some of the ingredients have spoiled before the BB date so we’ve had to end up binning some ingredients and buying fresh. Hate food waste! One of the reasons we were attracted to My Food Bag was that we would have less food waste. All in all, we have enjoyed receiving the bags and eating some lovely tasty dishes but it’s a bit hit and miss.”

“The recipes are pretty good however sometimes the best before dates put a lot of pressure on the order and dates you must cook the meals. Sometimes even the vegetables are not surviving 3-4 days when we get the 5 night bag which is very disappointing. I like the communication and the app however and the recipes are a good variety.”
