Anyone buy from Graze? I just saw the ad' on TV and it got me thinking that it can't be a viable business. Anyone who snacks on nuts and dried fruit knows where to buy it and mix their own. Even if they are making £2 a box they would need to ship thousands of boxes every week just to pay for the TV ad's and the overheads. In obesity Britain I don't believe there's the demand.

For that reason I'm out.

They've been going a few years now as plenty people think it's cool to have a box delivered to work that they can sit on their desk to say "Hey look at me I'm dead funky and stuff, I get little snacks delivered to me in a box".

Far cheaper to go to scoop shop.

...or they are all using the free boxes, then binning the trial.

Ah, that's a world I know nothing about. I've never worked in an office.

How's this for a crazy idea... maybe, just *maybe*, people find it more convenient to get it delivered to their work? And *maybe* it's not about being cool?

There obviously is a fair amount of demand or they most likely would have gone under by now.

For that reason, I will offer the £100,000, however I do want 99% of the business.

EDIT: If you go via TopCashBack, you can actually be paid £1 to get a box delivered... at least you could last year anyway! 8)

yeah, my old office went nuts for this (arf) a couple of years ago. By virtue of the fact they are still around, they must be doing ok.

edit: beaten to it

I guess there are enough people like me who stick with them after the freebies for their currant business model to be raisin enough cash to keep them afloat.

I had them for a bit. They're alright for convenience and some of the stuff is actually nice. The track and field one stirred/melted into porridge was amazing! I stopped getting them though as they were causing me to snack more than I'd like to.

I have two boxes delivered to home a week for three years ...which I take to work. Yes I could buy some of the ingredients for cheaper but wouldn't get the variety, it's not just nuts.

I generally eat all day and it stops me eating crap. (I'm not fat either)

To get the range and variety of food I would have to spend a fortune on packs and store them. I also get to try slot of things I wouldn't normally eat which adds to a varied diet.

If he is a good friend, he will understand.

...unless they are one of those pricks who use Graze.com. I mean, what the **** is up with that?!?!

Amirite, folks!

I'm dead funky and stuff, I get little snacks delivered to me in a box every Tuesday.
I haven't seen delicious flapjacks, chocolate brownies or banana cake in the scoop shop.
I get a box delivered for my kid's weekend sport too - hard to get him to eat healthy stuff, but the novelty of the graze box makes him happy to eat fruit and stuff for his energy kick. What a dead funky kid he must be.
[edit]I'm a bit of a prick too 😛

Try a local baker's.

First it's the scoop shop, now it's the bakers. Make your mind up.

No matter how many boxed snacks you buy you'll never get enough funk points to be as cool as those that do.

You go with whatever you think makes you cool when you're looking in that mirror.

Nice, but I'd my desktop snack of choice is a tube of Pringles.

Lot's of cool dudes in our office too. Looks nice stuff but I'm far too tight fisted.

I get them, have done for a couple of years. Agree that you could do something similar and cheaper but not massively so. When I threatened to quit, they dropped the price to £2.99 a box for life.

I think the main thing with them is the variety. Nice to open up the box and get a surprise. An afternoon teat that isn't a bar of chocolate but costs similar to one. Love the 'Hot Cross Yum' at the moment.

If you want a break then its easy just to push back deliveries for a few weeks / months.

How'd you get that? Over the phone?

teat 🙂

Dez - I was cheeky, just emailed them. I said that one of my friends, whom I didn't specify, was getting his cheaper than me (I'd heard about the £2.99 thing before)and I was unhappy so wanted to cancel my deliveries. Pretty much replied by return with the £2.99 offer.
