Monthly Box of Food and Snacks is a monthly snack box from thatdailydeal.com:

Get an assortment of delicious, brand name snacks and food delivered to straight to your doorstep every month for one low price! Almost everything you receive will be full sized items with well know brand names. Includes a variety of snacks from granola bars, chips, cereals, etc. A lot will even be organic! Please note, this box is an insanely good deal, so some best by dates could be just passed or about to pass or they could even have a year left on them. If you are a frugal shopper you understand that best by dates are arbitrary and the packaged foods we will be sending are perfectly fine after the best by dates. Items that could potentially melt will only be included in the cooler months. You may receive multiples of some items, but we will always send a good variety each month.

Some things to consider: Have a big family to feed? Feel free to order multiples, but keep in mind that it might result in doubling up on the exact same products or you could get completely different products. It will vary from month to month. Received something you aren’t interested in? Give back to your community by donating the unwanted items. Have someone you want to send a care package to like a student in college or a grandparent? Let us do the work for you by shipping this box directly to them!

I am not really a nutter butter lover so I wasn’t exactly excited about trying this cereal, but I was optimistic enough because I love cereal. When I opened this, it smelled like I was walking into GNC or some other health food store and it made me gag. I couldn’t bring myself to try it. My husband really liked it (he has no sense of smell so he wasn’t deterred away). The kids were also split on it. So while this wasn’t a favorite of mine, at least it will be eaten.

I love popcorn, I love Boom Chicka Pop popcorn but I am not sold on kettle corn. Sweet popcorn just doesn’t sit right with me (unless its caramel mixed with cheddar). This was a hit with the kids, though, and makes for a pretty great after school snack.

I was really excited to see these. The kids love them and they are individual snack sizes. I hated that there were only three, they went so fast! These are a great snack or inclusion for their lunches. Chex mix is always a win in this house!

I have never seen these before and had no idea what to expect as far as the actual snack or flavor. As soon as I bit into this, I was hit with flavors that reminded me of pizza. It was a little crispy but it was really, really good. The cracker even looked like it had real cheese melted on top. Super yummy!

I was excited to see another flavor, though only one ingredient is different: garlic vs olive. Honestly, I thought I would like this one more than the previous because I don’t like olives, but I liked the other one so much more. This one was good but the garlic was really pronounced. Still a delicious snack, I just have a favorite flavor. Everyone else enjoyed these too.

Oh boy! Kit Kats are my favorite candy in the whole wide world! I was pretty excited for these, then I realized they were white chocolate. I can do white chocolate, but I really prefer milk chocolate or dark chocolate. So I was both excited and bummed about these. I thought they were pretty cool being orange in color; very much Halloween. The kids loved them of course!

After last month’s chorizo lime flavor, I had no idea what to expect out of this. I am a lover of jerky so it was a bonus that this was original flavor and I bit right into it. It was pretty good, tasted like beef jerky. It is high in fat and protein and low in carbs, which is a plus. If this was at the store and I had to have a snack, I would happily grab this.

I love Bugles! I was that kid that put them on my fingers and ate them right off. My box only had two bags, one spicy and one regular so I let each kid have one since my oldest loves all things spicy and my middle child loves cheddar/nacho cheese flavored snacks; these were perfect for them. They gobbled them right up! I was able to get a taste of the spicy ones and boy, were they spicy! I had to follow up with the cheddar and some water to get the spice away.

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Candies, 6 oz – Estimated Value $7.00

130 Calories │ 5g Fat│ 19g Carbs │ 1g Protein (per 2 pieces) – Unknown Expiration date

I wasn’t able to find the expiration date on this package and the way they were all loosey-goosey makes me think this is something that was in a bigger box and split between subscriptions, which isn’t unusual for this subscription. The candies were pretty good and the caramel was really gooey. The sprinkle of sea salt was really delicious and offset the super sweet caramel. I am ashamed to say that these are all gone. As I was looking up these candies, I learned they were a Girl Scout product. I was unable to find a place to purchase them, but considering they are a Girl Scout product, they may have to be purchased from a Girl Scout. I did find this information here but it isn’t much.

I saw these once at the store and while I was curious, I was not curious enough to buy them. The idea of a loved sweet candy being spicy just wasn’t appealing so when I got these in my box, I was very anxious to try it out. The candies look like regular starburst, the packaging and flavors are even the same. The flavors do have flames though that indicate they are hot. When I unwrapped the candy, I noticed tiny red specs. I popped it into my mouth and was not impressed right away, it tasted like the same favorite flavors. Then it got hot, like really, really hot and I had to spit it out. Of course, my oldest child, Jayden, loves them.

These immediately looked unappealing. Coconut-sprinkled sunflower seeds? Yuck. And when I tried them, I spit it out. I convinced my kids to try them without telling them what they were and they both spit them out, too. I wish they were just regular sunflower seeds. I was unable to find this exact flavor online for sale.

I have come to expect Annie’s Organic product in my Snack With Me box since I have gotten one every month. I enjoy trying the different products and so do the kids. These are such a big hit with my almost 10-month old. She loves cinnamon and these are just perfect for her. I keep a package in the car for the morning commute to school and after school commute; more than once they have been a lifesaver.

I have never seen these before and was pretty curious to try them out. The caramel popcorn with the Chex Mix is pretty good; the flavors and textures go really good together. The kids also really loved these. We will probably buy more of these when they run out.

Verdict: This month’s Snack With Me was totally random with a majority of the snacks being ones I have never heard of or ventured out to try. I received 13 different snacks (or 18 individual snacks!). This month’s box was probably my least favorite, I wasn’t too thrilled with the mix I got and most of them I wouldn’t and haven’t eaten. I know this subscription is all about trying things out so while I didn’t love this month’s box, I am not disappointed because I was able to try out new things.

Almost all the things are already expired! If you got this in May, theres items that already expired in April, a food/snack box should not have items expiring the previous month or the same month it was send.

Easy pass for me

This box hardly seems worth the value. It seems to be stuff available at discount stores, ( Odd Lots, Dollar Tree) for much less. The cereal is chalked full of GMO’s. I got it on sale once and the smell and taste is just “off”. I couldn’t give it away. Children even passed.

It’s a good idea, but it seems you’re paying near full retail for items you don’t pick out. We’re pretty good at purchasing items when they’re on deal and/or at Costco. So hard pass.

Seems like a good box, until there’s Halloween candy in there…. Halloween candy was 90% off the beginning of November. Seems nice; but stuff you could get most of those items at the dollar store or free samples.

I got the same thing minus the cheddar bugles and minus the starbursts. With nothing else substituted so I feel jipped. The thing you hated was my favorite. I absolutely love old the nutter butter ceral.
