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 otherwise wouldn't have tried.
Each time a 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 £3off discount from your first box (and you can unsubscribe any time), just use code DKRLN when placing an order.
What did we get in the August Box Degustabox box?
Nature's Heart Sweet Chilli Crunch or Sour Cream & Chive Crunch (£2.25) is a tasty mix of edamame, peas, broad beans and seeds. They come in six different flavours, and you should receive one.
We've got Sour Cream & Chive Flavour Crunch, a classic flavour combination that works perfectly in savoury snacks.
Nutritional values: 12g protein and 8g of fibre, 1of 5 a day. 1 portion contains at least 4tsbp of vegetables. Suitable for vegans.
Lovely on its own, this crunchy mix will also be a nice addition to a cheese board, with some apple slices and celery sticks.
Available at Waitrose, Holland & Barrett, WHSmith, on Ocado and Amazon.
Knorr Pastaria Pasta Parmesana/ Bolognese or Carbonara (£1.40) is a mix to make pasta in a rich tomato and beef sauce. This comfort food could be ready in about 10 minutes.
Nutritional values: 306kcal and 1.7g of salt per portion; no artififical colours or preservatives.
It's not the same pasta Bolognese as you would cook yourself from scratch, but if you're in a hurry and/or not very experienced in the kitchen, this pasta packet could come handy.
You should receive 1 item of 3 in your box.
Available at ASDA.
Rubies in the Rubble Squeezy Tomato Ketchup (£3.50) is one of the Great Taste award winners in 2021. This ketchup is made with fruit which would've gone to waste (tomatoes, surplus pears, apples).
Nutritional information: 86kcal and 20g of sugar per 100g. Carbon neutral, twice the fruit, half the refined sugar, 100% recyclable bottle.
Use as you would use any standard ketchup: with fries, in burgers, sandwiches, added to tomato ragu sauces etc.
Available at Tesco, Waitrose, Co-Op and on Ocado.
BEAR Paws Strawberry & Apple and Raspberry & Blueberry (£0.60 each) are gently baked chewy fruit paw shapes made with 100% fruit, no added sugar and not from concentrates.
BEAR Paws bring back many memories of my younger son taking Bear snacks to primary school as part of his lunchbox. I haven't bought Bear snacks in years, and seeing them was like meeting an old friend.
Nutritional values: 62kcal and 9g of sugar per portion.
You should receive two items in your box.
Available at all major retailers and online on Amazon and Ocado.
Whitworths SHOTS Fruity Biscuit 4 pack (£2) are a lovely mix of sultanas, dried cranberries and white chocolate coated shortcake pieces.
These small sized snacks are less than 100kcal per shot. A handy snack to have in the bag for when you're on the go and feeling peckish.
While I enjoy the cranberries and sultanas, the white chocolate is a tad too sweet for me.
Available in all major supermarket chains.
PITCH Strawberry (£1.75) is a new addition to the Pitch range of baked goodies.
My sons love Pitch brioche, plain or filled with chocolate, and liked the strawberry flavoured brioche as much.
Lovely for lunchboxes, or with a cup of morning coffee. Each brioche comes individually wrapped for freshness.
Typical values: 25kcal and 8.6g of sugar per brioche.
Available at Aldi from 27th August to 3rd September, and at Tesco from 4th September. Hopefully they will be available at the other retailers soon.
LU Le Petit Ganache (£1.70) is the first filled biscuit in the LU range.
We're fans of LU Le Petit Chocolat and Le Petit Beurre biscuits, and Le Petit Ganache is pretty good too, if you enjoy gooey chocolate and hazelnut filled biscuits.
The LU bakery was created in 1846 in Nantes, France, and to this day, they use the traditional recipes and quality ingredients in their tasty bakes.
Typical values: 162kcal and 10g of sugar per 3 biscuits.
Available in major supermarket chains.
J2O Spritz Apple & Elderflower/ Spritz Pear & Raspberry (£3.55 per pack of four) are fruity soft drinks with lots of bubbles.

We received Spritz Apple & Elderflower flavour. It is light, sparkling, sweet and fruity.
It will also make a nice ingredient for a jelly with fresh berries.
Nutritional values: 18kcal and 4g of sugar per 100ml.
Available in major supermarkets across different formats.
Tropicana Long Life Smooth Orange (£3) is a pure fruit juice, 100% from natural origin. Now it is fresher for longer in a long life carton. Tropicana oranges are hand picked at the right moment and squeezed within 24 hours.
Typical values: 40kcal and 8.6g of sugar per 100ml. No added sugar, a source of vitamin C, 1 of 5 a day per 150ml.

Carlsberg 0.0 Pilsner (£0.88 each) is a non-alcoholic beer. It has a full flavour and zero alcohol - just perfect when you fancy a beer but don't want or cannot drink alcohol.
Enjoy with a pizza, crisps, burgers, a seafood plate, or a sharing bag of jalapeno cheese curls.
Available at selected Tesco stores. Carlsberg 0.0 Pilsner is only available in a 4x330ml multipack at £3.50.
