I read about Morrisons £35 food boxes earlier in the week, and thought they seemed a good idea. Website states box will feed two people for a week.
No chance. Mines just arrived, and £35 is a joke for what you get. To context, I'm a couple pounds under twelve stone, so not a big big eater.
It's a good idea from Morrisons, but no way should they be charging £35 for what they send. |  | | |  |

I think the OP is too busy tucking into it to reply!
I would be interested to know. I can't imagine comfortably feeding two for £35 for a week. Maybe if I really tried I might be able to with plenty of pasta and vegetarian meals. |  |

15 boxes of porridge oats, sorted! |
I ordered a vegetarian box, and it included :
6 'Heck' meat free vegan sausages
350g Quorn mince
350g Quorn pieces
167g of vegetarian 'steak' slice
350g tub of tomato and basil pasta sauce
1 kg baby potatoes
3 mixed peppers
Broccoli
1kg carrots
3 large onions
350g cheddar
Salted butter
White sliced bread
500g penne pasta
Tin baked beans
Tin vegetable soup
Tin tomato soup
250g packet of long grain rice
1l of Cravendale semi skimmed milk
4 toilet rolls
2 kitchen towels
I'd agree feeding two people for £35 is unlikely, but, having said that I don't know why Morrisons have stated that on their website. My two issues are that at most there is £20-£25 worth of food there, at the most, so not great to see a supermarket taking advantage at this time. Secondly, I just found a different forum, and other people who ordered got the exact same contents at the start of the week. If they are boxing the same stuff to everyone, why not just list the contents of the box on the website (which they don't).
Just incidentally, I've read two comments from people who bought the meat box, saying theirs had arrived with chicken split open, which had then leaked over other goods. The meat box was the same contents as above, but the quorn items replaced with 10 rashers of bacon, 4 chicken breasts, 6 pork sausages, and 525g beef mince. That would probably provide a couple of extra meals compared the the vegetarian box I guess.
I hope this helps anyone considering it, to make a decision either way. It might be perfect for some people. I just wanted to post, because, there might be people like myself who are self employed, and needing to be really careful with money right now. My opinion is that it is about £10 too much for what is sent. | | | |
