It’s that time again, new specials are out, and there are some great pantry staples to keep lunchboxes interesting without spending a fortune.
As always, we love to follow the 80/20 rule: mostly nourishing foods, with a few fun snacks to keep things exciting. Add in good-value fruit like apples, pears, and mandarins, and you’ve got balanced, affordable lunchboxes sorted for the week ahead.
Here are our stand-out Woolworths ½ price picks for this weekend, plus a few easy ways to use them:
🛒 ½ Price Woolworths Picks of the Week
Light, crunchy, and surprisingly moreish. Pop a few into the bento box with a little pot of hummus or French onion dip, instant winner!
Lunch box idea: Portion into small containers to keep them crisp, and pair with veggie sticks for dipping.
A reliable lunchbox filler. Kids love the crunch, and it’s an easy way to add variety without much effort.
Lunch box idea: Mix a small handful of vege chips with cherry tomatoes and cheese cubes for a colourful snack section.
Always a big hit in our house. They’re one of those snacks the kids never argue with, perfect for a treat day or to break up the week.
Lunch box idea: Pop one into the Friday lunchbox as a fun way to celebrate the end of the school week.
This one’s a little fancy! Sweet, crunchy, and drizzled with chocolate, such a yummy treat for kids (and mums).
Lunch box idea: Add a small portion to the bento for a sweet surprise, or keep it as an after-school snack.
These are brilliant for mornings on the run. Perfect with a piece of fruit for a simple, fuss-free breakfast, or as a mid-morning snack.
Lunch box idea: Pack one for recess alongside a yoghurt pouch and fresh pear slices.
Another half-price favourite this week! English muffins are so versatile and make a great base for quick, filling lunches.
Lunch box ideas:
-
Mini Pizza Muffins: Top halves with tomato paste, cheese, and ham or veg. Bake, cool, and pop into the lunchbox.
-
Egg & Cheese Muffin: Cook a scrambled egg, sandwich it in a toasted muffin with cheese, perfect for older kids or teens.
-
Simple Ham & Cheese: Toast lightly, add ham and cheese. Easy and budget-friendly.
Keep It Balanced
These ½ price picks are all about making life easier, but we always balance them out with fresh fruit. Apples, mandarins, and pears are still the best value right now, and they’re reliably eaten (less waste = more savings).
A mix of these specials, some fresh produce, and a simple main like a sandwich or wrap = lunchbox success!
