First Look

Bestowed always has a nice information booklet and they give detailed information about each product.

A peek inside the information booklet

Peeled Snacks Apple Clusters Apple Crunch $2.19 These are organic, gluten free, and have o grams of fat.  These taste like crunchy balls of apples.

Good Greens Bars Chocolate Mint $2.49 This contains probiotics, DHA Omega 3s and they are vegan.  The flavor is chocolate mint.  I am not sure if I will like this, but I will give it a chance.

Plum Organics Mashups $2.00  My youngest child loves these pouches.  These are made with 100% real organic fruit and the packaging is BPA free.

Ocean's Halo Seaweed Chips $1,99 These seaweed chips are hot and spicy, have no msg, gmos and have 85 calories. The bag is biodegradable too.  I am not a fan of seaweed, so I am sending this to work with my husband,

Orgain Healthy Kids Organic Nutritional Shake $2.05  This is a nutritional drink for children.  This is organic and has 8 grams of protein and 10 different organic fruits and veggies.  My oldest drinks Pediasure, so I am going to see if he likes this.

Super Crackers $1.84 for 2 Each of these have 100 calories.  They are all natural have don't have any of the bad stuff like trans fats and artificial stuff.  There is cheddar n' stuff and cornbread n stuff.  I tried the cheddar n stuff and they taste great.

Meyers Clean Day Dish Soap .52 This is a nice soap and cleans well.  I like this to clean sippy cups on vacation.

Unburn Sunburn Relief $1.99 This is sunburn relief gel, that helps pull the pain from your sunburn.   This I am sure will be useful, but I think it would have been better in the June or July box.  I am ready for fall!

Coupons:  There were several coupons in the box.  There was a coupon for a free cup of MaiaTogurt ($1.99), $1.00 off Funley's crackers, $1.00 off Halo Seaweed chips, and one free Suja ($9.05 value).

Final Thought:  This box had a total value of $15.07.  If you count the free product coupons, that would add an additional $11.05.  I was disappointed again in this month's box.  The value fell short for me again and I was a bit confused about the information card.  The information card listed the yogurt and the Suji as items, but there were only coupons in the box.  I did like the snacks in the box better this time.  I hope the value improves for next months box.
