Degustabox subscription boxes deliver 10-15 surprise food products to your door with each box. Every month, items are carefully selected from name brands, will contain new flavors, and give you a new option to think about the next time you’re looking for a break in your eating routine. Degustabox subscription boxes start at only $19.99 per box which includes free shipping; you’ll receive a lot of goodies at a price which is less than what you would see in the stores. Plus, there are some recipe ideas and coupons. With today’s Degustabox review, I’m unboxing the May 2017 Degustabox.
Inside the May 2017 Degustabox
The May Degustabox is available in two versions, (A) contains the k-cups and (B) does not. Depending on the version you receive, a few of the items will vary and will be identified in the review. This box is filled with a lot of brands, and there are multiple items of Barilla products this month for a “Taste of Italy” and there is also a “Breakfast is served” selection with featured breakfast items.

May 2017 Degustabox Review Wrap-Up
This month, I took a lot of the ingredients and made several Degustabox-inspired meals or snacks. I didn’t have all the ingredients for the enclosed recipe featuring Barilla products, so I made my own by browning sweet Italian sausage, pouring in the Mutti Polpa, then adding it to the cooked and drained Barilla Farfalle, adding a bit of the Barilla Pesto, sprinkling it with mozzarella cheese and serving it with Mulino Bianco Sfilati.
I made another meal with sauteed chicken, adding some Soy Vey sauce and simmering, then serving with the Village Harvest rice and grains blend.
And I made hot chocolate, added in the Dandies Marshmallows, and drank it with the Mulino Bianco Galletti on the side.
Degustabox is a great box of snacks each month, and you can earn Degusta points toward free boxes through spreading the word by referring friends, surveys, and gifting box subscriptions. They even included recipe ideas for using products included in the box. Occasionally, there are coupons to purchase featured items at your favorite retailer. It’s a great value of food items, a surprise in each box, in a no commitment plan.
