It’s choice for kids!

The team at My Food Bag have just launched Bargain Box Choice, giving Kiwi families more choice in their meal-kit options.

Bargain Box Choice delivers family favourite recipes at bargain prices, with everything you need delivered to your door by New Zealand’s cheapest meal-kit – and now with added choice for those fussier family members.

What type of food can I typically expect in a Bargain Box Choice delivery?

Every week you can choose from eight recipes packed with goodness that will make you go WHOA! The amazing Bargain Box chefs and taste testers create meals the whole fam will love. They’re packed with plenty of veggies (perfect for growing bodies!), have easy-to-follow instructions, and are super tasty, too!

There will be a selection of proteins to choose from each week i.e. some chicken dinners, some beef etc. as well as two vegetarian meals.

Bargain Box chicken and eggs are free-range, they use sustainably caught fish, and source as many veggies and other ingredients as possible from local suppliers.

    Serves 2. We would love to give this a go as a tester as we’re hoping to use this box when I go back to work. I’m encouraging hubby to make more meals at home and I think this would make it so easy and convenient for him that they’d be no excuses.

  2. Stacie29 12/05/2021 at 6:45 pm

    I would ❤️ LOVE ❤️ to be selected to try this trial. The 4 person would be great! My partner works such long hours and me looking after our baby boy (22months) dinner time can be very hectic and tedious. So to have a trial like this would be wonderful. Thank you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

  3. Jenz1210 12/05/2021 at 6:37 pm

    Would love to try the serves 2 Box. Would be a perfect size for me and my 2 girls. They are good eaters and love food. Be great to try something different and easy for after work.

  4. ChristineC 12/05/2021 at 6:31 pm

    We would love to trail the 4 person Bargain Box. I have a child that has declared herself a vegetarian so would love some more ideas on what to cook for her. It would also help us get out of the rut of always seeming to have the same meals.
    I think it would be a good way to get the 10 year ild to start cooking dinners too.
    Thanks

    This couldn’t come at a better time as I look down the barrell of another groundhog week of family dinners. I desperately need to broaden my horizons and try some new dinners to make the family excited about dinner again. My kids are really awesome at trying new things, its me holding them back! Would love to try the 4 person box for 5 nights 😀

  6. dawnblyth 12/05/2021 at 6:26 pm

    We are a family of 4 but all big eaters – we have two growing boys, 12 and 6. The 12yr old attends academy level football training 3 nights a week and hubby is out of town for work most days at the moment – having a bargain box that feeds 6 to trial would be fantastic for our family – and help me in the kitchen on busy nights!

  7. Jay 12/05/2021 at 6:17 pm

    We would love to take part in this trial especially since winter sports has started up and with 3 kids to run around practices and games, it would be great not to have to think about what to cook for dinner. Would think the 4 person box would suit us.

  8. Gravey776 12/05/2021 at 6:00 pm

    We would love to try bargin box with 3 kids and 1 who is 6.months old life can be busy with winter sports starting we struggle with dinners and planning so bargin box would take the stress out of what to have and our fussy kids would love the meals the serve 6 would be amazing to try

  9. Mjchase 12/05/2021 at 5:53 pm

    Would love to trial a box for 4. I feel like we eat the same meals all the time and it would be good to try some new optikns and see if the kids like them.

  10. Obsidianwings 12/05/2021 at 5:45 pm

    I would love to try this for 4 people. Never had bargain box before but had quite a lot of hello fresh, so would be a good comparison. Not having any choice with bargain box has always put me off so keen to give it a go now there is a few options. thanks!

  11. sez857 12/05/2021 at 5:44 pm

    Would love to try bargain box for my family, serves 4. Have tried other food delivery boxes but find they don’t cater to the kids and they don’t eat them. We are getting in a bit of a rut with dinner options and with a busy home/ work/ school life this would make dinner that little bit easier and give us some new meal ideas 🙂

  12. Hahasally 12/05/2021 at 5:40 pm

    We would love to try the serves four people box. Night times can become such a drag when cooking the same meals every week. This would be a great way to add some variety into our meals

  13. mermaid32 12/05/2021 at 5:40 pm

    Always keen on making dinner time as easy as possible, and if the kids play a part in choosing from a range of meals they’re more likely to want to help cook, and eat it! I’ve recently returned to full time work so the convenience would be amazing too. I’ve been looking at getting back into a meal service to help ease the load a bit. I’d be interested to see if this was a hit! We are a family of 5, and one is a teenager, so we’d like need the box for 6

  14. Rainz1 12/05/2021 at 5:37 pm

    My family would love to try the served 4.
    This would be a great way to try new foods and after a busy day teaching this would be easy to prepare as everything is there.

  15. Butterfly2 12/05/2021 at 5:35 pm

    My family would love to be considered for this opportunity!
    My children enjoy experiencing new foods and flavours and my miss 9 is starting on her cooking journey and this would be an amazing way to help and guide her! Thank you!! Would be for a family of 6!

  16. Licko2 12/05/2021 at 5:29 pm

    We would love the family of 4 box, we have 2 growing boys and are in a bit of a stalemate with meals … kind of Groundhog Day with dinners. really wanting to encourage them to eat well and try new things and not end up chucking dinner out every night!

    • Coaster21 12/05/2021 at 5:47 pm

      Im a solo mum of 3 all are special needs plus I look after my nana. Honestly Im sick and tired of eating. Im sick of eating the same old foods daily. Im not the worlds greatest cook. Id love to learn to cook better and more healthier. We would love to be considered for a 6 person meal for 5 night option. Pretty please.

  17. nashabenson 12/05/2021 at 5:28 pm

    This would be amazing – we have tried my food bag before and my kids were not the biggest fans but I have heard bargain box is more suited for children 🙂 4 person would be perfect for us 🙂

  18. Sexymama20 12/05/2021 at 5:26 pm

    Be fantastic to try with a baby and a 7 year old it’s hard to find the time to cook dinner with bath times, and the baby needing feeding right on needing to cook dinner. And I’m stuck in a rut of cooking the same things every week so def need some new ideas.

  19. Loucyd3 12/05/2021 at 4:52 pm

    My family would love to be apart of this trial, this sounds great as the meals are all planned with recipes which make it great for letting the little ones and the teens to join in
    with preparing the family meals. The 6 person option would be great for our family.

  20. Jodes31 12/05/2021 at 4:48 pm

    Would love to give this a try as have always looked at the different food box options but have always been unsure on what company to choose and how they work etc. Finding new and exciting meals for our 2 adults and 2 school aged children plus baby is starting to get tricky and seem to be eating the same things over again. Would definitely love some new healthy inspiration! Would love to try the 4 person for 5 nights option 🙂

  21. Mama_of_4 12/05/2021 at 4:48 pm

    I struggle to find meals to make each week. I actually don’t love cooking so this would take the stress out of it so much!!! We have a family of 6 so the pack for 6 people would be amazing. We would love to try this out for you kidspot!!!

  22. madisonmummy 12/05/2021 at 4:42 pm

    My family of 4 would love to try this. Our 14 and 9 year old’s are getting interested in cooking meals but it’s sometimes just so hard working out what to have! With this they can follow the recipe and instructions and will be super eager especially if they’ve chosen meals they enjoy. This will give me a break from cooking that’s for sure and it will be great for them to learn independence in the kitchen.

  23. Oldmamma 12/05/2021 at 4:41 pm

    My home has 2 adults and 2 children who will love something one night and refuse to eat it the next. I start my work day at 2:30am, so when it’s dinner time and the kids put on their fussy attitude, I just wanna pack my bag and run away. Trialing this would make my awake hours so much more stress free.

  24. Kiwimama2b1g 12/05/2021 at 4:38 pm

    My family and I would love to trial the 4 person bargain box – I think this would be a great way to get my teens more involved in the evening meals

  25. Jaqui 12/05/2021 at 4:37 pm

    Oh wow this would be amazing to trial. We are a family of three, with both parents working full time and very often time poor! We however value and place importance on nutritious food.

    We would love to try Bargain Box, one for the convenience and two to add some variety to meals, but ensuring they are family/child friendly. I note that some other food kit companies, although look amazing, may not have meals suited to a child with a still developing palate.
    I hear great things about Bargain box!

    Would be really happy to receive the 2 person option.

    Many thanks

    • jonre679 12/05/2021 at 9:13 pm

      My family of 4 would love to trial Bargain Box Choice. My kids would be so happy to choose what they get to eat for the week and they love to help in the kitchen. It would be a great time saver and help us get a nutritious dinner on the table for the family.

    I would like to take part in reviewing the 4 person option as we are a 2 adult 2 teens family. I have never tried any of these types of meal kits before. I have a new job which is shift work and have found it a struggle to have time and energy to prepare nutritious and tasty meals for us all. I would love to trial this for 5 nights and will happily provide photos of our meals and honest feed back on how I get on. I will register with bargainbox.co.nz. Thanks for the opportunity, I’m really keen to trial this.

  28. Donna 12/05/2021 at 4:35 pm

    We would love to try the 4 person bargain box. We have been watching the Eat Well for Less program and my 11 year old daughter suggested that we each take turns cooking dinner, after seeing the teenagers cooking in the first weeks episode.
    This is our second week of attempting our new routine (which I am loving!) but everyone is a little stuck for meal ideas. This would be perfect as looking at the types of meals they provide, my children could easily follow these recipes (with a bit of help from Mum and Dad if needed). They also look like meals that the whole family would all enjoy. I think it would give them a lot more confidence in the kitchen and it would be a huge help with our busy weeknight after school activities schedule.

    • Jade081 12/05/2021 at 6:00 pm

      I would love to try a box for 4 people please! Im looking for some meal inspiration and find it hard to juggle work, kids and trying to get a decent meal on the table. I think something like this would be awesome to try and see if it works.

  29. Claireichert 12/05/2021 at 4:30 pm

    Would absolutely love to give Bargain Box a try – we have 2 young boys. Would love to try something new, and different, they complain almost every night that the meals I make are boring!!!! so would be nice to have a change for all of us. Love the idea of using fresh produce, a lot of what we use currently is frozen, pre packaged, and lacks the goodness the kids need.

    • JadeW 12/05/2021 at 9:52 pm

      Would love to try this for my family of 4. We know what a struggle it is for our babies to eat dinner because of snacking in the afternoons but, we think different meals could be that change for them. We as a family have decreased our intake of meat so would love alternatives and vegetarian meals!!!! would be awesome to be apart of this review.

    Serves 2 .. wanna try this bargain box bcoz its new thing for me and seems healthy options too

    • zackandemiliasmummy 12/05/2021 at 7:50 pm

      My family would live to try out a bargain box as have yet to work out if its the right fit for us. But love the idea of quick easy meals and lots of variety.
      The serves 4 would be perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids.
      Anything to make meal times easier would be a win in our house!
