DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IS NOT SPONSORED. I PURCHASE THIS BOX WEEKLY WITH MY OWN MONEY.
In my meal planning post this week I talked about our Organics to You box. For those of you who aren’t from the Portland area you may not have any idea what I am talking about so before I get into the contents of this weeks box let me first tell you about the box. The box is filled with 100% Organic produce with much of this produce coming from local farmers.
The box is delivered right to your door so as a busy mom of two this is FANTASTIC. You can customize your box based on the size you’d like and you can do add on’s for additional produce such as ingredients for salads or Asian dishes or maybe you have little one’s in the house. Not only can you add on extra produce you can also add on lots of grocery items such as pantry items, milk (dairy and non-dairy), coffee, tea and even chocolate among other things.
This week we went with the small bin with a baby add-on (see here for details on bin sizes). The cost was $51 for the box plus add-on.
Fruits:
8 Anjou Pears
3 Fuji Apples
4 Gala Apples
4 Kiwi
10 Bananas
4 Navel Oranges
2 Mangos
Veggies:
1 Butterkin Squash
4 Russet Potatoes
4 Sweet Potatoes
1 Celery
1 Bunch Lacinato Kale
2 Bunches of Carrots
1 bag Shitaki Mushrooms
1 Celeriac
2 Onions
I have to say everything looks fantastic and based on what I would normally spend on the same produce at the grocery store it ends up being less expensive. Bonus I don’t have to leave the house! We will continue our order and I might bump our box up to large bin and no baby bin.
Have you ever used a produce or grocery delivery service?
We used to use Organics to You, but my husband had me cancel it. Bummer…I loved having at least part of my grocery shopping delivered to my door!
Ive heard a couple people rave about this box! I loved your review. It would be SUCH a nice thing to have. May have to cut other services I get monthly try this one!
I’ve never used any produce box companies, but maybe this summer I will break into it. Thanks for the reminder!
I’ve always wanted to do something like this! I’m curious to follow your different installments that you get – but this one looks fantastic!
I love that it is delivered to your door – those things add up when I go to the Farmers Market to get them and as have to walk up the hill, the bag gets heavy and awkward to carry!!
I really need to get on this whole grocery delivery bandwagon. Another bonus: No impulse buys!
