I’ve noticed that monthly subscription boxes is a big trend nowadays. I even subscribe to a few myself (mostly geek/fandom things). There are boxes for just about everything you can think of including boxes for pets, beauty boxes, book boxes and the ever so popular food boxes.
Some boxes give you full size products whereas others just send you sample sizes. Personally, I prefer full size products.
Back in June I received a subscription box from a company called Degustabox. The company is very popular in Europe but recently started a service here in the United States.
Degustabox sends you mostly full size products (occasionally you’ll receive a few random sample sizes).
If you are interested in reading my review for the June box you can read it here – Introducing Degustabox – A monthly box filled with delicious foods and beverages.
I received another box for the month of August. Once again I was very pleased with the great assortment of products I received.
Degustabox carefully wraps the products so that things don’t break or open up during transit. I appreciate that they take the time to make sure every Degustabox subscriber has a wonderful experience with their company.
Degustabox provides subscribers with a nice variety of goodies including snacks, beverages and other yummy goodies. You never know what you might receive.
Check out this months goodies.
GOYA Maria Cookies – These are great cookies for dunking in your tea or coffee. They are a lot like tea biscuits. I have heard of them until I received them in the Degustabox. I have since purchased a few more packages from our local grocery story (only .85 each package too!).
Vermont Smoke & Cure Beef and Pork Sticks – I never had a chance to try these. My teenage son had one the same day I opened my Degustabox and I never saw the other ones. I have a feeling he gobbled them all up. Needless to say I guess he really liked them.
White Lily White Grape Seed Flour – I have never heard of White Grape Seed Flour before.
I’m not much of a baker, so I rarely have a need for flour. I want to try this stuff out, but so far I have not figured out what I wanted to make this with (recipe?).
I can’t give you an honest opinion on this product because I haven’t tried it yet. It is a fairly decent size bag. This is certainly NOT a sample size.
Honey Bunches of Oats with Strawberries – This is a FULL SIZE box that came in the Degustabox. We are big fans of Honey Bunches of Oats cereals. My family of four finished up this box in two days. It’s great for breakfast and also for a late night snack. Yummy!!!
Sir Kensington’s Mayonnaise – I have reviewed products from this brand in the past. You can read the review here – Try something new with Sir Kensington’s. These are great, flavorful mayonnaise products.
I am not a fan of anything spicy. My husband and my son have been using this mayonnaise on their sandwiches. My husband says it gives his turkey sandwiches just the right amount of a “kick” to change it up from the regular, boring sandwich.
This is a full size jar too! A little bit of this goes a long way so you can enjoy this for a while.
PopChips Potato Ridges – This is a snack size bag (single serving). I actually gobbled this bag down while opening up my Degustabox. The chips never made it until I finished going through everything in the box. I love PopChips!
Loaker Rose of the Dolomites – I have never heard of the brand before, nor was I familiar with whatever these were.
At first glance I thought they were chocolates shaped like flowers. They are actually cookie-like treats covered with milk chocolate and featuring a hazelnut cream (think Nutella). Oh boy! Were these delicious!
I have never seen these (or the brand) at the local grocery store. I think I need to look for them at specialty shops. If I ever found them I would stock up on these. They were good! Thank you Degustabox for putting these yummy treats in your box.
Alo Pulp Free Beverage, made with Aloe and Mango – This was my least favorite product in the entire box. First and foremost I am not a fan of mango, but occasionally I come across a mango product I like.
This drink is made with real aloe juice. I have heard good things about aloe juice, so I was excited to give it a try. This was NOT my “cup of tea” at all. I didn’t like it. I even had my kids try it and they didn’t like it either.
Oh well… you can’t like everything, right? Just because we didn’t like it doesn’t mean others won’t love it.
Oregon Chai Tea Latte – My kids and I love chai teas, and lattes (my daughter especially is into “gourmet” beverages).
It’s been unseasonably hot and humid here in NY the past couple of weeks. The LAST thing we want is a hot beverage (I’ve been option for ice coffee over hot coffee). This is more of a fall/winter beverage.
I did make a cup of it to try it out. It’s really good. It’s perfectly sweetened too. You don’t need to add a thing to it. Just open a package of the mix, add it to your favorite mug and top it off with some hot water. Mmmm… good!
Goetze’s Cow Tails – Oh how I love these! I have had these before. These are SO GOOD! Degusta Box sent a full size package of these ooey gooey chewy caramel delights. They are the mini version too so one (or two) make the perfect snack if you are looking for something sweet.
I had to hide these. If I see them out in the open I WILL eat them all.
In addition to all these goodies, the Degustabox came with recipes (Homemade Cheddar Cheese Crackers and Nut & Honey Blondies), as well as a crossword puzzle and instructions on how to make an origami bird.
Degustabox also includes a sheet with a detailed list of the box contents.
As you can see you get A LOT with your monthly Degustabox subscription. It’s a great way to try out new products and learn about brands you might not otherwise get the chance to know about.
Degustabox would make a great gift too, especially for a college student or someone who doesn’t venture out too much.
You can also cancel your subscription at any time. You can even give it as a gift or sign up for an entire year and save money.

You can see examples of the types of goodies that come in the box on the brands German and Spain Instagram pages.
