2012Why We Love The Foodzie Tasting Box
If you love food, you might love the Foodzie Tasting Box almost as much as we do. See, Foodzie used to be a wonderful marketplace for artisan food-makers to sell their goodies. The model was pretty much exactly like Etsy, except for food.
Well, I have no idea what happened to the big marketplace they used to have, if they ran into some kind of FDA issues with people selling their food-goodies, or if it just wasn’t profitable enough for them… but they’re now focusing their efforts exclusively on my favorite service of theirs – the Foodzie Tasting Box.
For $30 bucks a month, you get a subscription that warrants you a box of unique tasty treats from all over the country. One time I got this amazing “hot chocolate on a stick” and it blew my damn mind. The box is admittedly a luxury because thirty bucks a month is a lot to spend on random treats that you may or may not like. For me it’s worth it, because I’m usually pretty excited by what arrives. It’s my favorite monthly package.
So, if you like to try new treats and want to support small independent food-makers, check it out.
And let me know if you’ve tried it/love it too,

I used to love Foodzie before the change. Sure, I didn't like everything in the boxes, but I found a few new favorites and they made it convenient to order larger quantities of the best stuff later on. I recently returned to Foodzie to place an order for a few favorites, though, and I found that it was no longer possible. Given the change in business model and the price increase, it's just not worth it to me anymore. I wish someone would make a business exactly like the old Foodzie 🙂

Stefanie – Have you heard of http://www.lovewithfood.com? It’s very similar to the old Foodzie (and at the same price point, which I of course prefer!). I got my first box from them last month and really enjoyed the assortment of treats. You may want to give it a try too!

have you heard of ourfoodshed.com?! You would love it. Â We buy delicious treats from there all the time. Â It’s pretty similar to (the old) Foodzie, but I’ve always like it better – small producers, good quality plus lots of awesome recipes. Check it out!!
