It's kind of funny (but not that funny), since I started trades school, I take a tea with me every morning. As much as I want to bring with me one of the teas from Tea Runners, I am just not that organized to be able to make a pot in the morning and have... Continue Reading →
Peko Produce – January 8 2023

Peko Produce – December 28 2022
I got an e-mail from Peko today. It's a play on Spotify's "Wrapped", so they have "Peko Wrapped". This is nice, but it's inaccurate. They said I only bought 1 box when I've received 3. Hmm... They also don't include pantry items, so overall the Peko Wrapped is a disappointment. The email also included a... Continue Reading →
Tea Runners – December 2022
Tea Runners has really broadened my tea horizons and I always look forward to the new flavours that show up each month. Tea Runners (Canada) Overview Cost: $24/month + Tax (12 month subscription) Value: Depends on tea Frequency: Monthly (but you can customize) Cancellation Policy: Conflicting cancellation policy (says both: you can receive a pro-rated...

Peko Produce – December 19 2022
This is our second box from Peko Produce. Most of the produce looks to be in better shape this time except for the tomatoes, which have some mould on them. This is a pretty nice variety that contains quite a few things that we commonly eat, and others we like to eat but rarely purchase.... Continue Reading →
Peko Produce – December 4 2022
I am not sure how I feel about this. When one orders produce for the week, one would expect it to arrive fresh and last at least a few days. Some of the produce came squished, some expired promptly, some arrived already rotting, and some rotted a day or two later. Peculiar doesn't mean rotting.... Continue Reading →
The Extraordinary Man – Fall 2022
I'm not going to fight these guys to give them my business. Such a bizarre company. I've subscribed twice now. The first time, back in July, I had absolutely no issues and the products were fine. I was expecting a fall box, but they sent a summer box almost immediately, which I got 4 days... Continue Reading →
Loti Wellness Box – November 2022
Out of the 13 subscription boxes I've tried, Loti has been hanging out near the bottom. Will it move up in November? Loti Wellness Subscription Box Overview Cost: $55.95 CAD + $10 shipping + Tax Value: $100+ Frequency: Monthly Cancellation Policy: Cancel after minimum commitment Payment: Every 10th of prior month Focus: “Every month, receive...

Tea Runners – November 2022
Unfortunately I lied. The giveaway for TeaRunners was on TikTok, not on Instagram, so I did not enter. I refuse to do TikTok. I think I'm old enough to get away with refusing to join the "kids these days". I have to say I had another cup of the Salty Caramel Pumpkin Black last night,... Continue Reading →
Catoro Cat Crate – Limited Edition
This is my first cat crate. I was a little hesitant ordering one because our current lot of cats can be picky, and because we have 3 largish dogs in the house, it's debatable if the cats would play with any toys. I took the plunge and bought a box without a subscription. There was... Continue Reading →
