Edited to Add: Goodies Co. has discontinued their subscription service.
My July Goodies Co. box came on the early side this month. I’ve been so busy with all my other boxes that I didn’t even have a chance to do any scouting of it either!
Goodies Co. shipped in a smaller than normal box this month, but still used their normal FedEx Smart Post. It was actually quite speedy this month and arrived a few days before it was scheduled to per the online tracking.
I wasn’t overly excited by the first look, but I didn’t think anything looked gross either. While I wasn’t disappointed, I wasn’t ready to tear into the box and try everything either.
It appears that Goodies knows people are going to be asking about the smaller box, so they went ahead and explained that when they have smaller treats, they’ll send smaller boxes. But they still will also use the big box when necessary. Using the smaller boxes when appropriate will allow them to continue to reduce waste, which I don’t see how anyone could complain about. Here is what my box (Tasters Box #3) included:
~Orange Mango FruitWater: L loves this stuff (and I will admit it’s quite tasty), so I am saving this for him. He thinks all bubbly / sparkling drinks are “soda”. I have no idea who would have told him this (wink, wink), but I’m going with it for as long as it lasts.
~Cherry Lovers by Gimbal’s: I didn’t expect to like these as much as I did. They are cherry jelly bean like, but aren’t exactly the same. I probably wouldn’t seek this out on my own just to snack on, but I wouldn’t mind finding some around Valentine’s Day goody bags either.
~Cinnamon Crunch by Cosmo Creations: I’ve tried the Salted Caramel flavor and really enjoyed it, but since I like to try new stuff I was happy to see that I got a different flavor this time. It’s not as good as Salted Caramel, but it’s still good.
~Jalapeño and Sea Salt Chips by Sugar Foods: These are quite tasty and I wouldn’t be sad is someone came over with a big bag of these and some homemade guacamole. Just saying.
~Grain Crisps Original by Crunchmaster: I haven’t eaten this specific bag of crackers yet, but I have had these before (KLUTCHclub maybe) and they are just crackers to me. Perhaps with a huge hunk of cheese I would think they were amazing, but that wouldn’t be fair ;).
If you don’t get Goodies Co., you should totally consider it. It’s $7/month and and includes “5-8 delicious new foods hand-picked and delivered directly to your doorstep”. They also have a new Kid’s Box that is launching next month which is also only $7!

I got the salted caramel. It was very good & everyone fought over it! My chips were spinach & kale. I did not get to try them before my son ate them so they must not have been too bad. Didn’t like the crackers at all but the dog loved them!
Code worked! Just signed up to get the Kid’s box for my daughter; says my first box will be September.
I received box 5 this month, with the salted caramel and spinach kale chips that Suzanne got. Loved the Cherry Lovers snacks, but not a big fan of the strawberry/kiwi drink. Still a great value, and my favorite food box!
Eh… This was my first Goodies box and I was pretty underwhelmed. I’m hoping they were just too focused on launching the kids box to make this on stellar!
Thanks for the code! I signed up and am getting the taster’s box in August. I heard about Birchbox from a friend and when I was doing some Google research on it, I came across your blog.- love it! It’s so helpful to be able to see what these boxes are really about before ordering! I’m currently waiting for my first Birchbox and Julep Maven
(they sent me one for free :)) and now goodies as well! I can’t wait! Thanks for all your tips!
My Dad in Sacramento got his (I gave him a sixth month subscription for Fathers Day) but I haven’t received my box yet. Waiting not so patiently.
Mine came today. How the heck do you know which box number you get?? My drink was black raspberry flavor, the Cosmo Creations were Caramel, and my chips were corn with sea salt. I really want to try the Cherry Lovers but they are pretty much pure sugar so I may only get one before my husband snatches them away from me and eats them in order to help me “eat less sugar”…HA! Well…this box is actually for him so I guess I have to give him first dibs (I’m hoping a monthly Goodies box compensates for all the other boxes that are mostly for me 🙂
Where do you enter the promo code I can’t find a space for it
This was my first box. I loved it! So simple but everything was so delicious. The cherry lovers was my favorite. I went on the site and bought a few more bags. The various flavors were so spot on. I received Classic Caramel cosmos and the regular flavored corn chips. Also black raspberry sparkling water. I can’t wait to continue this subscription.
Love your site, but where do I put the promo code for the free box.
Thank you for the code…it worked! Can’t wait to try it!
Got the August box and have already written Goodies. It was so pitiful that my husband made over the box after we had put aside all the gummy candies and smaller than sample size Fiber one bar. They even included a sample of ONE cup of coffee. Took the coffee to the hospital and divided it three ways so all the nurses could get a taste and poured clabbered milk into my 3 oz. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was so rediculous. I’m pretty sure this is my last box, but my poor hubby has a year subscription (a father’s day present). If I have enough points for a free box I’ll take that but I’m not really looking forward to a really great shipping container again.
