🥪 Lunch Box Ideas for the School Holidays: This Week’s ½ Price Picks from Woolworths

School holidays are here! 🎉 Which means less rushing with lunchboxes every morning… but also more snacking, day trips, and “Mum, I’m hungry!” every five minutes.

This week Woolworths has some great half-price deals that make holiday food prep easier, whether you’re staying home, heading to the park, or packing for a road trip.

At Spixal, we still follow the 80/20 rule, wholefoods most of the time, with a little room for fun. It keeps everyone happy (and sane!) through the holidays.

🌯 Helga’s Wraps

Perfect for quick lunches at home or on a picnic. Fill them with chicken and salad, or get the kids to make their own pizza wraps with sauce, cheese, and veg.


🥨 Minis Range (Grain Waves, Twisties & Cheetos)

A holiday treat! Great for road trips or movie nights. We’re excited to try these minis, perfect portion sizes without needing to buy multipacks.


🐟 John West Tuna

A great protein boost. Toss through pasta, layer on rice with Kewpie mayo, or mix with mayo for sandwiches. Fast, filling, and budget-friendly.
