Wondering how many of you do them and which ones? I am an addict. I do love Glossybox, Starbox, Hello fresh, and Blue Apron. I especially love the fresh food boxes with fresh ingredients for meals. The British hello fresh box look really good they have so many more options. Did we have a beauty or foodie channel on here at all? I would love to talk beauty products and food & recipes in a special forum.

"Do them?" I've never even heard of them.

What exactly is a subscription box?

AmerLisa

So glad I'm not the only one....

JULIEROSE

They run weekly or monthly depending on the product.

I have several beauty boxes delivered monthly Glossybox, Beauty Box Five, Starlooks. They give you full size and sample products to try then usually discounts for their products and other things e.g I have a 30% off coupon for Gap this month in Glossybox. They give you discounts for being annual subscribers and I like the fact I can try out products without buying them, getting some full size products and discounts on other stuff.


On the food side I do weekly, Hello Fresh & Blue Apron - they deliver fresh food ready for me to cook for my family - the recipes are done by michelin star chefs in NYC and I really like it much better than going to a chain restaurant over here and it is just nice fresh food. I don't end up buying a full bottle of oyster sauce for a recipe so I feel it saves me money.


There are so many out there pet boxes, nature boxes so much!

Good news is that they do not serve us in flyover land.

Well the Food ones.

Seems like you get a recipe card and instead of going to Whole Foods etc all the ingredients pre measured for a how much? price.

It must say something that there is a market, just not sure what............

JULIEROSE

Like I said before you don't buy a whole bottle of oyster sauce and waste it! The food is fresh from the farmers market and is for professionals that are foodies that want to cook a fresh meal from home and you cut out impulse buying at stores. Much better than going to a cheap chain restaurant and healthier. I have whole foods about 35 miles away the gas would cost me and the food delivery is free and at $10 a meal that sometimes can feed four it is fine by me!

I get some beauty boxes. Ipsy glam box, Allure Beauty Box and New beauty test tube.

Who wastes oyster sauce? "Foodies" cook creatively, even those of us who are professionals, even those of us who are not professionals. We source ingredients ourselves. We plan menus ourselves. We exercise discipline. (We're a woman of Jewish heritage and a man of Scottish heritage. The jokes write themselves.) We create our own "food culture".

You patently don't. But OK, whatever works in your world. The Lounge is that way, in the main forum. ----->. Good luck drumming up your referrals.

Do you sell these boxes???

He's so tightfisted, the two of you celebrate Yom Kippur weekly instead of once a year?

Speedwell

LOL. The one I usually use is that if we ever fought over a penny, we'd wind up with ten miles of copper wire.

A quick google suggest there hundred of them. Reminds me of those big stocking you got at Christmas.

Or perhaps ordering a Birthday Present every month where you do not know exactly what you will get plus the anticipation in many cases of a bargain.

Perhaps there should be a BE Box?

Sounds like buying unmarked cans at a dollar store
