I just put everything in their kit into Tesco's website and it came to less than €15 with some sauce left over.

Fair dues and that's a good point too. But I'm buying this for Boojum flavours..

Nice to try this all the same, 17 quid delivered and it includes their own marinated chicken, rice blend etc.

Wouldn't have paid full price obviously. But nice for a treat to try!

It's a bargain for what you're getting from a known restaurant brand. Delivered to your home.

You could compare the supermarket vs restaurant prices for any restaurant..

Same grated cheese, sour cream, tomato salsa & salsa verde as Boojums?

As businesses adapt to Covid, it's unlikely that they will be able to complete with giants like Tesco.

We bought a home kit from a local burger joint, I could have saved €15 going to Tesco and bought similar ingredients, but it wouldn't have tasted the same. The burgers from the kits tasted exactly like they do in the restaurant. I could have shopped Tesco for an hour and still not have got the flavour combinations correct.

Obviously not, but it's all subjective. Some people prefer the ones in Tesco to the ones in Boojum and vice versa.

Deadly, ta, looking forward to that!

You pay for the convenience.
You can buy bread - or you can buy cheaper flour, yeast etc...

Not sure the point here.

The argument about Tesco price above could be applied to every and all food outlets.

People who buy this are more than likely looking for the Boojum flavors and instructions. Unless the exact same ingredients are found in Tesco and/or the price of Boojums is exceptionally high, then what's the point in telling people Tesco is cheaper?

Edit: It is cheaper in Tesco, this is a bargain thread. So you ant wrong :pac::pac:

that's fair to a point. 4.50 of the price is for dpd. Still more money out of your pocket than tesco, but less into boojum's pocket so fair pricing on their side.

Full price a different question, but I'll judge that next week once i've tasted what's en route. :pac:

Eh you still have to make the fajita? Just as if you bought the ingredients from Tesco.

Because many people who go to restaurants are doing so to save them the hassle of cooking and for an evening out, not because the food tastes superior to what they can cook.

For those people, the same amount of work is required to make the fajita whether they buy this meal kit or the ingredients in Tesco.

In fairness, going to Tesco and buying the ingredients vs this box delivered doesn't involve the same amount of work... C'mon.

For those people, the same amount of work is required to make the fajita whether they buy this meal kit or the ingredients in Tesco.

It's not the same thing though. Here, you're paying for (1) the brand, (2) the ingredients and taste, marinated chicken, portioned etc (3) the convenience of having it delivered in a box to your home, with instructions

For a few small euro extra than having to go to Tesco, shop, marinade ingredients etc. If you do Tesco home delivery, you'd be paying more than this with the extra fees.

Might not be worth it to some people, but to feed four people with food from a popular chain for 17 euro seems like a decent buy to me.

Plenty of places do cook at home boxes, most of which are far dearer than this, and they're very popular.

It's a good deal overall for what you're getting. Mightn't suit some and that's okay too.

I just wanted to highlight the deal to others who may like to try it. Having never tried a cook at home style order before, I said I'd bite the bullet and try it.

Ken Tucky · 26-11-2020 5:58pm

Lovely stuff...
Normally visit Boojum at least once a month for a burritto bowl.
Really do miss it. Best fast food ever.
I will really enjoy this. Thanks OP

Of course. If you prefer Boojum sauce over any in your local supermarket and/or you don't have a supermarket (or a Boojum) near you, then it's a good deal.

brainiac · 26-11-2020 6:01pm

First of all, I've had this a few weeks ago even at full price. This is a great bargain. High quality ingredients with a lot of it being precooked and just requiring a reheat. Chicken marinated well also.

They also (did the first time anyway) throw in 2 free sides, pickled red onion and jalapeños.

I'm kind of shocked at some of the discussion in this thread. Comparing budget uncooked ingredients to restaurant prepared food (which is par cooked and portioned). Do you walk into a steakhouse and say; "I can get that steak for €5 in Tesco, why is it €20 here". They're just not comparable.

It's €20 there because a chef they have paid has cooked the steak for you and they're paying waiters to serve you in the building they're paying rent and bills for. None of that is necessary if they sent you a steak meal kit.

Anyway, we're digressing. This deal will suit many who have a craving for some Boojum.

Their chefs have pre cooked and portioned many ingredients, used packaging, paid a delivery company, and they still have their rent and bills to pay for (which don't just go away). All that for an extra couple quid which is pretty much all going to DPD. Your logic makes no sense.

Anyway, your right, just chiming in that I can recommend this personally and I'll be grabbing another one.

You think if I ordered a steak meal kit the steak would come precooked? Isn't that just called takeaway? :pac:

And how do you know the chicken is precooked by Boojum themselves? They could could be bought from Tesco for all you know.

Finally, the bills for shipping a meal kit vs the bills for dining someone in a restaurant are not comparable.

Anyway, this is getting a bit silly. :pac:

Burning Eclipse · 26-11-2020 6:40pm

Happily ordered - thanks for a great bargain.

stdidit · 26-11-2020 6:49pm

Great deal, thanks for sharing OP.

Have tried many times to recreate their burritos myself, and failed miserably, really looking forward to this.

He called me a tool, and you just called me an asshole. Also reported.

If people think saving €1-2 per burrito to make it themselves rather than the standard price Boojum make them ready and prepared for is worthy of a bargain alert, that's their decision to make. Doesn't mean you have to resort to name-calling because someone disagrees with you.

I think you both should take it to PM if you want to continue. Your feelings are already known on the thread.

The regular price of a Boojum fajita is ~€6. They are sending you the ingredients to make a Boojum fajita for €4-€5. That is what you should expect to pay, it is not a bargain alert price. People are just buying it because they have a Boojum craving, they weren't aware the meal kit existed, they are comparing the price to the rip off original price etc. Marketing 101.

There is no need to sound condescending, I was just giving an alternative, cheaper option.

Sidford · 27-11-2020 9:45am

Yea it's true it shouldn't of been posted as it's not really a bargain and the next time I see a restaurant offering a reduced price I certainly won't post it on here until I go to Tesco or SuperValu website, price check all the ingredients that are used to make the meal and if they are cheaper than what the restaurant is charging then I won't but if the restaurant is cheaper then I will as we know it's a true bargain

I have contributed to this thread by posting an alternative, cheaper option. People who have replied to me have not contributed and are just being argumentative for the sake of it.

What benefit is your post to this thread?

If people are going to keep responding to me without explaining what's wrong with my logic, then they should expect a reply. If people stop making posts attacking me or the point that I've made, then I will stop responding. That is all.

Theres nothing wrong with your logic, I agree that you can buy the ingredients cheaper in Tesco, others have said the same. I just don't understand why you keep making the same point, what reply are you actually looking for?

Not looking for any reply. If a new poster says the same thing another poster says, then I will reply with the same response.

Why are you not also criticising the posters who are repeating the same argument against me that others have already made?

Didn't you leave out the delivery cost of the food from Tesco so didn't compare like for like.

This looks like a decent bargain for what it is.

Yes and I discussed that point previously.

For me, this is still a good PSA for those who didn't know these kits existed, but not really a bargain alert.

Meal kit contains enough for 4 large burrito bowls, which is pretty decent.
There's also effort in marinating chicken and creating Mexican rice, not sure if you've factored that in.
I haven't received deal yet so not sure how much "cooking" is required or if it is just warming and assembly.

Also, if you bought all Tesco value ingredients, items close to or past their best before date, or rummaged through the bins out back of boojum you could get the ingredients for a lot less than you found in Tesco.

And no cooking I believe, just prepping.

Now you're getting it! You should probably tell the people in the Tesco groceries thread to stop posting deals as they can just get the items for cheaper if they get the near expired stock. :pac:
