October Taste Trunk Sweet Trunk Review

Taste Trunk is one of the subscriptions I get every month.  Taste Trunk has four different trunks: Healthy, Sweet, BBQ, and Gourmet.  Taste Trunk is $29.00 a month and there is a shipping charge for new subscribers.  Every month, you get 4-5 tasty treats that fit with the box you choose.  The boxes themselves, are very nice.  The inside lid of the box always has a picture to fit with the month.  I like the little embossed seals in the box.  I loved my sweet trunk so much last month, I decided to try it again. The Trunk Box All trunks ship in the same boxes.  I love the embossed seal on the top.  The boxes ship priority mail, so the shipping charge is worth it.  These boxes are heavy! First Look Taste Trunk wins the award for best packaging.  They have an attention to detail that I love.  Notice the black and orange colors for Halloween The Goodies Cake Coconut Macaroons Price Unknown These are made by the Cake company.  They are located in Lafayette, Ca.    They are famous for their coconut macaroons,  They also make specialty cakes.  These look delicious but unfortunately, my husband and I hate coconut.  I will be giving this to my father, who is very excited to receive them. Marlos $14.99 Ahhh chocolate.  Now we are talking.  These are similar to biscotti, but different.  They have the crunch that biscotti has, but it’s a bit softer.  The bag has two different flavors: Midnight Marlos and Original Marlos.  My favorite were the Midnight Marlos.  They are made with Italian espresso, cocoa, Callebaut, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.  The original is made with chocolate chips, chocolate covered raisins, walnuts, orange juice, vanilla extract and cinnamon (among other ingredients).  The Midnight Marlos are really good.

October Me Undies Review

I really enjoy my Me Undies subscription.  I love their underwear.  They are a bit pricey ($16.00), but they feel and fit amazing.  Me Undies carries underwear, t-shirts and socks for men and women.  They have different price points, so check them out if you are interested.  You can pick the color underwear you want, or get the color of the month.  I chose to pick my color.   The Package I received the grey pair of underwear, a condom (these are in all my packages), a thank you card and an ad from Me Undies. Final Thought: I really like this subscription.  I don’t pay $16.00 underwear normally, but these are great pairs of underwear.  I also like that you can skip or pause your subscription each month (only during the first 5 days of the month).  I am going to get this subscription for awhile.  To subscribe or check out Me Undies, click the picture below.
