    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

      Wow, What a great idea to trial vege box.
      A. I would love to trial Serves 4.
      B. This would be a great opportunity to increase our range of ideas for using veges and help our family to create more meat free meals during the week while filling us with nutritious tasty meals. I would also love this to help get the children into the kitchen and learning to be more creative and for them to be able to create a meal themselves following clear instructions.

    2. Cheri 12/06/2020 at 8:31 pm

      4 serves please. My family would love to eat less meat but Im stuck for ideas. We’re a busy family that love trying new things our our two girls love helping in the kitchen.

    3. Purpleducks1 12/06/2020 at 8:21 pm

      Would love to try this vege box for our family,
      We try to do 1-2 vege meals a week, this would be amazing
      Simple easy to follow recipes, with new idea of meals
      We are ot big eaters so the box for 2 would be plenty
      Many thanks

    4. Moggiecat 12/06/2020 at 8:18 pm

      Our family would love to try this bargain box veggie please for 2. We have have not tried any delivered boxes of this kind before and would be great to be considered for the trial. My 17 month old girl has a great appetite and trying different foods. I am interested in having a a variety of meal ideas to supplement what we already cook and especially if it makes it easier for two working parents. Happy to share photos if I am selected for this review. Thanks!

    5. Nictre 12/06/2020 at 8:16 pm

      Would love to try for four please. We are needing some new ideas for meals as seem to go for the same ones all the time and a meal kit like this would have some great examples that hopefully the whole family would enjoy!

    6. CreativeMum 12/06/2020 at 8:16 pm

      Would really love to try this – two adults and one child. My three year old son is incredibly fussy when it comes to veges so I would love the inspiration to try some new ideas. I also used to be a vegetarian many years ago(!) and would love to return to a less meat-based diet but think it may take some yummy meals to convince the husband! Have always wanted to try Bargain Box – so this might be a good way to see if it works for us 🙂

    7. HannahC1 12/06/2020 at 8:12 pm

      Yes please,
      My little family of three would love to trial vege bargain box.
      Myself, husband and four year old son.
      My son attends a kindy that serves only vegetarian meals and he loves them.
      Introduced a few vege meals with ideas from meat free may that were online and would love to continue. Nadia Lim has some great recipes and would be nice to get a few more meat free meal ideas.

    8. Joys 12/06/2020 at 8:09 pm

      I would be keen to trial the Veggie Box for 2 please . I have never tried these but wondered if it would be a good option so this would be a great way to find out and add more colour and variety to our diet.

    9. Ashleah 12/06/2020 at 8:04 pm

      We would love to trial the vege box! I am very interested in vegetarian cooking at the moment and I love giving my toddler healthy and nourishing meals! This would be perfect to try out and gain some more meal ideas 😊.

    10. nikki 12/06/2020 at 7:56 pm

      We would love to try the family box for 4 please. We are always looking for nutritious meals for the family that everyone would love and I get so lost when looking at vegetarian dishes but would love to experiment. I love that the box sounds easy enough for mr 11 to make, he is learning about cooking. I think this would be a great opportunity to explore new recipes and take the hassle out of shopping. I have always been hesitant about box deliveries as your not picking the ingredients yourself your relying on someone else to choose fresh ingredients etc.

    11. rebeccacurgenven 12/06/2020 at 7:49 pm

      Hi I would be really keen to try this please… in the household there are 2 adults and a toddler and we really need to up our vege intake!! I’m pretty useless with vegetarian meals so hoping this box would give me some confidence and inspiration!! 😀

    12. Jay 12/06/2020 at 7:48 pm

      Our family would.love to.try the box for 4 people, I love making vegetarian meals and some more inspiration would be great and handy to not have to think about it especially with sports starting up.for the kids.

    13. ytsrik 12/06/2020 at 7:43 pm

      I would love to be considered for the trial of a serve two box. My daughter refuses to eat vegetables at home and I want to show her that they can be fun. My husband and I would also eat better to help shed our lockdown kilos.

    14. MrsTafa 12/06/2020 at 7:35 pm

      I would love to try the Vege box as I am always on the lookout for new meals and also reducing meat a couple of times a week will help with the budget! 2 Adults and 1 child.

    15. tcmmum 12/06/2020 at 7:31 pm

      Wow this is would be great for our family to try, we are a busy family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) who get a little stuck on the same old when it comes to vegetables, this would be great to branch out, try new flavors and recipes all in a quick time saving way! 🙂

    16. Miss_Laloli 12/06/2020 at 7:21 pm

      We would love to try this because we’ve never tried a programme like this before, we’re a bit nervous so this would be ideal! I’ve just started back at work after a magical year off with our first baby. A box like this could be really helpful to relieve some of the stresses of being a working mum! We’d like to try the box for 2 if selected. Promise to give a fair and thought out review with photos! Thanks guys!

    17. Ameliap2018 12/06/2020 at 7:18 pm

      We would love to try this for a family of four. We love meal planning and trying new things. The ease of having it delivered would be fantastic.

    18. Dee.but7 12/06/2020 at 6:52 pm

      I would love to try the Bargain Box Veggie which serves 4 please. I struggle to find healthy food for meals and this sounds perfect. Also I am wanting to use more vegetables than what I do currently and upskill my cooking abilities so my family enjoy our home cooked meals.

    19. Shenugget 12/06/2020 at 6:49 pm

      Wow what an amazing product trial! As a vegetarian this would be a wonderful thing to review. I haven’t ordered food boxes before because I haven’t found anything that doesn’t have meat in. Even though my kids are fussy eaters I love that they help me cook vegetable based dishes.

    20. Dees 12/06/2020 at 6:47 pm

      Love to try this Bargin Box . We are a busy household by the time we get home after work and school it’s after 5 and this would be fantastic to know what’s for tea for the week. Sees for 4 please.

    21. nsimpson 12/06/2020 at 6:44 pm

      I would love to try this! I’m always keen to make our meals more plant based, and the meal kits sound so appealing as most of the planning/thinking has been done for me. I’ve got two kiddos and a husband to feed, so the serves 4 option would work perfectly for my hungry hordes 🤣

    22. emmap 12/06/2020 at 6:40 pm

      Would Really Love to try the Vege Box for 4 please. We have been adding meatless meals twice a week but have a family member staying long term and is meal free so would ne great to give this a go to see if it suits us. Thanks for the opportunity.

    23. Amerie11 12/06/2020 at 6:28 pm

      We would love to trial the Bargain Box Veggie for 4 people. We haven’t tried one of these boxes before. Living on a farm we can be outside till late feeding animals. This would so helpful as the meals look easy, delicious and don’t take up much time. Eating less meat is one of our goals this year. We would be truly grateful to receive this in our house. Thank you

    24. samara 12/06/2020 at 6:16 pm

      My family of 6 would love to try this out. We have recently moved to try mainly vegetarian for cost and health reasons and often struggle to find good or new ideas. Also back at school and all busy at work often means the motivation and time is lacking! IT would be awesome to see if I can convince the meat focussed members that a vege option can be more tasty!

    25. Michelle 12/06/2020 at 5:54 pm

      I would love to try the Veggie Box for 4, please. Firstly, we are actively trying to reduce our meat consumption and would really appreciate some tasty veggie options that the whole family would enjoy. Also, as a busy household with both parents working full time, trying to organize healthy and nutritious meals can be hard and this would really help lighten the load!

    26. KarenVivar 12/06/2020 at 5:54 pm

      We would love to try and review the vegie box please for my family of 3. We would love to try eating more of plant based meals daily and this will be a good start for us and easy for busy mum and dad like us.

    27. keades13 12/06/2020 at 5:44 pm

      I would love to trial the Serves 4 option. I find it extremely difficult to get veges into 2 of my children, I often have to come up with creative ways to hide them in meals or make them appealing. One of my children has autism so some tastes and textures are difficult for him, but I’d love new options to try, as if I can find just one meal that is a success it would be a game changer for us.

    28. ZLadbrooke 12/06/2020 at 5:42 pm

      We would absolutely love to try a Serves 4 Bargain Box Veggie. As a family we have been trying to reduce our meat consumption and introducing new foods to our two boys (8 and 2). This seems like such a great opportunity to do both of these things. Being chosen, I would be able to give an honest review from toddler to child and from a hardworking hungry man too.

    29. Jenz19 12/06/2020 at 5:40 pm

      Would love to try the 4 person and learn some new vegetarian meals to add to our weekly menu.

    30. Mummyof3 12/06/2020 at 5:36 pm

      I’d love to try the 4 serve box. I’ve been meaning to try one of these meal kits for a while but wasn’t sure which to try. As I’m working, I love easy meals that are quick to get in the table for the 3 kids after getting them home from school and daycare. This would be the perfect opportunity to try one if them and see of it really does make that rush after work easier to manage. It would also give us a chance to try new recipes and not just stick to the same old quick meals.
