Well, the first box that got me hooked on subscription boxes is closing down. I got this email in my inbox today:
[quote]Dear Monthly Subscription Boxes,
We’re writing to let you know that we're discontinuing the Goodies subscription box service; the October box will be your last. Your credit card will not be billed for any future months.
We thank you for being an engaged member of the Goodies community. We’ve had such fun sharing tasty food discoveries with you, and hope you found some new favorite snacks along the way.
When we launched Goodies Co. as a test from WalmartLabs, our goal was to build a completely new, affordable way to discover and buy new products. Your input has been invaluable and we’re eager to bring a bit of that Goodies magic to the world of Walmart shopping. We can’t tell you much more about what we’re working on just yet, except that we’re excited. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, we’d like to offer you a chance to continue receiving a monthly subscription box with our friends at Love With Food. For a limited time, you will have the opportunity to receive your first box with Love With Food for just $5.
Again, we thank you for your support as one of our loyal customers.
Warm regards,
The Goodies Co. Team[/quote]
While Walmart generates a lot of controversy in general, I do believe the Goodies box was of great value at only $7/month. It introduced me to a lot of snacks and drinks that I wouldn't have otherwise tried. That's not to say there aren't other great food subscription boxes out there as well.
Farewell Goodies!
