Gourmet Taste Trunk Subscription Box Review & Coupon - May 2014 Dip

Gourmet du Village Lemon Dill Dip Mix - Retail Value $9

Gourmet du Village Dip Dish & Spreader - Retail Value $10

This dip mix requires some dairy added, so I won't be using it, but I think it will make a great gift paired with this dish and spreader set!

Gourmet Taste Trunk Subscription Box Review & Coupon - May 2014 Carolina

Lillie's Q Barbeque Sauces in Carolina - Value $12.50

Gourmet du Village Provence Seasoned Sea Salt - Value $6

This salt is just sea salt and herbs - perfect for easy chicken roasting! (And this BBQ sauce looks amazing too!)

Gourmet Taste Trunk Subscription Box Review & Coupon - May 2014 Candy

Torie & Howard Organic Hard Candy in Pink Grapefruit & Tupelo Honey - Value $5

These candies are so good! (I'm trying to cut back on sugar, but at least these are organic!)

Verdict: I paid $29 plus $6 shipping for this box and received approximately $42 worth of gourmet items. I think the value is pretty good, but I'd say this box is more about the curation and presentation. We've enjoyed just about every new brand we've discovered through Taste Trunk, so I'm happy with this subscription. What do you think of the May Gourmet Taste Trunk?

If you have a Whole Foods nearby, there are a whole bunch of non-dairy imitation dairy products. I’ve seen non-dairy sour cream, non-dairy yogurt (your choice of soy milk base, coconut milk base, and several others), and two different types of non-dairy cream cheese. Might work with the dip. (Then again, maybe you’ve already been there and done that and didn’t like it?)
