Tried and tested by Kidspot parents

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.

    I’d love to trial the family of 4. Life is pretty busy as a working single mum, and there is never enough time in the day to cook nutritious meals my boys will eat. These meals look so tasty and easy to prepare.

  2. gungsan0 14/05/2021 at 7:17 pm

    My family ordered Hello Fresh regularly and would like to see different option that Bargain Box Choice offers for kids.
    There are two kids in my family and they love trying new food.

  3. laoshizhu 14/05/2021 at 5:46 pm

    It will be definitely a big release for my hubby (he is in charge of our kitchen at home ; ) ) if we can be in the trial so that he doesn’t need to rack his brains on what for dinner every day and so that we can find out if Bargain Box Choice is a good alternative!

    • laoshizhu 14/05/2021 at 5:47 pm

      Sorry forgot to mention that we have a big family of 6! So we really want to try the 6 person option! : D

  4. Missmuffet 14/05/2021 at 3:52 pm

    Hi we would love to trial the serve 4 option please, have not tried Bargain box before. I am getting tired of thinking of meals to make each night for my family. This way our daughter can cook one or more of the meals with some help from mum. Thank you in advance

  5. bexandpaul 14/05/2021 at 2:18 pm

    This sounds amazing, we are a family of 2 adults and 3 growing boys, so we would need the 6 person box please. I love the idea of the boys making and trying new recipes. They love helping in the kitchen, and having a bargain box will be so exciting for them. I’m also thinking that the ease of the bargain box for me! Less supermarket trips after work to get something for dinner.

  6. amy_hutchings1234 14/05/2021 at 2:08 pm

    Would love the opportunity to win! My 11 year old is just starting to get into cooking and she would love something like this.

  7. angela.strand 14/05/2021 at 1:35 pm

    I would love to be considered. We enjoy making different meals and exposing our two boys to different foods. Using these types of meals would be great for our family, as both my husband and I work full time, we are always looking for healthy and easy meals options!

  8. just_a_tad@hotmail.com 14/05/2021 at 10:19 am

    I would love the chance to try the 4 family. I struggle to find what to make my fussy family. I also would love to become a food critic one day.

  9. Coring 14/05/2021 at 9:51 am

    This is what I am looking for. If chosen I would like to have the 4 persons Bargain Box. With my erratic work schedule, I do not have much time to schedule and prepare a decent and nutritious meal for the family. So, with this I will be able to cooked them delicious and healthy meal options with a faster way of cooking them, saving me time. Thanks a lot.

  10. Nikkid 14/05/2021 at 9:33 am

    Pur family would love to trial the 4 person option please. This would not only help us with new ideas for dinner and get the kids (and adults) eating a variety of food but a week without having to go to the supermarket will put a smile on my face for a very long time!!!
    We have thought about a food delivery but just haven’t been able to justify the cost but would love to try it and if it works and there are happy campers in our house we will look at ways in getting this on a weekly basis.
    Thank you! 🙂

  11. Nursejazz78 14/05/2021 at 7:46 am

    I would love to try this as my 13 and 10 year old sons have really been enjoying cooking with me! I have heard that these recipes are tasty and easy to follow. There are 4 of us 😋

  12. GONZZE 14/05/2021 at 3:12 am

    We would love to review the bargain box the one for 6 people .There is 3 adults a teenager and two children in our family I have thought about getting a bargain box before but thought it would be great to be able to trail the box before you start buying them I like how there is different menus you can choose from and how they make their boxes to feed different size families it’s also great that they come with easy to understand instructions so you know exactly how to cook the meals this would also be a great thing that I could get my teenage daughter to cook for the family so we would definitely love to review the bargain box

  13. Rach779 14/05/2021 at 12:51 am

    Thank you for this opportunity, my daughter and I would love to try Bargain Box Choice as we love food but would love to go healthy and these meals show what your getting! My daughter isn’t a fussy eater and loves to help with our meals which is awesome, I know she loves her fresh fruit and veggies! But I am allergic to fish and seafood so my only downfall but love everything else, this is a great opportunity to look at the great options available 😊 Thank you

    • Rach779 14/05/2021 at 12:54 am

      Sorry 2 person meals please and thank you 😊

  14. WilliamsMummy 13/05/2021 at 11:56 pm

    Hi, I’d love to try this out. I have a wee baby who has special needs and a master 10. I’ve gotten stuck with meal ideas. I’ve tried a few meal kits before however my son just didn’t like Alot of them. An he isn’t fussy. One of the best eaters I know. So I’d love to give this new choice a try. Might be onto something. 🙂

  15. kiwinutter 13/05/2021 at 11:55 pm

    I’d love to be chosen and would use a 4 person box. We do Bargain Box but I can’t see anywhere that says we aren’t allowed to register to be reviewers. Anything to help with the household costs is awesome – we are on a low income and spend a lot of time doing useful things in the community / with our children. Hopefully we can have a chance to be a reviewer. The kids always cook 🙂

  16. VL15 13/05/2021 at 10:37 pm

    I have never tried preparing our meals using meal kits before.

    We are a family of 6 (2 adults + 4 children). I absolutely enjoy preparing home-cooked meals, but dinners seem to repeat themselves after a while, because unfortunately, I am too busy to even think of what to cook.

    I work as a teacher, and also juggle my children’s after-school activities and my husband works long hours, so the prospect of him cooking the weeknight dinner is zero. Teaching is very tiring and by the end of the day, I don’t even have the energy to think of the menu.

    Also, my children are all old enough to help to do the cooking, and I would love for them to pitch in and learn to cook a variety of dishes.

    Perhaps this would be an interesting option, so I would really love to trial this Bargain Box, please! Thank you.

  17. Saltycaramel 13/05/2021 at 10:23 pm

    Love to try this. Trying to eat more as a family. Two adults two kids. Us adults have just joined the gym and with winter coming we dont want to start eating unhealthy plus schedules with work, gym, family time and extracurricular activities is ramping up and the kids need to be well nourished to keep warm. We would live to trial and in the past we havent been fortunate enough to afford but now we are trying to put health and fitness and wellness first which bargain box firs this well

  18. Hayleyk75 13/05/2021 at 9:44 pm

    We are a family of 5 (3 kids)
    I would love to trial this bargain box as I have tried different brands in the past and the kids wouldn’t eat much as the meals were a bit mature for their palette. It would be amazing to find one with meals they would find choice. Then I could use a handy service like this again.
    We would like to trial the 4 meal box please. 🙏Thanks 😊

  19. Esg3 13/05/2021 at 9:32 pm

    This would be great for our little family. I have two boys ( a 6 year old and an 18 month old) and we are a busy household that is in need of some food inspiration and meal ideas.
    Bargain Box would be great to try as it would take the guesswork out of meal time and I think the whole family would appreciate some healthy variety!

  20. Malonina 13/05/2021 at 9:22 pm

    I would love to trial this as I have been looking into food kit options. I used to belong to Hello Fresh a year ago but had to cut down my costs. I would like to try the 6 person option as currently I am staying with my parents with my partner and daughter so it would be interesting to see what everyone thinks of it!

  21. Michelle 13/05/2021 at 8:57 pm

    I would love the opportunity to try the 4 person box. I am a full-time teacher, mum of two, and netball coach. It’s so hard coming home having to prepare a healthy, nutritious meal for the family, let alone deciding what to cook each night. I love the idea of having everything ready for me and having the opportunity to try meals that I would not have previously considered.

  22. shellv 13/05/2021 at 8:51 pm

    Yes please Kidspot, we would love to trial the Bargain Box Choice meal kit!  I’m always looking for tasty new recipes to feed my partner and two girls, and would really love some new inspiration for winter. I love the idea of meal kits, I think it would definitely take the stress out of dinner planning and prep on our busiest nights of the week. It’s great that you can now choose the meals to build your own menu, and be able to try things you might not ordinarily cook. Plus it would be great to serve up some free-range, sustainable and local seasonal meals too!  The 4 person option would be perfect for us to trial please.

  23. CMW 13/05/2021 at 8:51 pm

    I would love to trial Bargain Box Choice’s two-person box for five nights. My seven-year-old son and I have seen the latest ads for it on TV and having new, exciting meals would force me out of my cooking rut of variations on pasta – the variations being the shape of the pasta…

  24. MavisT 13/05/2021 at 8:37 pm

    It can be hard finding a meal that will appeal to 2 adults and 2 children (aged 7 and 3). I would like to try Bargain Box to see how it goes, and as it sounds like a more affordable option than some food boxes that are available if we decided to purchase it in the future.

  25. naenae82 13/05/2021 at 8:36 pm

    Wow the 6person please Oh I’d love my ever growing family to be considered have always thought would this be a good fit etc so love to review with pics an teens pre teens toddlers an adults reviews

    • Rf80 14/05/2021 at 6:32 am

      I would love the chance to try a 3 person box for a few nights to get some more variety, good healthy meals and take the guess work out for me. Life’s busy as a working mum and so hard to think of and cook the right good food for fussy kids. I like the idea of having the food set and easy recipes to follow that will hopefully keep everyone happy.

      • JOVA 14/05/2021 at 10:55 pm

        We would love to trial a Bargin box for 6. We are a busy household with a shiftworker and winter sports can make days hectic. Let alone trying to put something together for dinner.

  26. Wgtnness 13/05/2021 at 8:36 pm

    We would love to trial a Bargain Box Choice for 4 people. We are a super busy family of 5. Our girls who are 14, 12 and 8 are very active and we are out most nights at sport activities. A few of my girls are a bit fussy so choosing the menu together and then having it all arrive on the doorstep would be amazing. We wont need to.stress about what to have for dinner each night. We also are a bit bored with the same meals so this would give us some new recipes and choices 😀

  27. naenae82 13/05/2021 at 8:35 pm

    Oh I’d love my ever growing family to be considered have always thought would this be a good fit etc so love to review with pics an teens pre teens toddlers an adults reviews

  28. Maria 13/05/2021 at 8:17 pm

    We would love to try the 4 person one please for 5 nights. I find it hard to come up with new ideas that suit everyone in our family. My oldest moved back home last year. He has just turned 21 and my youngest is 9, she can bit a bit hit and miss with meals. My husband is a builder and needs substantial meals.

    • justjo_mdk 14/05/2021 at 8:09 pm

      I’d LOVE for my lil family of 2 kids 2 adults to trial the 5 meal bargain box as the meals look diverse and yummy and my kids who are usually fussy would most likely enjoy…. I LOVE how the meals look fuss free and easy to create…. very convenient and alot of variety makes it soooo very enticing…. crossing my fingers for this trial

  29. Amy Tinker 13/05/2021 at 8:15 pm

    I have previously tried bargain box and would be keen to try them again now that there are more choices, this was one reason we paused our subscription was because not all the meals suited our families taste. We would love to try out bargain box choice for 4 people 5 nights!

  30. samara 13/05/2021 at 8:05 pm

    Wither 3 adults and 3 kids, life is busy, full on and a lot of food is consumed. Fuss free, instructed meals would take the hassle of thinking of what to eat whilst also giving the younger members the ability to cook without us telling them everything to do! And they would gain some indepenance! This would also give us great new meal ideas to provide more variety. I have not tried bargain box yet (due to being too busy to sort!!) but always wondered what it would consist of and taste like. SO would be great to try and give our opinion!

    • ChrissyG7 14/05/2021 at 9:09 pm

      I would love to trial bargain box. We are a busy family of 3. Our 7 year old is finally becoming more adventurous with eating new food. This would be the perfect opportunity to learn some new family favourite dinners. He has started to enjoy helping us cook in the evening. Having the menu and recipe cards would be perfect to help involve him more.

    • Annaclyne1 15/05/2021 at 8:46 am

      I would love to be given the opportunity to trial this. I have two children and recently gone back to work. I’d love the investigate ways to reduce stress around dinner times! Thank you
