Subscription Boxes

Yeah I funnily watched this video today before reading this thread. His reviews of TV infomercial products are really funny!

I thought that, cheese goes off so fast, they would have to encase it with dry ice or something which would bulk up the package so much. I like the idea of it fitting through my letterbox but I found with a lot of subscription boxes the postman doesn’t even bother trying to slip it through and instead gives you a redelivery slip :weary:

So here’s an interesting thing.

I saw your post, and then I got an advert for Harry’s on Instagram.

In the comments, someone mentioned a boycott of the company.

I proceeded to Google it.

Turns out the “boycott” was arranged by a bunch of alt-right, red pill, misogynist types. They were angry that Harry’s are openly feminist supporting and ran a campaign about the dangers of toxic masculinity culture. One of the websites was called “War against the white male” which I thought might be satire… Nope.

Mind-boggling stuff.

Anyway. I’m now highly considering signing up to the Harry’s service.

Any company with the guts to fight toxic masculinity culture when their product is aimed at men has got my vote. Bold, and progressive move.

I didn’t realise it was just cheese toasties, I don’t suppose anyone can recommend any cheese subscriptions?

I love the cheese you can get at the Christmas markets and recently found a wide variety of cheese while visiting Chester market. Cheers.

I’ve used Manrags recently - they’re a subscription service for men’s underwear and socks based in Australia, but they have free shipping worldwide.

They seem to offer a variety of options depending on how often you wants socks and/or underwear, but at the moment they’re offering the first month subscription of just socks for 2 AUD (~ £1.10) or socks and underwear for 5 AUD (~£2.78) - so I went for both to see what they were like. (They charge in AUD so using Monzo was great for currency conversion! :+1: :mondo:)

They seem of decent quality and are comfortable, and not bad for the promotional prices, but I’m not sure I’ll be sticking with them at the normal prices - $14 for socks each month, $25 for both each month.

You don’t get to choose the design they’ll send you, but they’re all quite colourful and patterned though which is fun.

If anyone does want to try them, if three people use my link I get some free socks! :socks:

Unfortunately they don’t seem to offer anything for you in return for using it I don’t think :cry: but you should be able to use the promo codes still at least!

(And a here’s a normal link if people would prefer https://www.manrags.com.au/)

I’ve clicked your link, but when I get to the final screen it’s trying to charge me £11 instead of the trial price and states “Product Unavailable” :thinking:

Use the code MONTHLY5 for the socks/underwear combo…

Technically a subscription box…I’ve just signed up to HelloFresh after debating about it for a while. I also subscribe to Butternut Box for my dogs food.

Might need to give Harrys a try given the good words :eyes:

Yes I can: Culture - The Cheese Shed - The Cheese Shed : we had our ‘wedding cake’ from them and have had a few of their Culture subscription boxes. Starts off a £17.99 for 2 cheeses total of 400g and goes up to £39.99 for 6 cheeses about 1.2Kg delivered weekly/fortnightly/monthly.

For me, it just has to be ILoveGin.com. £14 a month for two miniatures, and two tonics - always different, even the tonics!

I’ve also recently signed up for BrewDog Fanzine, which is three unique beers to your door for £11. It’s meant to be every fortnight, but I take a break every time, so I only get them monthly…

Has anyone seen the limited edition handle that Harry’s made for Pride?

It looks awesome, not sure I can justify buying it when I have a perfectly functioning handle and several replacement blades already though!

All proceeds go to LGBTQ+ charities :heart:
