Goodies Co. March 2013

I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of my first ever Goodies Co box. My estimated arrival date was April 2/3 but it arrived on March 30! Thank goodness. So, I’m not too upset about that.

Goodies, Co is a monthly food subscription box for $7/month.
This month's theme is "Rise and Shine" and its focus is on breakfast foods:
Front of card.
Back of card, along with all the products.
The box
I wish they would learn to use the most out of the box, I'm not particularly fond of not seeing boxes looking less than half full.

Rip van Wafles Stroopwafles, 1.02 oz- $1.33 ($7.98/pack of 6)
My boyfriend liked this a lot more than I did, considering I'm not too fond of caramel. However, we didn't eat it as suggested like over a hot drink.


Ola! Handbaked Granola in No Nut Vanilla, 1 oz - $0.67 ($5.99/9 oz bag)
I thought this was a little too plain for my taste. But if I was starving, I would devour this in seconds.


Rickland Orchards Greek Yogurt Coated Granola Bar in Blueberry Acai, 1.41 oz - $1.30 ($6.49/pack of 5)
My boyfriend adored this, absolutely adored. I thought it was just okay.


BelVita Cinnamon Brown Sugar Breakfast Biscuits, 4 breakfast biscuits - $0.80 ($3.99/pack of 5)
I think my sweet tooth is just difficult to please, these were also a bit bland for me. But again, my boyfriend adore this too.


Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves 1 oz - $0.38($4.99/13 oz jar)
I am giving this to my parents since I'm not a toast and jam kind of person.


Erin Baker’s Breakfast Cookie in Double Chocolate Chunk, 1 oz - $0.43 ($7.80/6 – 3 oz cookies)
This is perhaps what I liked most out of the box, but the chocolate-y-ness was downplayed a lot.


Jovan’s All Natural Instant Breakfast in Creamy Vanilla, 1.06 oz - $1.60 ($7.99/pack of 5)
I'll find time to make this and eat it eventually. But probably not anytime soon.


Nabisco Newton’s Triple Berry, 2 fruit chewy cookies - $0.75 ($4.49/pack of 6)
I've had this brand before and I am almost positive I've had a similar flavor. They're delicious.

Honestly, I was initially a bit disappointed as I looked at spoilers and realized I didn’t get the drink like many other subscribers have gotten. And from a little digging, isn't the waffle from an earlier box from last year? 
I like basic math, so I totaled up the value according to the sizes, and it equals to $7.26, but I was hoping to get more value than what I paid. I may keep this for another month or two to see where it goes. At least they win in showing me different products I haven't heard of before, aside from the Newton's. My boyfriend however, he enjoyed the food in here a LOT more than I did.
