Kale actually freezes well! And then you can take out a handful or two and add to stews, soups and curries as needed!

Thanks for sharing jane,I have a local delivery of fruit and veg for 22.50 that may sound expensive but it lasts me a fortnight I have box packed full to the brim of every thing,it’s delivered on a Friday but only if I message them ,as I usually have one a fortnight works for me,I have tried organic boxes in past same sort of price as mentioned but not much in the box still ended up going to shops

I bought my daughter her first box last week. Great success!

I used to have Abel and Cole - loved the food, but it was getting very expensive, so I switched last year to Oddbox, as I liked the concept of rescuing the food, and it was priced at £10.99 for the XS box. However now that they have increased the price by £1.99 and added the delivery charge of £1.49, it is considerably more expensive that buying in the supermarket., so reluctantly I am going to stop getting them.

I have used Able and Cole in the past they are really good a good choice of boxes and the option to swap items. They also deliver dairy,meat and store cupboard staples. I'm about to resume my deliveries ,I like getting the fruit and veg loose and not in plastic. It's not cheap but there's always some discount codes to find.

I had a service in California U.S. for awhile. I think it was called Imperfect Produce. It was suppose to be good produce, but not perfect enough for grocery stores. I subscribed for awhile, but after analyzing what I was paying I could buy it much cheaper by watching sales and buying seasonably. I like relying on my own frugality! Great video Jane.

It might be nice if they use twisty ties for the kale.

Hi Jane, that was interesting but I did think it was really expensive for what you got. I know what you mean about the brocolli rut I have that too and I am a vegan. 😂Sometimes I find it is hard to be adventurous in the supermarkets like Asda as they don't have that much variety so veg boxes can be a way like you say to try and vary what you get. The problem is at the moment with everyhting so expensive it becomes another overpriced thing. Great video though, have a lovely week.

Aww, Lola has gorgeous colours! I ordered an oddbox a few weeks ago, like the concept and the idea of being environmentally-friendly, didn't find it all that good value for the amount of veg I received, but it was nice to try some veg I wouldn't normally buy (Beetroot, Chicory, Turnip, etc).

Sadly although I like the idea of the odd box I did not think it was value for money.

Sometimes I order heavy groceries to be delivered at my door. It is very convenient, but not cheaper than buy the same amount from the stores. I do not have a car at my disposal so that is why I either use a trolley (a big bag with wheals) or buy less (not more than I can carry) and go more frequently to the stores. - Lidls veggie/fruit box is a bargain, but often hard to find and I just cannot plan my whole life for hunting them!

Id be keen to see how the other boxes turn out, Much as I like kale I dont want enough to bath in. Yes freeze it, and its great then in smoothies. or stews etc. I used to get a lovely farm box, it lasted me a fortnight, and was everything in season. Just a little too much for a single person when my partner worked away

The Odd Box looked such a good idea, hopefully in the future their prices may come down when more people use them. Good for the environment and less waste

I've started buying my fruit and veg off the weekly market,trying 2 time it 4 just after lunch when the prices drop.

Hmm, the concept of odd box is good, but I wasn’t impressed with it. I had it going for a few weeks and the first couple of boxes I loved. Even though it was a bit pricier, like you I enjoyed the surprise of different veg, the fact it was saved from going to waste and that it was less plastic. However after a few weeks I found that in general the quality wasn’t that great, some of it went off quicker and that despite me excluding some items, I still got them in my box. This happened on a few occasions. I’ve tried other boxes and personally the best for me was riverford. Dependable, quality, seasonal organic veg and you can add extras to your box Inc. fruit and meat. For a standard veg box it costs a bit more than odd box but not hugely more, and the quality is much better. Plus it’s organic. For saving money though, you’re better off just going to your supermarket and finding the deals.

Brilliant video. Thanks for covering the odd box, it’ll be interesting to see the difference between each of your boxes over the coming weeks. Do you still pay for the week you skip, is there a time notice for for this?

I looked into using Oddbox but in the end didn't. I live in a large UK city and my front door access is on the pavement/ sidewalk. I did use a different fruit and veg delivery company. It didn't work out for me for a number of different reasons and cancelled the service after 6-8 weeks. Your box of products looked good.

Have tried to order from them and tried 2 different addresses in 2 different areas but they don't deliver to either

Try and make kale chips in the dehydrator? I made them in the oven ages ago and they were really nice. Like a salty snack healthy crips replacement. Cats do love boxes it’s so funny!

Hi , The box of veg - 😳 - £7.50 ( Totally unbelievable ? ) Lidi has loads more in a box for £1.50 ever week in store x

I think your odd box was really pricey Jayne Not much in it was there xx

This company will help people live longer. Impressed 👍

I tried odd box, but I found it expensive for what you got, especially not knowing what you’re going to get. I didn’t think the quality justified the cost either. I really wanted to like it, but I didn’t.

Would you recommend or just go to the supermarket instead??

In your intro you said you bought Extra Small box but when you unpackaged it you called it Small Box. Which one was it? I'm guessing Extra small by the cost - however, the price for an extra small Oddbox in September 2023 is currently £11.49 . Are you still using their service?

My brother has a greengrocers he can't buy veg at the price aldi sell for but his produce lasts a lot longer and tastes much better trust me I get through alot 😂

I always prefer to pay a bit more to individuals or farmers than cheap chain grocery store corporations

I thought I'd like to give Oddbox a try but I just checked and they don't deliver to my postcode in East Yorkshire 😕

What is stilton??

That’s ridiculously expensive - my local greengrocer is way cheaper.😱😱

Potatoes are not a vegetable.

The odd box doesn’t look like a great deal...much of it I would not use....

Absolutely rip off i have a outdoor fresh fruit&Veg stall i can get double the amount for that price
