Lunch Box Ideas: This Week’s Half-Price Snack Picks

Lunch Box Ideas: This Week’s Half-Price Snack Picks

 

We all know school lunches can get repetitive fast — but that’s where the weekly specials come in handy. This week Woolies has some great ½ price snack options that are perfect for lunch boxes, after-school snacks, or even for us mums on the go.

At Spixal, we stick to the 80/20 rule, mostly nourishing wholefoods, but always a little room for treats. We also love to round out every bento box with good value fruits like apples, pears, and bananas.

Here are this week’s stand-out buys and how you can use them:

🛒 ½ Price Picks of the Week (Woolworths 3 Sep - Tue 9 Sep 2025)


 

Mighty Soft Raisin Toast

A family favourite! Pop a slice into the lunchbox with a little butter or cream cheese, or toast it up for an after-school snack.

Lunch box idea:
Cut into halves or little fingers for easy grab-and-go portions. Pairs nicely with apple slices or yoghurt.

Popcorners

Such a tasty crunch! They’re lighter than chips but still give that salty, satisfying bite.

Lunch box idea:
Divide into the bento box for recess or pair with cheese cubes and veggie sticks for a balanced snack.

Olina’s Bakehouse Mini Cookies

These mini cookies are such a handy lunchbox filler. Just the right portion size and a sweet little treat that kids love.

Lunch box idea:
Add a pack to your bento alongside a sandwich, some fruit, and a yoghurt pouch.

Vege Deli Crisps

Always a hit in our house. A crunchy, veggie-based snack that feels like a treat but makes an easy lunchbox side.

Lunch box idea:
Pop a small handful into the bento box with cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes, and a wrap.

Tom & Luke Snack Balls

I can’t wait to try these this week! Made with simple ingredients, they’re a fun way to mix up the usual snacks and keep things interesting.

Lunch box idea (these contain nut so not suitable for school but great for home and weekends):
Pair with banana slices, popcorners, and a boiled egg for a quick protein boost.

Keep It Balanced

As always, we love to finish every lunchbox with fresh fruit. Apples, pears, and bananas are still great value right now, and they’re reliably eaten (which means less waste!).

Mix and match these half-price snacks with fruit, a sandwich or wrap, and you’ve got affordable lunch box ideas your kids will look forward to.
