Last month supermarket giant Morrisons released its first "essentials box" with two options available; meat or meat free.
The boxes were launched at part of the retailer's "easy shop" which gives customers the option of selecting one of its pre-made shopping packages, including its £35 essentials box.
Due to the huge success of this initial box - with demand even causing its website to crash - Morrisons, last week announced the release of two new boxes.
The ‘Morrisons Market Kitchen Meal Box’ and The Morrisons British ‘Meat’ Box are now available to order online and promise to be filled with a variety of products.
If you want to order a box, you'll need to create an account on the Morrisons website by entering your name, email address and a password.
Or, if you already have a Morrisons online account, you can use your existing details using the ‘log-in’ button.
But, what is included inside these boxes?
The initial £35 food essentials box was released as a surprise to customers, with Morrisons saying the contents of the boxes are completely random, but the supermarket has promised that they are full of the essentials you'll need.
However, we ordered one of its essential boxes, so we've detailed what arrived in our box below. We've also rounded up the full contents of each of its other available boxes too.

Our review of Morrisons £35 food essentials box
We ordered the box and it arrived by courier the next day - which in the current circumstances impressed us.
The box contained a thank you note from Morrisons and was divided into chilled and non-chilled sections, with ice packs and wool packaging to keep the chilled food cold.
Overall, everything inside the box was practical under the circumstances and provided enough food to make quite a few good and healthy meals too.
