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.

    Wow what an awesome trial this would be! We are a family of 2 adults and 3 children with one of my kids being extremely fussy. I am always keen to try new foods/meal options that are family friendly but also still super tasty for us adults.
    We would love to trial the feeds 4 for 5 nights please 😁

  2. Katrob 13/05/2021 at 12:17 pm

    As a single Mum who works full time this would be an absolute life saver! Trying to think up meal ideas to feed my son is another job on the list. This would make life much easier 🙂

  3. Amandy 13/05/2021 at 12:17 pm

    We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids under 5)
    We have moved out of our house for a few months while we renovate and would love the chance of having some meals decided for us during this time to make dinner time less expensive.
    I love cooking and also let the kids join in.

  4. ajrees23 13/05/2021 at 12:17 pm

    This would be so amazing for our family to have the 4 person box .
    It would make dinner easier after a busy day on the farm and help change up the food ideas for our fussy wee ones.

  5. MDCrump 13/05/2021 at 12:17 pm

    I’d love to try the 4 person box for my family, especially with a 6 year old girl who’s all of a sudden become fussy, thinking of meal ideas is doing my head in!

  6. hannah whitlow 13/05/2021 at 12:17 pm

    Yes please would love to try the 4 person option for our family of 5. Meal times are so busy in our home with a baby and 2 primary aged kids 6 and 5. Would love to try to encourage kids to try more food options as our oldest is autistic and we are trying to get him to help with food prep to encourage to try more food choices aswell as my husband who’s abit fussy too.

  7. Dorofeeva 13/05/2021 at 12:17 pm

    We would live to be a part of this awesome trial, both my husband and 2 year old have become such picky eaters that i now bsolutely dread meal times.
    Pre baby we did sign up to bargain box, however due to my husband’s picky eating a lot of the meals didn’t get made, it would be great to try the choice box as I’m super keen to get back on the ‘happy mealtimes’ bandwagon, especially with another baby on the way.

  8. firewoman76 13/05/2021 at 12:16 pm

    I would love to try the 6 person family box! We are a big busy family with fussy kids bored with the everyday meal ideas at home & would love abit of inspiration! We have tried HelloFresh and thought the concept was excellent, but the kids didn’t like most of it. I feel this is more up our alley as more down to earth. The Bain of my existence is constantly having to stress planning meals so it would be a massive bonus being able to give this company a try. Brilliant way to try a new company as there’s quite afew out there now & I’d love one that would work for us. Thanks

    We would love to try the Bargain box as a family of 5 me and husband both work full time as well as study full time. Thus would help ease the pressure of having a healthy easy dinner every night.

  10. Nikkib90 13/05/2021 at 12:16 pm

    WOW this would be amazing to trial! We are a family of 4 with two boys ages 9 & 11. They both like being in the kitchen and what a great way to get them to take some responsibility and direction with the evening meals. We have sports 5 days a week after school with games on the weekend so our time is limited and I love to have a plan in place.
    We would love to give Bargain Box a try to see if it makes our mealtimes easier, gets the boys more involved in all aspects of preparing, cooking and enjoying and we find new delicious meals to add to our usual go to options. Thanks for the opportunity, we would ensure honest reviews and photos of all steps along the way.

  11. lynnhoffmeister@yahoo.com 13/05/2021 at 12:15 pm

    I would love to trial this. As a family of 2 adults and 2 primary school aged kids and a busy work life, this will give us some balance. It will also
    Hopefully alleviate some of the brutally honest comments from a 7 and 9 year old when dinner is served and give us a well deserved break from meal prepping!
    We’d like to be considered for a bargain box for four review and in return I can guarantee some good feedback. Thanks Lynn

    It would be an absolute honor to be selected to review a bargain box. I have been avidly weighing options whether to invest in a subscription in food boxes or not still am unsure. I am a family of 6 so thus would come in handy. But it would help in my decision. Helping with meal ideas making it more varied. Allsorts to weigh in. But it would be lovely to be selected.

  13. jemc320 13/05/2021 at 12:14 pm

    We would like to trial meal boxes because our toddler is becoming a fussy eater. I am starting to run out of ideas. My husband and I work fulltime and it would be nice to prepare something quick but healthy meals. Would love to trial the 4 person box please!

  14. katpbqueen 13/05/2021 at 12:14 pm

    It would be amazing for my family to participate in this trial. We are a busy family of six, (2 busy parents) and 4 kids in primary and secondary school. As a Mum, I work full time and usually go shopping for groceries during my break and sometimes because of this, I miss out on having a decent meal during my break. Bargain box would give me the opportunity to experiment with yummy recipes for my fussy kids and allow us to have nourishing meals. Since buying fresh, high quality produce can be difficult, it would be awesome to get the freshest seasonal NZ produce delivered to us. Cooking is my stress reliever and I love taking photos of food to share with my friends and whanau

  15. Sdunkley 13/05/2021 at 12:14 pm

    Yes please this would be an amazing opportunity with 3 boys! Would love to try the 6 person box!

    • Sdunkley 13/05/2021 at 12:20 pm

      Oops! Looks like we would need the 4 person one ☺️☺️

  16. pipashlee 13/05/2021 at 12:13 pm

    I would love to try this. Always looking for new meal ideas that my son will try but its a bit hard where we live as we have limited options for shopping locally.

  17. lovejoy900 13/05/2021 at 12:13 pm

    I would love to try this for my family of 4. I have always wanted to try one of the food boxes but have never got around to it as I’m not too sure which one to try it would make life so much easier for dinner as both me and my husband work and our boys are 4 and 1. Plus it’s my birthday next week haha

  18. Millzy86 13/05/2021 at 12:13 pm

    As a Mum of 2 children and a fulltime student this could be a great option for when time poor for meal preparation
    Especially if are interesting/interactive kid friendly meals providing meal planning to take stress out of the weekly shopping

  19. Shelley808 13/05/2021 at 12:13 pm

    We would love to trial this offer. We are two adults and 2 children so would like to try the 4 person one. We tried hello fresh and although great was way too expensive for a family so would like to try this out. Thanks!

  20. Jtnz 13/05/2021 at 12:12 pm

    We’ve never tried a Bargain Box so would love the opportunity to trial this product! It would be great to try the 4 person option with my husband and two daughters (9 and 7) to get a bit more variety in our meals and to help with meal planning with the busyness of work, school and after school activities!

  21. jemc320 13/05/2021 at 12:12 pm

    We would like to trial meal boxes because our toddler is becoming a fussy eater. I am starting to run out of ideas. My husband and I work fulltime and it would be nice to prepare something quick but healthy meals. Would love to try this.

  22. mumjess 13/05/2021 at 12:12 pm

    Wow! This would be amazing to trial, the choice factor is such a great idea! I really would appreciate trying the fish and some vege meals as I am looking for healthy ways to add fish to our diet and also that all the kids would enjoy!
    We would want to trail the 6 person box as we have a family of 7. I think it would be plenty though as the 2 littlies are small and wouldn’t eat a whole portion each.
    It would be great to get my older children involved in the prep and I think it would be easier for us all than trying to get the information out of my head!

  23. hellosundaydreams 13/05/2021 at 12:12 pm

    Would love to give this food box a go as I am struggling to come up with new and eats to make dinner ideas and with a clingy two year old that wants my attention, would love to be back on pre-prepared meal plans!

  24. melvermaak 13/05/2021 at 12:12 pm

    We would love to trial the 2 person box. Trying to juggle 2 part time jobs, full time study and a fussy 4 yr old that only attends preschool 3 days doesn’t leave a lot of time to think of yummy dinners. My partner and I kind of got stuck in a rut and end up making the same 4 or 5 dishes over and over. And did I mention fussy 4 year old? It’s so difficult to get him to eat anything.

  25. AmandaAsma 13/05/2021 at 12:11 pm

    I would love for our family to be selected for the trial of Bargain Box meals for 4 people. Having just started working again, and with my Fibromyalgia, time and energy are lower than normal, making dinners more difficult to deal with currently. This would help out immensely. My son is also becoming more fussy with meat, so alternatives would be awesome. Thank you

  26. Emilz 13/05/2021 at 12:11 pm

    I’d love to try this. We are a family of 5 (sometimes 6) and I often find myself making 2-3 different meals a night due to very fussy kids. I also think this would be a great opportunity to get my 10 and 8 year olds helping in the kitchen and hopefully by doing that they may actually eat what they help cook. I’d love to try the 6 person option (leftover for lunch, or a nice meal for my mum) for 5 nights please

  27. jmac 13/05/2021 at 12:11 pm

    Wow this would be amazing to trial, I have an 8 year old that is extremely fussy and so I feel that we can’t do these meal deals and include him. Planning meals in advance that suit everyone is hard work and it ends up so repetitive, this would be awesome to try. We would love a 4 person box please!

  28. SendCoffee 13/05/2021 at 12:10 pm

    My family would LOVE to try the Bargain Box! My four year old is super fussy with dinners and it’s a constant challenge finding nutritious meals to cook that she will actually eat. I cannot make chicken nuggets 7 nights a week! I’d love to see if these recipes will appeal to her and help to change her eating habits

  29. mdsnhp 13/05/2021 at 12:10 pm

    I’d love a 4 person! I’m a single working mama of two kids. My son is about to undergo heart surgery and it would be a lot easier to cook dinners from bargain box than to prepare dinners otherwise! I’d love tI be considered!

  30. Robmel 13/05/2021 at 12:10 pm

    As a family of 5 we would love to be considered for the 4 family box.
    We have previously used a meal box that starts with H and ends with H. Having a child who is both gluten and dairy free we found that provider to have many meals that were either heavy in gluten or dairy making it quite complex when trying to do suitable “swaps” or alternatives.
    It would be great to give Bargain Box a go as they seem to be more kid friendly and be focused on fresh vegetables.
    Mr. 7 also loves cooking and what a great way to get him involved!
