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.

Hilltop Blossom Honey (£1.85) is an award-winning honey, amber in colour. It is sweet and has a mild floral scent.
Lovely to drizzle over hot crumpets or pancakes, added to porridge or tea. The honey has so many culinary uses, from marinades and salad dressing, to bakes of all kinds.
It has a lovely taste, though I prefer to buy honey of single origin, rather than a blend of more than one countries' honeys, as sadly it loses a lot of its health qualities when mixed with different honeys. It is still good for eating and cooking.
Nutritional values: 307kcal and 76g of sugar per 100g.
Available in the major supermarket chains.
Maggi Air Fryer Crispy Southern and Air Fryer Crispy Korean BBQ (£0.99 each) are blends of herbs and spices.
