Since the introduction of the third lockdown and resumed remote learning, our mornings are not rushed and we can enjoy a more leisurely breakfast. Breakfast and On the Go was the theme of the last Degustabox.
Degustabox is a monthly food and drink subscription box. It's an excellent way of discovering new products which have only just appeared in the shops, or those which have been around for a while, but you haven't had a chance to try them yet.
Thanks to Degustabox, I have found new favourites to add to our shopping list, including some products which I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise.
Each time the monthly box arrives, its contents are a total surprise. You get a good selection of foods and drinks.
If you haven't tried Degustabox subscription box yet, and would like to have a go, I have a £3 off discount from your first box (and you can unsubscribe any time), just use code DKRLN when you place an order/

Yum!! I would have loved this box. The Mellow puffs are delicious, I bought them a few times. The mustard mayo is very good too, I tried that one too. Also, the Barley cup is really nice. I think I bought about 5 jars or more last year. In the afternoon I prefer decaff coffee or Barley cup.
ReplyDeleteI think I really need to try a Degustabox. There is always so many things I want to try.
ReplyDeleteThose waffles look so good and the Nat Bears are just adorable. I think my girls would love them despite them being older. hehehe x
