Vegan Box February 2016 Unboxing & Review

Hi everyone!

Today I have a The Vegan Box unboxing! This is a monthly box that costs $30 a month including shipping.

This is an Australian company. Reviews of this box seem really hard to find online.

You can buy one of your own here. They also have a bi-monthly beauty box which is pricier at $50/month!

My overall thoughts:

I'm very happy to find a vegan alternative to chocolate and parmesan sauce in here. I will use both (I'm still munching on the Cacao crunch as I blog right now - the taste is really growing on me and it's pretty delicious!)

I will also use the Konjac sponge, and I'm happy to try a different brand to the one I currently have, which is from Sasa. I really love my Konjac sponge, and they do need to be replaced regularly!

If I had to complain about something, it would be the small sizes of some of the other items. One Ginger Chew and one 4g Coconut sugar sachet seems hardly enough to make a real impression of the product.

I appreciate that they prefer to give us a lot of different products to try rather than a large quantity of one product, but I think it really is difficult to know from one candy if you want more of it!

I think for a box like this, paying $30 for $36 in value is reasonable, even though with a beauty box that would upset me more. This company seems like it's still growing, and the money goes into brand research which would be a lot more difficult in this area. + They're setting us up for the realistic expectation that becoming vegan is expensive :P

One more thing... I wish they replied to my email asking if I was getting the January or February box. Maybe they missed it? Or maybe their customer service is lacking. Either way, I got the February box, and not the January one, and no suspicious/dodgy double-charging happened, which is great!

I think there are definitely improvements that can be made, but my experience with this box is still overall a positive one! I would not mind ordering from them again when my budget allows - perhaps in April. =)
