Green Bean Buddy

I've had the veg box every other week for about three years now. This time the potatoes came a bit muddy and one of the carrots was split, but I just rinsed them and carried on. Still good value for what you get and the swaps are easy to make online. Happy enough.

The cabbage and carrots came crisp and fresh, way better than I get from the usual supermarket bags. Box arrived on the day they said and the leaves were still firm. Only thing is the swede was a bit small this time but the rest made up for it.

Needed a quick weekly shop sorted as I'm sharing with two others and nobody wants to queue. Found the site through a mate. Bit fiddly picking the slots but the food turned up on time and looked fine. Would use again.

I needed an easy way to get veg in without planning every meal around it. Tried a couple of other boxes first but they were pricier or didn't let me skip weeks. This one lets me pause easily and the mix is decent. Only niggle is the packaging is a bit more plastic than I'd like.

Still a good box after all these years. The seasonal stuff is what I look forward to most. The recipe cards are a bit wordy but the veg is always decent quality. Sometimes the timings slip by a day.

Compared it with ordering the same veg from the big supermarket and this worked out a few quid cheaper per box once you count the stuff I'd otherwise have binned. The box is a fair size and the produce keeps well. The one thing I'd flag is the delivery window is quite broad, so you need to be in. Otherwise sound.

Compared it with my local farm shop and the produce here is about as good, probably a touch cheaper for the same sort of stuff. I like being able to swap items I don't fancy. Delivery came in a cool bag which kept everything cold. Packing could be a bit tidier with the extra bits of plastic.

Compared it with two other veg box companies first and this one came out cheapest once I'd worked out price per kilo. The site was easy to use and I liked being able to skip weeks. Delivery came in a cool bag and everything was in good nick, although one courgette was a bit bruised. Would order again.
