  • This is my OddBox review. OddBox is a London based social enterprise doing fruit and veg deliveries across the City of London. They are all about tackling the issue of food waste by rescuing food surplus that would have been destined for the landfill.
    This was the first time I purchased a food box home delivery service from OddBox.
    Disclaimer: I am no way affiliated with them, I'm just a new customer that loves their mission and their service. If you want to check them out, their website is below.

    Do you find the box to be worth the original 11 pounds? For 5.5 it seems like a fine deal, but I am not sure if 11 pounds is justifiable.

      Hi Tomas, the £5.50 deal really sold me the first time I used them. Honestly, I do think the £12.99 for the small fruit and veg box is a bit pricey. But I believe in their cause and also the boxes usually have something I wouldn't normally purchase, so it means I get to experiment with new vegetables, which is a good thing. Either way, if you would like to give them a try, you can use this link for a discount on your first box mention-me.com/m/ol/fe7we-carla-richardson Enjoy!

      it's incredibly worth the price. The fruits and veg are fresh and better quality and tasting than store bought.

    I've been an Oddbox customer for a few months now (a fruit box). Overall good quality and good value. Also good service: they will refund for the occasional ingredient that isn't up to scratch. It's interesting to see the odd shapes and sizes that get rejected despite being perfectly edible, along with the normal-sized surplus in the food chain.

    Oh my goodness - I love EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!! That’s just the most phenomenal, forward-looking initiative I’ve heard of in ages 💗 (I find it really tragic that those beautiful fruit and veg would normally be rejected 😔😞)...
    How totally brilliant that they tell you about the provenance of the produce - and that they even provide a couple of recipes! Now I just need to find something similar in Paris, where the food is practically unaffordable even compared to normal London prices...
    Thank you so much for sharing - and by the way, I am a HUGE fan of your fabulous RUclips channel and your wonderful, warm personality! 🤗

    • @CookingForCales
      @CookingForCales  4 года назад +1

    Avocados are fruits. Thanks for sharing this today. I've never heard of OddBox before. Most of those fruits and vegetables didn't even look odd! I can't believe those things would get thrown off! Like #1. And that is really cheap! There is no reason not to buy this.

    • @CookingForCales
      @CookingForCales  4 года назад

      I think they are fruits as well Ashley. I know - it's a shame what food get's wasted in the world. I was so inspired by OddBox, I feel by supporting them, I'm also doing my little part to help with this horrendous problem. Thanks for stopping by and for your comments!

      @CookingForCales  4 года назад

      I think the jury is still out on if they are fruits or veggies, but totally agree with you Jorouka's Infusion - we love them either way! Thanks for stopping by and watching! 💐💜

    I believe the avocado is actually a berry. The box looks great. I wish they were in all areas.

    • @CookingForCales
      @CookingForCales  4 года назад +1

      Oh! A berry! That's interesting! OddBox say they're looking to expand their delivery outside of London. Hopefully they will be successful. It's such a great idea! Thank you for stopping by and watching!

    Hi new subscriber here x i have seen these advertised in them annoying facebook pop up ads and wondered what they are like....looks quite good....might give them a try ...nice video...thank you. stuffed cabbage leaves are nice....a filling of your choice such as mincemeat, onions and spices then baked in a spicy tomato sauce topped with melted cheese...yummy... serve with potatoes and other veg xx

    • @CookingForCales
      @CookingForCales  4 года назад

      Thanks for subbing Hazel B. Yes, give them a try, but atm I think they are only delivering in London. So if you are in the London area go for it. It can complement your Morrison Grocery Haul 😀

    When you say "Regular price £11.49" is that Oddbox regular price or what you would pay at a supermarket?

    • @CookingForCales
      @CookingForCales  3 года назад

      Hi Ian, that was the regular price of an Oddbox small fruit and veg box at the time I shot the vid. Their prices have gone up slightly since then. But you can get £10 off on your first box with a link I share in the description box if you want to give them a try🤗

    How much did they pay you to do this then. Advertise their crappy food. You must be the FIRST QND ONLY person otherwise to get decent food and SOOOOOO much. You only get 10 items usually. Hmmmm.😂😅😂
