The "tea" trend........... if I wanted tea, I'd go out and buy tea, I don't so I really would prefer if it wasn't used to take up space in a box. I know that sounds mean and I'm sorry but gosh between the Spinach flavored one in the Goodies Co. box and then because of going with the deluxe box of "Love with Food", not only did I get one of each of the two flavors but I got two of each. So add 2 packs of Indian Spice tea and 2 packs of Spicy Tortilla tea and frankly I'm tea'd out for the month. I might get brave enough to try the Spinach flavored one but I can't eat Spicy foods so the other 4 packs will sit in a dark pantry with the Olives from the Goodies box........ yuck!

I am not a tea drinker and try to give them to my FIL. I do not like seeing it in my boxes. I also notice that they do not seem to replenish on their site for the food you can buy. Not sure if it has been a dud or not for them. I did like the Cosmos and Gimballs and think they replenished and then sold out. Kind of frustrating because the prices were decent when free shipping is included.

I was just coming here to post this same exact thing, down to the contents and which you can review. I do like the apples though! That and the water are the only really good items, in my opinion. The chips and the protein bars are okay but the rest just sucks. I just canceled my account last night, this is my 2nd month (first was free) and I got 2 boxes so I ended up paying $7 for 3 whole boxes and I STILL don't really think it was that great of a deal! So, screw trying to stay for that next free box. I'm going to upgrade LoveWithFood to their bigger box, I really liked last month's box (minus that savory tea...).
Oh, and I did notice that my email for the month said I was getting a different number box than the one that shows on my account, so that might be where their mistake was in sending us two boxes this month.

Yeah, I might get the kid's box subscription some day because it does look better...I just hope it lasts. The normal box looked really good in the reviews I saw but then I joined and it started to suck, haha.

Did anyone notice you only get 1 point for your review and another if you leave a comment? I notice they are not showing any of the new items in their shop. I bet they have had a lot of subscriptions cancelled.
I noticed that as well. It would take you about 2 years to earn a free box now, so there's not much point in reviewing products if you're only doing it to earn points.

Sounds like the whole operation is going to hell rapidly.

Unfortunately, no. They don't do spoilers. You can find out what's in your box once they ship it, but not before you're charged.
