I was surprised, but happy, to see my Love With Food on my mailbox yesterday!! I hadn’t really taken the time to peek at what people were getting, so it was a nice surprise to open up.
Love With Food ships via DHL Global Mail, which starts out with DHL and is delivered by USPS. Once again my tracking really didn’t update, the box just kind of appeared in my mailbox.
I love when boxes do holiday tie-ins, so I was excited to open up the box and see a little Halloween inside! I was also excited to the spoiler inside which I had all but forgotten about.
The October Love With Food theme is “Scary Delicious”. Love with Food suggests enjoying your treats this month as you keep an eye out for trick-or-treaters and other ghosts and goblins that may appear! I once again opted for the regular box, which contained the following:
~Chocolate Pizzelle Crisps from Silk City Snacks: I had been really excited for these when I first saw the spoiler, but yeah, I don’t love them. On the bright side WB does love them, so all is not lost. I think they’d be better with chocolate drizzled on the top. Then again, they probably wouldn’t be 100 calories a bag if that was the case ;).
~Glee Gum, Tripe Berry from Verve Inc.: I’ve never loved gum, but L is always trying to get me to let him have some, so this will be his special treat.
~New World Caveman Cookies from Caveman Bakery: I wasn’t sure about these but I am happy to report that they are quite good. They taste like chewy pumpkin bread. I don’t know that I will get more, but these are good.
~Organic Hard Candies from Torie & Howard: I received a tin of these in my fall Yuzen Box and they were gone in a snap. I already used some points with LWF to order more of these. SO good! My favorite is still the Blood Orange flavor.
~Pixo Pearls from Vinaigrerie Gingras: I think you can see the little pearls in this picture right? I’m not 100% sure what we will do with these yet, but B will figure something fun out!
~Happy Squeeze from Happy Family: This has WB’s name written all over it. He’s a pouch addict (except for “meat” ones), so this is awesome. I’d buy a pouch of the month subscription if there was one out there so WB could try all the new brands and flavors.
~Toasted Coconut Chips from Dang: I’ve gotten these before in a few boxes and like then well enough. I would have been much more excited had they included the new Sea Salt Caramel flavor they have! That would have been fabulous!!!
~Kind Bar from Kind Snacks: Totally a B item! He enjoys Kind Bars. I don’t hate then, but I wouldn’t say that I enjoy them either.
~Lean Cuisine Meal Coupon: I haven’t had a Lean Cuisine in a while, but I am very excited for this coupon and plan to pick one up next time I am at the store! These meals are expensive so this is great!
Did you get Love With Food this month? What’d you think? It didn’t wow me like some months did, but for $12/month and the fact that they donate a food to a child in need for each box sold keeps me a subscriber!
If you are interested in signing up click here. Subscriptions (for a regular box) are $12/month, but you can use the code “FB7OFF″ to get your first box for only $5. It looks like the waiting list is gone for the Deluxe Box (it’s $19.95/month and contains 16-2o items) so you can sign up for that now as well. If you got the Deluxe Box this month, what’d you think? Was there anything different?
OH DANG that’s a great box. I should’ve kept it. Bygones.
I can’t cancel LWF ever!
I got the exact same box- happy squeeze always come sin my klutchbox. I literally have all the flavors at this point haha. They are pretty good!
I can’t get into pouches for myself! I think it’s the texture??
I love pizzelles but I just can’t imagine anything would be as good as the home made ones from the press. and I’ve love to try the toasted coconut chips!
How did you make them?
With a pizzelle press – I have two handed down to me.. but they run like 50 bucks… easy to make and people love them.
Just ordered one, thanks for the promo code! I think my husband is going to start hating my new found love for subscription boxes lol
Maybe he’ll like the snacks!
The gum is good for about a minute and then the flavor is gone, so in other words you won’t be impressed. Deluxe box received two packages of those Pizzelle cookies and I agree with you those didn’t taste as I’d hoped either. Also received 2 toddler granola bars, Super Snacks soft granola (haven’t tried) 2 lean cuisine coupons, 3 Cavemen cookies and some kind of snack that looks like a french fry but better for you..at least my daughter ate a handful.
I had such high expectations for those Pizzelle’s too!!!
Your regular box was better than my deluxe one. I didn’t get a kind bar (my fav) or a lean cuisine coupon.
Everyone else said they got two coupons?? You should e-mail them!
Thanks for the tip. I will!
I didn’t get the Kind bar, but we did get a few different items (plus doubles and triples on a few things). In addition to your variety, there was:
Two bars from Happy Family: organic apple and kale and organic honey sunbutter. They were both labeled “toddler bars” or “toddler food” or something like that. They were full size.
Baked Cheddar Fries from Snikiddy
My Super Snacks from My Superfoods (little chocolate-chip-cookie-things that are partly made of granola and are free of most allergens)
Those My Super Snacks are good!!!!
We got the deluxe box this month. Had the happy foods toddler bar that Alli loves so much I just ordered a case from Zulily! So those pixo pearls (deluxe for a small box of 4) my daughter used on her salad after school today with some olive oil and she loved them. She said she would use them because we had them but didn’t think I should actually buy them. She did like popping them. She is 13. Next we will try them on a cracker and I will report back!
I didn’t even think to try them on a cracker!!!
Unfortunately if it says “only 5 calories each” it’s probably too good to be true. 😉
This is very true.
Just got my box but didnt didn’t receive the pixo pearls!!! Boo maybe I will email them
Did you get the regular box?
yes I did get the regular box! I e-mailed them to see if there is anything they can do.
Jennifer,
I love your review and your pictures of the box contents 🙂 I also got the same exact box, and I haven’t tried any of the food yet, but I was really pleased with the Lean Cuisine coupon (those are my fav!) I also LOVE the Halloween theme, as October is one of my favorite months, and I was hoping for either a Halloween theme or a breast cancer theme. ENJOY YOUR BOX!
(I’m a huge subscription box fan, so PLEASE let me know if you hear of any new/ cool boxes with great coupon codes etc, thanks!! )
I just finished my review of the box. There’s nothing really new to say that you haven’t, but you can check it out if you’d like: http://thelittledabbler.com/2013/10/17/love-with-food-october-review/
I’m glad I’m not the only one confused by the vinegar pearls!
What do you think you’ll do with then? Use them on a salad like you said? I’ve never seen anything like that! So interesting!!
Got my deluxe box on Wednesday…got everything like yours, minus the Kind bar, but I got 2 toddler bars, 4 caveman cookies which were way better than last months raw cookie IMO, baked cheddar fries, and 2 bags of pizzelles, 5 gums and 6 candies and 2 lean cuisine coupons! I think this box was a good deal this month, and I’m glad those caveman cookies were actually good or I would’ve been totally pissed, considering I got 4 of them. I thought there was more variety maybe in this box as opposed to last month, but it is still just 11 items and multiples of some to get it to the 16-20 items as promised. I could have done without all the gum. I’m not sure if I’m going to continue this deluxe box, but I do love trying different snacks especially since they are healthy too. Maybe I’ll give it another month…
I’m still debating on the deluxe box. Maybe I’ll wait another month too and see how yours is first.
Wasn’t a fan this month but my mom who was with me when the box came loved most of the items, I only kept the hard candies.
Those candies are SO good.
