Bargain box is great
Bargain box is great.
A lot of variety and easy to follow recipes.
Great value for money.
There are added freebies every now and then which are a lovely surprise.
There are a couple of let downs though, firstly, chicken can be substituted for fish but the other meats can't be substituted.
Secondly there are a lot of tomato based dishes which can get a bit repetitive.

Hey Irie, thanks for sending through your positive words about Bargain Box. We're glad to hear that you've been enjoying the meals and freebies that we've offered you. But sorry about the repetition of some of the ingredients. We've passed this as valuable feedback to our chefs! - Bargain Box Buddies
fresh and quality ingredients
fresh and quality ingredients, quick and easy cooking but could do with a few more kiwi inspired recipes rather than 4/5 meals being cultural.
