Really thrilled with first organic fruit/veg delivery!

Postby megansmummy » Thu Nov 11, 2010 12:12 pm

After spending the last couple of years trying to convince hubby to let me try a fruit/veg delivery again (after we used a terrible one...) he finally agreed so i wasted no time and got an order in, it has just arrived. Rather than order a box I ordered specific items instead (to avoid wastage/hubby moaning) and here is what came~

Punet of vine cherry tomatoes
6 leeks
5 baking potatoes
15 white potatoes
6 large carrots
5 onions
13 mushrooms
1 large cucumber
10 huge bananas
10 huge pears
10 huge apples

The whole lot cost £17.50 and delivery was free! On first glance its SO SO SO much better than the last one we tried!! and it was the same ££ as what i spend on fruit/veg per week (non organic) at the supermarket! :mrgreen:

:wine: glad you are pleased

The only thing I would feedback to them though is the use of plastic bags - I like that I return our box each week to be re-used :wink: but it does look great value :D

I had the exact same thought, i will mention it when i emal...it did come in a box (a plastic re-usable one...he said they normally come in cardboard ones but my order my quite 'big' :giggle: ) So i give the box back next time they come...

Looks lovely I think we will give it a try! Had a look on riverfords website and not only do they do fruit and veg but meat and loads of other stuff! I could probably get my whole weeks shop from them! Am going to investigate more!
