Each week brings new specials, and this one is packed with classics and a few new things to try. Perfect for freshening up the school lunch routine (and saving a little along the way).
At Spixal, we live by the 80/20 rule: 80% nourishing wholefoods, 20% treats. Lunch boxes don’t need to be complicated, just balanced, practical, and fun. And of course, we always top up with fresh fruit like apples, bananas, and pears, great value and reliably eaten.
Here are our Woolworths ½ price picks this week, plus a few ways to use them:
🛒 ½ Price Picks of the Week at Woolworths
🥞 Greens Pancake Mix
Breakfast or lunchbox snack, pancakes always win. Cook up a batch on Sunday, cut them into bite-sized pieces, and freeze. They defrost beautifully for a mid-morning treat.
🍊 McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes
A nostalgic classic that my kids adore. A little sweet hit for the bento box or an after-school snack to tide them over until dinner.
🍕 Arnott’s Shapes (all varieties)
The whole range is on sale this week! I’m team Pizza Shapes (always), but which one is your favourite? Portion them into containers for a fun crunch that’s much cheaper than buying individual snack packs.
🍟 Party Size Chips (Smiths & Red Rock Deli)
The best buy this week. Instead of grabbing the multipacks, portioning chips into little tubs is far more cost-effective (and less packaging, too).
🥦 Infuzions Veggie Rings
These are new, and we’ll be trying them out this week. Crunchy, fun, and a different twist to the usual chips.
🌽 SunRice Mexican Style Rice
A lifesaver for busy days. These pouches make a quick, filling snack, heat, eat, and go. Perfect for teens or uni students, too.
🐟 SAFCOL Tuna Pouches
Great protein boost. Layer the tuna over rice with a drizzle of Kewpie mayo (yum!) and you’ve got a fast, satisfying meal. Bento-friendly and mum-approved.
🍱 Bento Box Lunch Ideas
Here are a few easy combos using this week’s specials:
1. Pancake Snack Box
2. Savoury Crunch Bento
-
English muffin with ham & cheese
-
Cucumber sticks + cherry tomatoes
-
Infuzions Veggie Rings
-
McVitie’s Jaffa Cake for balance
3. Tuna & Rice Power Box
-
SunRice Mexican Style Rice
-
SAFCOL Tuna pouch + drizzle of Kewpie mayo
-
Pear slices
-
Small handful of Red Rock Deli chips
🍎 Keep It Simple, Keep It Balanced
These specials make it easy to refresh your pantry and add variety to lunchboxes. Remember: it doesn’t have to be Pinterest-perfect. A sandwich, a snack, some fruit, and one of this week’s half-price goodies = winning lunch box.
