Sampleit

What's in the box: Ten sample-size better-for-you snacks such as bars, chips, crackers and fruit snacks, plus a Snacktivity Kit with a scorecard, stickers, activities and a mystery prize.

Sampleit is a quarterly snack sampler for kids ages 3 to 10, built on a simple idea: let children taste new better-for-you snacks in small sizes before parents commit to full packs. Each box holds 10 sample-size items such as bars, chips, crackers and fruit snacks, plus a Snacktivity Kit with a scorecard, stickers, activities and a small prize. The game element is the main draw and could help with picky eaters who resist unfamiliar foods. You can set taste preferences and allergies at signup, which matters for families managing restrictions, though the site does not detail how strictly allergens are screened. Pricing starts at $34.99 per box for the single size, and a larger sibling size is also offered. Shipping is free in the contiguous US, with Alaska and Hawaii excluded. Your first box is charged and shipped at signup; after that, renewals happen on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, so note those dates if you plan to skip. A QR code in each box lets you buy favorites at a discount, which means the service also works as a sales channel for its brand partners. For a box of samples, the price is not trivial, but it may still cost less than buying full-size bags that go uneaten.
