School Holiday Snack Ideas: This Week’s Woolworths ½ Price Picks
School holidays are here which means kids at home… and constant calls of “Muuum, I’m hungry!” 🙃 Having a mix of fun treats and quick, filling snacks on hand makes the days so much easier.
This week Woolworths has some great half-price deals that are perfect for holiday snacking, whether you’re home, heading to the park, or doing a day trip.
At Spixal, we keep things simple with the 80/20 rule: wholefoods most of the time, with room for a treat. And fruit always comes first, apples, berries, pears, bananas, mandarins or whatever’s in season keep the balance (and the budget) in check.
🛒 This Week’s Stand-Out Picks
🌊 Hooleys Waves
A crunchy crowd-pleaser for movie nights or road trips. Portion into containers for individual serves, cheaper (and less mess) than handing over the bag!
🥔 Smith’s Double Crunch Chips
Big flavour, big crunch. These are great for family sharing bowls or adding a handful to a bento for a salty snack fix.
🍦 Peter’s Mini Drumsticks
The perfect holiday treat. Small enough for kids, and fun enough that they’ll think they’ve scored big. Keep these in the freezer for a cool afternoon pick-me-up.
🍫 Cadbury Cherry Ripe Mini Bars
For mums (or older kids) who want a little treat. Great for portion control too, one mini bar hits the spot without overdoing it.
🐟 Sole Mare Salmon Fillets
A quick, protein-packed option. Add to salads, wraps, or rice bowls for an easy lunch at home.
🥥 SunRice Coconut Rice
Fast and filling. Heat and serve as a side, or top with salmon and sliced cucumber for a quick DIY poke bowl.
🍜 Continental Asian Laksa Cup-A-Soup
An easy warm snack for chilly days (Spring is giving winter vibes at the moment here in SA). Pair with toast or veggie sticks for something more filling.
🍲 Sumin K-Pow Noodle Bowls
Perfect for teens who are always hungry. Quick to make, filling, and a fun holiday lunch they can sort themselves.
🍮 Aunt Betty’s Saucy Centres (Chocolate)
A cosy dessert for movie nights or rainy days at home. Heat, serve, and watch them disappear.
🍱 Holiday Bento Ideas
Even on holidays, bento-style boxes are a winner, they stop the endless grazing and keep snacks balanced. Here are some ideas using this week’s specials:
1. Picnic Bento
-
Wrap with salmon + salad (using Sole Mare fillets + Helga’s wraps if on hand)
-
Cucumber sticks & cherry tomatoes
-
Hooleys Waves portioned out
-
Fresh pear slices
2. Movie Night Bento
-
Mini Drumstick (for dessert)
-
Small handful of Smith’s Double Crunch
-
Carrot + celery sticks with dip
-
Berries or apple slices
3. Quick Lunch Bento
-
SunRice Coconut Rice + salmon
-
Continental Laksa soup in a thermos
-
Mini Oreo or Cherry Ripe bar for a treat
-
Banana for balance
🍎 Keep It Balanced
Snacking doesn’t have to mean chaos during the holidays. Offer fruit first, then add one of these half-price finds, and finish with something filling like wraps, rice, or noodles. It keeps the kids happy and the budget intact.
