This month, I did not receive any kind of information card. There were a few coupons, though.

SRX RX Meal in Vanilla Ice Cream (1 serving) – Value $1.87 (get 30 servings for $55.99)

Based on the box contents, it looks like Supplement RX is a brand partner this month. This packet of protein powder really went for the minimalist approach when it came to labeling. This is mostly whey based but also has some casein (another milk protein) and egg albumin, so it is vegetarian but not vegan. I used it in my usual way, in a smoothie, and it blended well (most whey does). This has actually quite a lot of fiber for a protein powder and is low in sugar.

Kimera Koffee (1 oz) – Value $1.83 (buy 12 oz for $21.95)

This has taurine, DMAE, alpha GPC (aka L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine), and L-theanine, which are all supposed to help you with focus and concentration. I typically give coffee samples to my husband, but this baggie had come open during shipping and there were coffee grounds all over the inside of the box. I’m not going to worry about replacements for a sub-$2 item, though.

Fitness Parachute – Value $30?

I didn’t see a brand name on this (it had a convoluted surface so it’s possible I missed a tag or something) so I have averaged the value of a couple of similar items from Amazon. What you do is put the strap (pointing up in this picture because I’m holding it) around your waist and then run outside. It is supposed to help increase your strength and speed for sprinting (could be good for athletes in sports like soccer where short runs are required). I have to say, I have never received an item like this from a subscription box before.  I am probably going to pass it along to someone who can get more use out of it; I can’t really do much in the way of running for exercise because I have a tendency to get runner’s knee, but I know a few people who would definitely appreciate it.

Honey Stinger in Cinnamon – Value $1.49 (buy a box of 16 for $23.84)

Honey Stinger in Salted Caramel – Value $1.49 (buy a box of 16 for $23.84)

Honey Stinger in Vanilla and Chocolate - Value $1.49 (buy a box of 16 for $23.84)

I am never going to turn down a stroopwafel. These are gluten-free but for a very thin wafer like this, it’s hard to tell. My favorite normally would’ve been salted caramel but it tasted kind of burnt, for some reason.  (The others were fine.) I am honestly not sure why these were in a fitness box unless it is just to get some glucose for immediate energy, but I like them so I won’t complain too much!

Straight Outta Protein Tank – Value $10?

There were two tanks this month; both had labels on the back that said “Next Level” apparel. This is a wholesale company that sells shirts you can get printed with whatever you want, so you can’t go online and buy this exact product. I took the 1-5 quantity price from this website and added a bit to cover the design and screen printing. These tanks are soft and they do fit pretty well (BuffBoxx actually lets you choose XS shirts, which I really need) but they don’t feel like super high-quality items. They will be good for day-to-day workouts, though.

Cuck Fardio Tank – Value $10?

See above regarding pricing and quality. I don’t think I would wear this one out in public, but since I exercise at home, I guess that’s OK. (For the record, I actually really like cardio and do at least 70 minutes of it per day…) Normally Buffboxx includes Reebok apparel and I’m not sure why they didn’t this month. (They have had problems with orders from the Reebok warehouse in the past.)

SRX Daily Essentials for Women (60 tablets) – Value $19 (buy 120 tablets for $37.99)

These are REALLY BIG VITAMINS. I’ve shown you a few in my hand; while I do have small hands for an adult, these may be the biggest vitamins I’ve ever seen. And you have to take two of them to get a one-day supply. They have a strong vitamin smell despite the coating, but they are vegetarian, so I will use them. They have a pretty standard complement of vitamins and minerals (including 100% of your daily iron, so be careful if you are otherwise supplementing iron) as well as some antioxidants (including zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, and lycopene, which often come in non-vegetarian gelcaps, so it’s nice to see those).

BuffBoxx Mini Foam Football – Value $1?

There’s always some promotional merchandise and it’s always something different, to BuffBoxx’s credit. This month it is a mini foam football.

Goodwipes Fresh Body Wipes (1 count) – Value $0.90 (buy a 10 pack for $8.99)

I used to be skeptical of such items because I shower every day, right after I work out. And then back in July, we had a plumbing issue and couldn’t shower for 3 or 4 days. And Yuni Shower Sheets saved us. So now I am always happy to get body wipes in subscription boxes. This brand is new to me; it is supposed to be biodegradable and hypoallergenic but I am keeping the package sealed until I need it so that it doesn’t dry out. These have tea tree oil which should help control breakouts on the skin.

Verdict: I calculated a value of around $79 for the September Buffboxx. I had to estimate a lot of values, but there really was quite a bit in the box. That is a good value for this subscription, even on a month-to-month basis, though I am disappointed not to receive any Reebok clothing this month. I also sort of wish BuffBoxx would go back to having an information card, as that would’ve been a great place to list the protein powder ingredients (I had to look them up) or branding and a value for the parachute, etc. Overall, though, I think it was a good mix of items from across a variety of fitness-related categories.

What did you think of the September BuffBoxx? Do you subscribe to any fitness, weight loss, or workout subscriptions?
