Bulu Box has changed their information cards again, as well as the boxes.

There are also usually some coupons and/or product literature with this subscription.

Natralia Happy Little Bodies Eczema Moisturizing Lotion (6 fl oz) – Value $11.50

We got an eczema relief cream from this brand last month. I don’t have eczema, and this seems like a kids’ product, but I am having surgery at the end of this month and it seems like maybe this would be a good thing to have around for general moisturizing and itchiness.

Napz All Natural Short-Term Sleep Aid (60 veggie capsules) – Value $17.97

Lately, I am falling asleep on the couch at 9:30 PM so I don’t really need a sleep aid. However, I go through cycles of sleeping well and then not sleeping well, so I will save this for the “not sleeping well” times. This is vegetarian and does NOT contain melatonin (thankfully). It is some fairly gentle herbs like chamomile and lemon balm and hibiscus that you find in a lot of teas.

Wiley’s Finest Wild Alaskan Fish Oil (1 softgel) – Value $0.23 (buy 60 for $13.76)

I can’t take fish oil because it’s not vegetarian, but in general, I definitely recommend getting omega-3 fatty acids to fight inflammation and lower your cholesterol. There are vegan/vegetarian algae-based EPA and DHA omega-3 supplements, but if you are not vegetarian, this could be a great option.

Synodrin Arthritis and Muscle Relief Gel (0.14 oz) – Value $0.70 (buy 3 fl oz for $14.99)

This is specifically marketed for your joints, but I don’t have joint pain or arthritis. I do have some muscle pain in my leg as a result of breaking in some new workout shoes, and this was about as soothing there as something like Bengay.

Inca Tea in Cusco Chamomile (1 bag) – Value $0.53 (buy 15 bags for $7.99)

We drink a lot of chamomile tea in my house but this brand is new to me. I found this one to be pretty good (it’s hard to describe the flavor of chamomile but you will recognize it here, for sure, if you are used to it, along with some additional citrus flavors) and relaxing at the end of the day.  I like the pyramid bag, too.

Aminovital Rapid Recovery in Blueberry (1 serving) – Value $1.43 (buy 14 servings for $19.99)

We received this in another flavor in either the regular Bulu Box or the weight loss version. I find drinks like this are really good at reducing delayed onset muscle soreness after a workout, although I also find that they make me retain 1-2 pounds of extra water if I consume them regularly. Your mileage may vary. I think I preferred the other flavor I received (lemon) to this blueberry one. I suggest mixing this up at half strength at first because products like this can be pretty strongly-flavored.

Truvia Sweetener (2 packets) – Value $0.12 (buy 1000 packets for $58.77)

There were also two packets of truvia. I am not the biggest fan of stevia (I actually like aspartame…) but this stuff is OK in Crio-Bru (cocoa beans you put in a coffee machine) along with some milk, so that is how I will use it.

Verdict: I calculated a value of about $32.48 for the October Bulu Box. While I don’t have an immediate need for the two highest-value products, they could be generally useful in the future. Most of the items this month were vegetarian, too, which is important for me (Bulu Box does not promise to cater to dietary preferences/allergies). This is the second month in a row of a very high-value box.

I’d strongly recommend using our MYSUB599 coupon code when you subscribe and choosing either the regular or the weight loss box, but not both since there is a lot of product repetition between the two. Points redemption has changed lately to be not so great (following the examples of Love with Food and Birchbox, I suppose) but I will be OK with that if the boxes continue to have high value in the long term.
