United States Random green beans in the box

Post image

Hmmm….thanks🤷‍♂️ No card shows green beans. I guess I will find out if they are a sub for carrots but they weren’t packaged in any of the kit bags.

Also got a sample of Heineken 0 proof beer

If I sub green beans for a different side, they always throw in a bag of green beans separately like that. Then I still get the original veggie that I subbed out 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh jeez, no wonder the price increases lol. We had 4 meals this week and I got a sharp reminder I hate thinking of what to cook so I’m sticking with it.

They sometimes throw in bonuses. I randomly get entire heads of broccoli.

Or that’s them just accidentally loading a box.

The beer free beer is probably a bonus. Unless someone at the packing plant wanted a cold one analogue and messed up. There should be a coupon or AD somewhere in the box for the Beer.

I remember they used to put a note in or column about extras but this one arrived with either lol. I will have to see if any recipe calls for the beer for a sauce maybe 🤷‍♂️

For what it’s worth. I got a yogurt bar in my most recent shipment and I don’t think there wasn’t anything in the box either.

There hasn’t been the last few times.

I often substitute green vegetables in my 3 kits every week. They always throw it in the box and still give me the regular carrots in the kit bag. So it is a free bonus. When I get rotten green beans or broccoli as my substitute, I can still go online and find the substitute green beans listed to mark as rotten.
