I don't know about you, but I like surprises.
It's one thing to order a free sample and wait for what you are
expecting... but it's a whole other thing to let go of that illusion of control and let yourself be surprised, even though you are paying for it!
It's a nice change of pace to
let someone order food for you, trusting that for the most part you are going to be pleased with what you receive. Just do it to experience something different for a change - both that feeling of loosening that grip of control over your life and the willingness to be surprised.
You might discover something you enjoy and even love, something that you never would have thought to try - I NEVER would have tried to eat crickets if I stuck with the same old "what I want." I'm not kidding. I ate crickets. It was in the form of a
crunchy snack made from cricket flour, but I ate it just the same - and it was delicious! Apparently bugs are the
foods of the future.
In case you're curious - crickets have a slightly nutty flavor and are full of protein - more than beef. As far as food production goes, crickets use the
least amount of water in comparison to meat products. Eating bugs is about
food security and the ecological health of our planet.
So getting back to being surprised by
Degustabox. Being from the Mid-Atlantic, I was sooo happy to find a full size box of Entenmann's. The all natural coconut ginger soda was surprisingly good. That was from New York, but I had never heard of it before. Oh and those lemon waffle cookie things? Get you some. Seriously. This "surprise food delivery service" is only $20 after the first box and shipping is always free. I also looked into how to cancel - very easy to find and complete, but they also allow you to put your account on hold for as long as you would like.
The first box was only going to set me back ten bucks and I thought "why
not?" That will take care of some of my shopping for at least a few
meals, and I don't have to take the time out to track down deals on
Amazon. (
Prime Pantry
is awesome if you haven't tried it, especially if you don't mind
hunting down the good deals. I buy more than half my food this way.) I
believe Degustabox is really on to something good. Hopefully they will
keep up the good work with their selection process and keep adding high
quality products.
Just do it. You know you want it! Being surprised is fun! And if you don't like something? Use it as an excuse to talk to your neighbor - maybe it's something they absolutely love! And if you want it to be free - share some of your food treasure with your friends and family. When they ask where you got such yummy stuff or how do they to sign up - give them your link - and for every two people that sign up with your link- you get credit for a free box!
When you get your first
Degustabox, come back and let me know what you think.
