Around here, we live by the 80/20 rule. We eat healthy 80% of the time, but always enjoy a treat. Because let’s be honest: life (and lunchboxes) are all about balance.

With school back, now’s the time to save where we can, and lunchboxes are a great place to start.

🛒 What to Buy This Week (½ Price Woolies Picks) valid Wed 23 Jul - Tue 29 Jul 2025 

This week (23 July - 29 July 2025) at Woolworths, I’ve pulled together some of the best ½ price lunchbox-friendly specials to help you stock up without blowing the budget. These are great for lunchboxes, snack time, or even after-school treats.

🛒 This Week’s Lunchbox Stars:

• Mr Kipling Angel Cakes – were $6, now $3
  

• Cheezels – were $3.50, now $1.75 (and let’s be honest... who doesn’t love a Cheezel?)
  

• Goodness Me Fruity Sticks – were $6, now $3
  

• Breakfast cereals – Cocopops, Froot Loops, Just Right & Crunchy Nut are all on special too!
  
  

Cereal makes a great breakfast option or can double as a snack in the lunchbox (a handful of Just Right or Crunchy Nut in a little container is always a hit in our house).

🍱 Easy Budget Bento Box Ideas

Need some inspo for what to do with these specials? Here are 3 super simple, budget-friendly bento box combos you can try this week:

1. Cheezel Crunch + Sandwich Roll-Ups

• Main: Wrap or sandwich pinwheels with ham + cheese or hummus + grated carrot
  

• Snack: Cheezels (portion out a few into a little container)
  

• Fruit: Kiwi + pear slices
  

• Extra: Goodness Me Fruity Stick
  
  

2. Breakfast-for-Lunch Box

• Main: Mini pancakes (Mash a banana, add an egg and some flour, cook them up, and there you have easy pancakes)
  

• Snack: Mr Kipling Angel Cake
  

• Fruit: Frozen mixed berries – they defrost by lunchtime
  

• Extra: Yoghurt with a sprinkle of Just Right or Crunchy Nut on top (or a pouch ½ this week - we have an exciting product coming in this space, so keep a lookout)
  
  

3. Rainbow Snack Box (for little ones)

• Main: Cheese cubes + crackers
  

• Snack: Goodness Me Fruity Stick
  

• Fruit: Strawberries + kiwi

Saving doesn’t have to mean boring. A little planning, a few half-price goodies, and some simple swaps can go a long way in making lunchboxes a win for everyone.

Have a great week, and we will see you next week :D
