    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

      Food boxes are such a great way to get kids interested in cooking and they take away the emotional labour of deciding what to cook. We are an all veggie family and we love to try new recipes. For 4 please!

    2. rliavaa 12/06/2020 at 5:30 pm

      I would love to try the veggie box for 4. I am a vegetarian but my family still eat a lot of meat. With 3 young boys under 5y it has been a challenge trying to win them over when it comes to veggies – my creativity it running low when it comes to make veggies fun & delicious for them so I would love to try this out!

    3. Tuistar5 12/06/2020 at 5:28 pm

      Would love to try the serves 4 bargain box veggie. We are always trying to incorporate some meat free meals but often struggle with ideas of what to make. This would be such a great option for us.

    4. mermaid32 12/06/2020 at 5:28 pm

      Our family would love to try the 4 serves veggie box! It would be great to get the kids excited about veggies, and hopefully incorporate more non meat meals into our dinners each week, for health and financial reasons! Plus, it would be so wonderful if my extremely fussy 6 year old was inspired to actually eat some veges by these delicious looking recipes – I worry that he doesn’t get all the nutrients he needs!

    5. MamiRo 12/06/2020 at 5:25 pm

      We would be super keen for this! As a busy family of 4 it is hard finding new ideas to get veggies into my little ones. My 3 year old is great at eating but my 10 month old not so much. Bargain box has always had great flavours so they may just have a meal that my youngest will devour.

    6. Hlesnz 12/06/2020 at 5:18 pm

      I would absolutely love to trial this! 2 person box for myself and 2 young children.. if chosen and enjoyed I would recommend to all the families at the daycare I manage. Over 120 families 💚

    7. Alison Spencer 12/06/2020 at 5:14 pm

      Serves 2 option please. My family have been trying to eliminate meat from our diets . Mainly for health reasons and because meat is so expensive. So this trial would be perfect. Also Nadia Lim is so generous with donating 100% profits from her book sales. Well done.

    8. emma30 12/06/2020 at 5:13 pm

      We would love to try the Bargin box veggie option for four. I have been quite curious to try a bargin box as I get so tired of trying to figure out what to cook every night for my family. This seems like such a convenient idea and a great way to get more vegetables into my families diet.

    9. Jen_Wiig 12/06/2020 at 5:10 pm

      Wow yes please would love to have the opportunity along with my eldest son of 3 Roman (14) to trial a serves 2 vege bargain box please. Roman for the longest time like me has often felt not too well after eating meat so we recently opted to go vegetarian fulltime and its made a huge difference already, what I do struggle with is variety and ideas of dinners for us so this would be just amazing to try out and then on a regular basis include as a regular shop for us. We are both more than happy to take pics, videos and share our experiences with it and would also give me an opportunity to teach him se life skills by learning to cook

    10. neenykav 12/06/2020 at 5:05 pm

      We are a family of four and looking for a way to introduce more veggies and less meat into our weekly meals. I feel quote limited in my cooking and would love to glimpse into the life of bargain box meals.

    11. marshs2 12/06/2020 at 5:03 pm

      Would love to add more veggies into the family diet. It would be great to have ideas and recipes. I get so stuck on ideas and I google but I still struggle need to have a box with recipes. Serves 4

    12. Marristep 12/06/2020 at 4:57 pm

      We would love to get a box for four people please! Have been leaning towards more vegetarian options in our household and are very keen to learn some new recipes 😍

    13. Gemma Bergin 12/06/2020 at 4:56 pm

      We would love to try the Vege Box for 4 (we are a family of 7 – but littlies and I’m sure it would stretch!) What an amazing way to get more veges into their diet!!! Thanks 🙂

    14. Samhoogie 12/06/2020 at 4:55 pm

      We would love to be apart of this trial. The serve 4 box would be perfect for us as a family of 2 adults and 3 children. We love trying new recipes and flavors. Would be great to get some more veges into the kids

    15. Kate Verry 12/06/2020 at 4:52 pm

      We are a family of 5, but have found that there is enough food in the boxes that feed 4 to feed us all. We haven’t tried the vege box but would love to eat more vegetarian dishes as we have 1 child who doesn’t particularly enjoy meat. There has also been alot of publicity lately re eating more vegetarian meals, eating less meat and so I’m wondering if there might be something in that re our health. Eating more vegetarian could help us save some money each weektoo, which I’m sure would be a bonus for anyone, particularly in these times after covid. The ideas that can come from bargain box, and I assume the vege box, would be great going forward with other recipes too 😍

      Hi I would love to try the veggie box for two please. My husband and I have a five year old and a 7 month old so we are pretty busy and this would help us to have healthy easy meals without having to go to the supermarket! Our five year old doesn’t eat veggies so it would be great to make some tasty meals and convince him to give them a try!
      Thanks Emma

    17. Tansy 12/06/2020 at 4:47 pm

      I’d love to trial the box for 4 people please. It would be a great way to get inspiration for vege dishes, and to get more veges into the kids

    18. Motheroffour 12/06/2020 at 4:42 pm

      I would love to trial the serve four. My kids can be funny about veges this could be a great way to get them involved and maybe trying new things. Also very convenient for me.

    19. courtneyevans91 12/06/2020 at 4:41 pm

      We would love to trial the box that serves 4. I have been consciously looking into recipes to cook an enjoyable meat free meal at least once or twice a week and I’m especially keen to try more yummy recipes that will convince hubby he doesn’t always need meat for an amazing tasting meal! Miss 2 is a keen helper with me in the kitchen so I’m sure she would love to trial this with me.

    20. Seankeane 12/06/2020 at 4:37 pm

      Yes please I would love to review for my family of five. I am always trying to get more verges into my kids and this would give me some more ideas. Serves 4 would be fantastic to try please

    21. Rhian 12/06/2020 at 4:35 pm

      Would absolutely LOVE to try the Bargain Box for 2 please for me, hubby and our 3 year old. We’ve been talking about eating less meat and eating more vege meals instead for a little while now but I’m in desperate need of some vege meal inspiration – I’m so used to cooking meals with meat that I dont know where to start!

    22. Shawniedalton 12/06/2020 at 4:32 pm

      We would love to try the (serves 4) vege bargain box! Our family isn’t huge on meat but struggle to come up with yummy meals without meat as the main part of the meal! So this would be wonderful to try, I’ve been looking into some sort of food box delivered to the door, perfect trial!

    23. Rebecca-Amy Muir 12/06/2020 at 4:31 pm

      I would love to trial the 4 serve veggie bargain box. I have tried another meal box service before and although it was good, I didn’t feel it quite lived up to the hype (or the price!). Incorporating more vegetables into our diets is extremely important but with 2 fussy kids, an even fussier carnivorous husband and working fulltime, the right of deciding what to buy and cook is often enough to just give in to the fussiness!

    24. Bigam4 12/06/2020 at 4:30 pm

      Would love to try a box the feeds a family of 4 please. Desperate to get more nutritious meals into my family – especially my 5 year old son as he loathes vegetables . Am hoping with a vege box there will be some yummy and easy to follow meals we can all enjoy.

    25. Helga88 12/06/2020 at 4:29 pm

      I am keen to try a veggie box for 4 .. have been actively cooking more veggie dishes and introducing more variety of veggies into our meals.. biggest obstacle is ways to cook in a super yum manner and I feel that’s where Bargain Box can help me .. what a wonderful way for more healthy eating for the whanau

    26. pamperkins 12/06/2020 at 4:28 pm

      I would love to trial the Serves 4! With four kids it can sometimes be hard to get them to eat enough veges. I’m definitely in need of some inspiration to make meals for exciting and tasty!

    27. vanessawhite 12/06/2020 at 4:26 pm

      I would love my family to trial the new Bargain Box Veggie, that serves 4, as I would get my family to try new products instead of mash potato and mixed veges, and also help create new meals

    28. Katrob 12/06/2020 at 4:24 pm

      I’d love to try out the Serves 2 option for myself and my toddler! Neither of us are really meat eaters, so this would be perfect!

    29. Larrissa15 12/06/2020 at 4:23 pm

      Wow we would love to try the serves 4 veggie box! We love to have meat free meals and have a few on our “meal roster” so some new ideas would be great especially with a 2 year old and 5 year old!

    30. michele 12/06/2020 at 4:21 pm

      We would very much like to try the vege box for four please. I am always interested in introducing some easy and nutritious vegetarian meals into our diet where possible. Some members of the family are dedicated carnivores and this would hopefully assist in changing their minds to some extent!.

      Thank you
