    Introducing the new Bargain Box Veggie!

    Family food box favourites, My Food Bag, have just launched a Bargain Box Veggie option! That’s great news for those of us who are choosing meat-free meals – and for those of us who would like to expand our veggie meals repertoire!

    Even better news – new Bargain Box Veggie is the cheapest meal-kit in the My Food Bag family.

    Family favourite recipes at bargain prices

    The Bargain Box kitchen team have created meals that include plenty of veggies, easy-to-follow instructions and tastes the whole family will love. The recipes feature a variety of vegetarian protein sources including eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts/seeds. A typical three-meal week will have one recipe with bread or pasta, once recipe with potatoes or kumara and one recipe with rice or couscous – however this will vary week to week and recipe to recipe.

    Like all My Food Bag products, Bargain Box Veggie is crammed with local seasonal produce. Ninety eight per cent of the fresh ingredients are sourced in New Zealand, with My Food Bag supporting more than 100 big and small suppliers across the country,

    Recipes are simple enough that they can be whipped up in a flash at the end of a busy day, or organise your teens to cook once a week – you’ll get the night off and they’ll learn essential life skills. Designed to help families enjoy more time together in the kitchen and around the table, Bargain Box Veggie takes the stress out of making delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals at an affordable price.

    Bargain Box Veggie options

    Bargain Box Veggie is available for three nights per week and comes in two sizes:

    • Serves 2: Great for a couple, or two adults with a young child, or
    • Serves 4: Feeds four adults, or two adults and three kids

      Our family would really love to try out the Bargain Box Veggie serves 4 box. We are an environmentally conscious and relatively frugal family, so have been trying to incorporate at least two veggie meals into our diet each week. However, with two little ones under the age of five, coming up with new and interesting ideas whilst still keeping to a reasonable budget is tough. The Bargain Box veggie seems like it could be the perfect fit for our family, allowing us to create new and exciting veggie recipes which the whole family would love, and for a reasonable price, all delivered to our door. I also hope I would be able to get both of my girls involved in the cooking with me a little more. Currently most nights I am throwing ingredients into a pan, leaving little space for the kids to be truly helpful. With these being pre-planned meals I would be free to start teaching them some basic cooking skills which will hopefully stay with them for the rest of their lives. We would really love to give this box a try out to see if it could be the answer to all of our kitchen conundrums.

      Would love to try this!! Serves 4 please 🤞😁

    3. Peneh 12/06/2020 at 2:46 pm

      This would be an awesome trial to take part in. Our family has always been a meat and three veges kiwi whanau and this would be a great way to bring some change and have some meatless nights. We would love to try the family box for 4. Thank you !!

    4. Ruzan 12/06/2020 at 2:46 pm

      Family of 4 here so serves 4 will be such an amazing opportunity. I am trying to feed kids as healthy as possible and of course veggies are so important for nourishing diet. This box seems to be lifesaver for busy parents, we’d love to try and give our honest opinion. Thanks for the opportunity

    5. spap006 12/06/2020 at 2:46 pm

      Apologies for missing this-we would be looking at the serves 4 box.

    6. ChristineC 12/06/2020 at 2:45 pm

      We would love to trial this, our daughter has decided she is vegetarian so we are trying to find family meals we all enjoy. We could do with some help lol.
      Hubby and I have also spoken about trying to reduce our meat intake so this could be a great solution.
      We would probably do the serves 2 as we have 2 adults and one child so I think that would be perfect for us.
      Thanks.

    7. spap006 12/06/2020 at 2:45 pm

      We would love to give this a go as we are trying to look at different ways to extend the types to veges our girls are eating. As there are certain meat dishes that my girls don’t like, having some new vegetarian options would be useful. It would be also good for my husband and I to put our money where our mouths are and be willing to try new dishes since we expect our daughters to do so.

    8. Susanmoka 12/06/2020 at 2:43 pm

      Would love to try serves 4 pack because it would be perfect to make meals for my 3 children with vegetables in it

    9. Robmel 12/06/2020 at 2:43 pm

      This would probably be one of the best trials I have seen! What a fabulous opportunity!
      We are a family of 5 so the serves 4 box would suit us and we would love to give it a go.
      With three young boys I feel as though I am ALWAYS in the kitchen and come meal planning day – our meals seem to be on rotation 😕 I would love to get my “zing” of cooking a family meal back rather than just trying to feed my brood as quick as possible in the hopes they all eat it with no complaints. On the days where I work night shift my creativity when it comes to dinner is non existent. Bargain Box Veggies might just add some extra fab meals to my repertoire that I’m sure my family would only be to happy to taste!

    10. sarahlee 12/06/2020 at 2:43 pm

      This would be awesome to try.
      I know we as a family do not eat enough vegetables so would be such a good way for us to try get more into the kids.
      I would love the feeds 2 box.

      Thank you

    11. Timmi6981 12/06/2020 at 2:43 pm

      We would love to try this! Normally we can’t afford to try something like this! We are a family of 4 and would love to try 4 serving nights! We mainly eat veggie based meals with little or no meat so this would help us out too!!

    12. Jenna01 12/06/2020 at 2:43 pm

      Yes please our family of four would love
      To trial a bargain box
      I admit i haven’t yet tried the delivery meal boxes out of fear of spending the money and not being happy
      Our family love to get our 5+ a day
      The meals look great and well I find I’m a busy mum these days would be nice to have no rush plans for meal time

    13. Calista 12/06/2020 at 2:42 pm

      Serves 4 please. We are a family of 4 and the kids usually just pick out the meat from their plates and would not even try any of it. It would be great for us as a family to try a week or two with no meat at all and instead meals that are completely made with vegetables.

    14. mizim 12/06/2020 at 2:42 pm

      Serves 4 option.

      I’d love to trial this as it sounds like some easy to follow, delish recipies. I’m trying to encourage the kids to help cook with me, and this would be an easy way to follow a recipe for them, with my help.
      Also, as a predominantly vegetarian household, I have shied away from boxes such as this due to costs and being unsure if they’re worth the $ in the long run.
      Added to that, having a special needs kiddo means I’m not always full of enough energy to put effort into cooking a big meal, this might solve that problem.

    15. jodi22j 12/06/2020 at 2:42 pm

      Would love to trial this for the 4 person. Be so nice not having to think about what to have for dinner just have it there for you to make. Always keen to try new recipes too. Be so good and also get the kids involved with the prep

    16. VionaG 12/06/2020 at 2:42 pm

      Wow, this would be awesome. Would love to try serve 4 please for our family ( currently 4 adults and 3 young kids at home). I would love for my kids to eat more vegies but I’m struggle to make something they like. I have heard Bargain Box before but never try it. Would love to give it a go and see if this is the answer to improve our healthy diet. Thank you for the chance 🙂

    17. curse10b 12/06/2020 at 2:41 pm

      We would love to try the serves 4 please.
      I’d like to try this as price can sometimes be a barrier to purchasing bargain boxes, so if this is the cheapest that’s a great start. As a family we are trying to introduce more fresh into our diet and less convenience, it would be great to learn some vege dishes as this is where I feel we need the most inspiration!
      We have 3 vegetarians in our extended family that I’m sure would be very interested in what we would be cooking and it might take the hassle out of joint family dinners!

    18. Ginelle 12/06/2020 at 2:41 pm

      Yes please the serves 4 option, I would love to try get more Veges into my 4 children as it can be a struggle sometimes and a charge it just what we need right now as I am sick of the same meals all the time

    19. Chaosnz82 12/06/2020 at 2:40 pm

      This would be amazing. We are trying to incorporate some more meat free meals so some new ideas would be awesome. Would need a serves 4 🙂

    20. Tscott 12/06/2020 at 2:39 pm

      I’d love to try Bargain box Veggie for 4. I’d like to do a few nights a week of veggie based meals, but struggle to find filling and interesting options. This would be fantastic. Thanks!

    21. ShonaRussell 12/06/2020 at 2:39 pm

      Yes please we would love to trial this. We would like the box that serves 4. I would love to get more vegies into our family diet and this would be a great way of doing so. I always struggle with what to do with vegies.

    22. Tara Wyatt 12/06/2020 at 2:38 pm

      Would love to be part of this trial! We would need a box that serves 4 for our family. We have 2 children. Our son has autism and sensory issues, but after a dietician consultation, we’ve started to introduce healthier options and so far so good! Would love to try a box and see if it works for us!

    23. jude21 12/06/2020 at 2:38 pm

      I would love to try the new Bargain Box Veggie-serves 4. I have given up eating meat and would love to cook some delicious veggie meals for the family. Sometimes we get busy & healthy choices would be a lot easier if we had Bargain Box.

    24. Katnaylan 12/06/2020 at 2:37 pm

      We would love to try a feed 4 box. It would be a great way to get some veges into our 2 boys and get them to help us in the kitchen.

    25. shellv 12/06/2020 at 2:37 pm

      Yes please Kidspot! We would love to trial the Bargain Box Vegie Serve 4 meal kit. I’m always looking for tasty new veg recipes to tempt my partner and two girls, and would really love some new inspiration for winter. We have never tired a meal kit subscription before, but I think would definitely take the stress out of dinner planning and prep on our busiest nights of the week. Plus it would be great to be able to serve up some local seasonal produce and alternate protein options too!

    26. Quintelle 12/06/2020 at 2:37 pm

      Hi, kidspot, would love to try the serve 4 pack. So i can get 4 kids on veggies. Supporting local and eating homemade healthy, yum…

    27. Allecia Crawford 12/06/2020 at 2:37 pm

      We are a family of 4, I have been trying to add a meat free meal each week, this would be great for new ideas and to increase the meat free meals each week and to get the Kids eating more vegetables in different ways.

    28. Pamela Walker 12/06/2020 at 2:37 pm

      Would love to try your products for 2 please. Too cold and wet to be in the garden at our age.
      thank you

    29. Rach1988 12/06/2020 at 2:36 pm

      Would love to be on this trial for the box that Serves 4

      We have been doing more plant based meals as my 13 year old has expressed an interest in trying more vege based meals and we are trying to be health conscious.

      We have a 1 year old too and more veges is always good!

    30. Micht 12/06/2020 at 2:36 pm

      We would love to be selected for a serving of 4… we are actively trying to eat healthy as my husband had a heart attack just 2 weeks before lockdown and we would like to support this new lifestyle and change of diet together…
      It would also help with ideas for further grocery shopping too.
