Review: DegustaBox - February

DegustaBox is a monthly subscription box filled with food and drink products. The price for the box is $19.99 a month.  

You do not get to pick any of the products you get, it's a surprise each month. But they say each box contains 10-15 items and each box is worth at least $30. I like trying boxes like this because they usually contain products that I've never tried or haven't seen before. 

In the February box was...

2 Bags of Popchips Ridges

Grace Foods Coco Chips

Walkers Shortbread Cookies

Nando's Peri Peri Sauce

Slendier Fettuccine Noodles

Ricola Herbal Cough Drops

PR Protein Bar

Jones Soda Cream and Orange flavor

Green and Black's Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Chocolate bar

2 Bandar Spicy Mango Chili Sauce Packets

Welch's Fruit and Yogurt Snacks

Jiffy Pop Popcorn

That's quite a lot in a box for $19.99 and most of this stuff I hadn't tried before. I keep finding things in these boxes that I wasn't sure I would like but end up being so darn good, like the Coco Chips. They are crispy coconut chips. 

I don't like sea salt mixed with my chocolate so that wasn't a hit but everything else was really good. They only thing I haven't tried yet are the fettuccine noodles. 

Now here's a treat for you. If this box looks like something you'd like, you can use code MARYK-ACB and get your first box half off. That's a big box of food for only $10! and you can cancel anytime. So if you're interested, go to the DegustaBox site and sign up and don't forget to use my code to get your first box for just $10. 

Review: Universal Yums Subscription Box

Universal Yums is a monthly subscription box that sends you snacks from all over the world. A different place each month. This is the June 2016 box. (I write my posts about a month ahead of time so that's why this is posted this month. I always have about 30-40 blog posts scheduled at any time) 

There are two box sizes to choose from. The 6 or more snacks or 12 or more snacks. I chose the 6 or more snacks box.  For my box size, it's $13.00 a month. And they sent quite a bit in my box. The other box costs $25.00 a month. 

So I was sent 17 snacks in my box. Candies, cookie, chips and fruit candies. This months box is from The USA. You would think that since I'm from the US that I would be familiar with most of these things but the only thing I was familiar with were the candies. 

I picked up the dark candy on the bottom row because I saw it said, "Praline" on it. I love pralines so when I opened it and took a bite of it and started chewing, I knew something was wrong. It was hot! So I took a better look at the package and saw it said Habanero Praline. More like burning ass hot praline.  It was hot. The hotness of the it over powered the yumminess of the praline so for me it wasn't enjoyable. 

Next thing I tried was the Chesapeake Crab potato chips. Did you see in the second picture where in the corner it said salt and spicy? I didn't because I used a pair of scissors to cut the top off. *Facepalm* It was spicy hot and bitter. Not good. I don't know who put this box together but I swear not all of us from the US like spicy foods. We're not all rednecks who drink beer, eat spicy pork rinds and drive pick up trucks. And I can say that because my family is all kinds of redneck, but not the wear my jammies to Walmart type redneck.

So next I tried the black and white cookie and that was good, tasted like a pound cake cookie with vanilla and chocolate frosting. 

The Abba Zaba candies are white chewy taffy on the outside with a thin layer of peanut butter on the inside. I used to have those all the time when I was a kid and they're still good. And of course I liked the Salt Water Taffy, I buy that and keep in the candy jar so that was a favorite for me. 

So for the most part it was a good box with a couple of spicy flops. 

Review: Bunny's Furr and Feathers FunPacks

I've done reviews on all kinds of subscription boxes, I even had one for my dog. So I wondered if there was one out there for rats. So I did what I always do when I have a question...I Googled it! That's where I found Bunny's Furr and Feathers Funpacks. When I saw that they did indeed have one for rats as well as dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs and other animals, I figured I would get one for Flower and see how it was. 

First off, the packaging was fun and right on the box it said, "Hi Flower, we picked these just for you." How cute is that?

Inside the box was a cuddle/bonding sack, a corn cob raffia toy, strawberry treats and a wheel delights food treat.

These treats are good to keep rats occupied when you are asleep or aren't playing with them. It gives them something fun to do and a treat too.

I always have some kind of treat on hand to give her when she is out or stares at me to give her one and she likes these.

Little enrichment toys are always good to have in their cage. most of the toys I've put in her cage she just ignores. So we'll see with this one.

Cuddle or bonding sacks are a great way to bond with a skittish or shy rat. They love little sacks like this one and Flower is no different. She loves to play in pouches, sacks, pockets..ect. Rats are very curious creatures.

As you can see she rat right in it when she came out to play. Nothing but tail and butt in this picture. lol 

She loves this cuddle sack. It's nice and soft and so cute!

Flower went after the treat right away. She's been taking a bite every time she comes down stairs in her cage.

I think she really likes this. 

All in all I would give this pet subscription box a 4 out of 5 stars. The price is $25 for a single month, which is what I got and that price is a bit steep to me for what was in the box. But I thought the same thing about the dog box that I got Falcor and lots of people buy that. So if this looks like something you want to check out, go here to their website. They have boxes for all types of animals, even rats! Shipping was fast, the website is easy to navigate and they have quality products in their boxes.
