As mums, anything we can do to encourage our children to start the day with a healthy breakfast is a good thing.

Which is why we’re excited to introduce the new BIX app from Weet-Bix … that’s going to have kids everywhere lining up for a healthy breakfast.

How does the Weet-bix BIX App work?

Bix are like a trade-able currency.  You collect Bix every day using your BIX app while you eat your breakfast by scanning the QR code on special Weet-Bix packs and use them to access unique experiences, instant vouchers,prizes and gifts.

To start collecting Bix you need the BIX app.

The Bix app can be downloaded from the App Store to use on your iPhone or go to weetbix.com.au/bix to sign up on your smartphone or computer.

Bix can even be used to gain access to exclusive content like videos of pro tips from teenage superstars – look for the ‘Your Turn’ stuff in the USE section of the app. Plus simply scanning the QR code every day also gives you entries into competitions.

Find out more about the new BIX app here.

In the Weet-Bix BIX App review, mums selected to be part of the Weet-Bix App review team will receive a 750g pack of Weet-Bix containing the QR codes your kids can start downloading.  We’ll be asking mums and their families to download the BIX app, start collecting Bix, getting involved as much as possible and then post their review and ratings on this page.  You might even like to get your kids to post a review for you!

    My son got home on Friday and was so excited about the BIX app and then when we went through the prizes that you can achieve by scanning every day he was over joyed. I’m sure I’ll get reminded tomorrow to scan. I have also taken some nice photos that I will upload tomorrow.

My children get up and the first thing they want to do is scan their weet bix- after they have finished of course! The prizes are great will be interesting to see what is available when we have accumulated enough bix! I will be telling my friends about this one! Thanks!

  • Great and easy to use

    This is a great app to download and very easy to use. My kids have loved the prizes and get very exited each morning to scan the weet bix box. I would recommend this to kids over the age of 10 because they are likely to value the prizes . Over all it is a great app.

  • Absolutely fantastic and exciting app to use

    This App was amazingly easy to download. My son was so excited when we had a box of Weet-Bix turn up on our door and we investigated how to use the App. So many exciting things to look forward to. The scanner is so easy to use for kids and adults alike. Basically just by scanning every day whilst enjoying our favourite breakfast cereal we get to become eligible for rewards and great prizes! I’ll keep everyone posted on any prizes we may win! Fingers crossed.

  • It was a great idea.

    When I seen this advertised on the larger weetbix box I thought why not get the bigger box for the try out of the app etc for my boy. Well it was a let down. The app isn’t that great and like usual the prizes aren’t glamerous. My son does not really use or interact with the app anymore. It was easy enough to download but not being used so have deleted it since. Maybe for others it might be great but not in this family. Will still be eating weetbix though!

  • Dissapointing

    My kids eat week bix every morning for breakfast, and have done for years. When this promotion first become available i was really excited. However from the very beginning the app too ages to down load, some days the credits would work and other days the would not. It took ages for points to add up and then when I finally had enough to redeem a gift the app would not work and I lost my points.

  • Disappointing

    We’ll they got rid of that suddenly!it was great to start out with and we received an awesome huge breakfast bowl but after that it was hard to get anything good.i also had to delete the app a couple of times.if they brought it back though I’d probably use it again

  • Ended disappointingly

    Well, I’ll be a little wary of future Weetbix promotions. This app turned out to be problematic in the long run – it kept hanging, so I had to delete it and download it again at least once or twice most weeks. And it didn’t always register a scan, but then would refuse to accept a second try… More importantly, they seemed to forget half way through that it was about kids. Prizes were often put up during school hours or late at night, so not accessible to my kids at least; and then the promotion ended fairly abruptly, with very few prizes available in the last couple of months, leaving us with hundreds of unredeemable points. My kids were disappointed, and this wasn’t at all what we thought we were promised when the promotion started. I won’t want to get my kids too excited about future Weetbix promotions in case they’re disappointed again.

  • Very hard to work up to anything

    I downloaded the app for my son who eats weetbix most days, but we struggle to get enough ‘bix’ to earn any prizes so it is disappointing for him. Not worth the time or effort…

    My son loved the app like so many others. It would be great if they did this again as their consumers got a lot of fun and prizes from it. A great motivation for kids to have a healthy breakfast.

  • Great promotion for the kids had my son eating 8 weetbix a morning!

    Weetbix are a healthy, oldie and with the new sugary cereals available i felt that having this extra incentive makes it better for kids to engage with the product range and we got a few extras too!

  • frustrating

    We downloaded this after seeing it on MOM but have to admit its been forgotten in the breakfast rush, it would be good if you were committed to doing it all the time and had older children. And i have so many apps on my phone did I really need another one. Life is so hectic and everyone wants their bit of you.

  • The prizes were always 'sold out'

    every time we checked there never seemed to be prizes available. they had some great prizes but we never were able to redeem them. Then i upgraded my phone and when i reinstalled the app on my new phone all the points were gone. a bit disheartened but should’ve thought of that beforehand i guess. great idea though and i will think ahead next time.

    Pig downloaded this all after reading all the reviews from here. Such a really great and fantastic idea. My daughter loves her weetbix. And even though she is three I get her to scan the codes. She’s finds it really fun and enjoyable. With a little help from me she knows how to use it while I watch her.

  • sweet

    I must say. This is a genius idea as its something you can get your kids involved in daily and get them to eat weetbix since they are already pulling it out to scan the barcode. My 5 year old loved trying this app and ive lost track of how many times he has done this.

  • Not the greatest app

    The app was easy to download to my Iphone, but really thats where it stopped. Only one of my kids like weatbix and she does not eat it every day. I thought the app might encourage them to eat more but they were not really interest and on the morning my daughter did eat them we usually forgot about the app.

  • Pointless

    I found it silly that a breakfast cereal became an app. My kids aren’t into phones, ipods etc with apps so it was on no use to us. They love weetbix but it just wasn’t something they connected with. I ended up deleting the app off my phone once I realised they didn’t care.

Article Build A Sustainable Cleaning Kit For Just $10

Build A Sustainable Cleaning Kit For Just $10

If you’re looking for small, simple steps towards making your home more sustainable, switching up the way you clean is an absolute no-brainer. Something as small as creating own sustainable cleaning kit not only reduces your family’s impact on the environment, it’s a great way to stretch the budget.

Sustainable doesn’t have to be hard – it’s about smart choices and little know-how. Choosing cleaning products that are environmentally conscious and affordable – like Oates Earthly – makes putting together this kit a breeze.

We’re going to take you through exactly what you’ll need for a sustainable cleaning kit that costs less than $10 – including how to make your own enviro-friendly cleaning sprays. In just three easy steps you’ll have a kit that can tackle the kitchen, bathroom and general household cleaning for weeks.

Step 1: Grab Your Reusable Products

We’re only going to need three Oates Earthly products to make our kit an absolute weapon against grime and dirt around the home.

Oates Earthly Non-Scratch Sponge Scourer 2pk – $2.90
Perfect for delicate surfaces like glass, non-stick cookware and tiles, the Oates Earthly Non-Scratch Sponge Scourer is tough on stains and kinder to the planet. The scourer is made from responsibly-sourced coconut yarn and recycled polyester and the sponge material is 100% biodegradable cellulose. At under $3 for a two pack, this gives our cleaning kit one scourer for the dishes and another for bench tops.

Oates Earthly Non-Scratch Scourer 2pk – $1.75
Great for tough grime, but still gentle enough to be used on delicate surface like glass and tiles, the Oates Earthly Non-Scratch Scourer is made from responsibly-sourced coconut yarn and recycle polyester. And it’s less that two bucks for a two pack.

Oates Earthly Reusable Bamboo Wipes (10 Sheets) – $3.50
If a single roll of paper towel disappears in a week at your place adding the Oates Earthly Reusable Bamboo Wipes to your sustainable cleaning kit will be an absolute budget beater! They can clean any hard surface and are made from responsibly and sustainably sourced bamboo. Each wipe is washable up to 80 times, so one wipe is equivalent to 80 paper towels! Use them wet or dry for cleaning or dusting.

Step 2: Make Up A Kitchen Spray

You probably have everything you need for this kitchen spray on hand, and it only costs .50c to create a spray bottle worth! Reuse a spray bottle you already have and mix up the following:

  • 1 cup white vinegar (about $0.30 worth)
  • 1 cup water
  • A squeeze of lemon juice or a drop of essential oil (optional)

This mixture is great to use on benches, splash backs and stovetops.

Step 3: Mix Up A Bathroom Scrub

This paste costs just $1 to make and will tackle sinks, tiles and soap scum. Used with the Oates Earthly Non-Scratch Scourer the bathroom will sparkle in no time. Here’s what you need:

  • ½ cup bicarb soda (about $0.50 worth)
  • Add just enough water to form a paste

Once you’ve scrubbed the surface you’re cleaning, use a Oates Earthly Reusable Bamboo Wipe to buff the surface and watch it shine!

$10 Sustainable Cleaning Kit Cost

  • Oates Earthly Non-Scratch Sponge Scourer 2pk – $2.90
  • Oates Earthly Non-Scratch Scourer 2pk – $1.75
  • Oates Earthly Reusable Bamboo Wipes (10 Sheets) – $3.50
  • DIY Kitchen Spray – $0.50
  • DIY Bathroom Scrub – $1.00

Total: $9.65

For less than $10 you have a sustainable cleaning kit that will cleans dishes, benches, spills, grime, dust and the bathroom. There are no single-use products, less clutter in the cupboards, less impact on the environment and more money in your family budget.

  • Some great tips here! I have really been enjoying reviewing the Oates Earthy cleaning items. They are all really useful but my favourite has been the Bamboo clothes. The way they grab onto dust is like magic! And love how they’re machine washable for re-use. The lemon kitchen spray is a fantastic idea! I’ll definitely be trying this.

  • I have really enjoyed reviewing the Oates products. I love the reusable bamboo wipes the most. It’s such a great idea. It’s just like using paper towel, but it’s more sustainable and better for the environment because I can wash and reuse again. Besides they do a great job on glass!

  • An eco tip I just learnt, add squeezed out lemon halves into your cutlery basket in the dishwasher. Its a great way to add a nice smell to your machine and helps draw out nasty smells that like to stick around on dishes

  • I love all of them. I found they are doing great job of removing tough grimes on my dishes and pans. They are durable and doesn’t fall apart like other products i have used in the past. They actually help me to save my money and better for the planet too.

  • While i love the idea of this and certainly use some or very similar to this after having boys you cannot convince me not to clean toilet and sink with bleach .

  • The products you buy and use can make the biggest difference in your cleaning routine. Having the wrong kind of products, can often make the chore more tedious, especially if you have to put in more effort because of a poor product that wasnt right for the job. I definitely choose quality over price any day when it comes to my products!

  • This is a really great article that offers a lot of fantastic tips. Thank you for sharing these, I am going to have a look at the Oates products next time I am at the shops as I am keen to be more sustainable at home and have products that work well while looking after our environment.

  • I love the natural ingredients in the cleaning products! Vinegar is becoming a real star around here. The one thing i would add would be a magic whites. It would be even better if these had more longevity but we use them until they wither to nothing! They start woth cleaner jobs and make their way down to window tracks.

  • Thanks for sharing your tips. I never make up a cleaning kit as such but have all theses products (or similar) seperately throughout the house. I do like to make up my own cleaning spray too but rather than using squeeze of lemon I like to add some eucalyptus oil, which is great for cleaning and kills bacteria

  • I have just finished reviewing these 3 Oates Earthly products and I’m really impressed! They’re definitely an asset to have in your cleaning kit! And so affordable too. I love the Bamboo Reusable Wipes. They really grab onto the dust, grime and scum. The evidence is on the wipe and it’s very satisfying!

  • This is a really great article. Yes, I realise it’s kinda an ad too, but there’s really useful information. I love the bamboo wipes. When my kids were little, I went to Costco and bought a bundle of cloths – coarse material, a bit like old nappies – and I used them over and over for cleanups. And on the odd occasion it got too disgusting, they were cheap enough to toss out.

  • I love this!! Chemicals are in almost everything these days and cause so much harm to people without them realising! I definitely love natural cleaning options and wow! Reusable bamboo wipes!! They look fabulous! I need to get me some of those! I l hate waste and damaging the environment

    Reply

  • I absolutely love this article! We are all about making choices that have a smaller impact on the environment, and buying bottles of chemicals every few weeks definitely doesn’t help. Its amazing that a great cleaning kit can be made up spending such a little amount. I should have a fun package delivered today with all the sustainable cleaning bits I’ll need! Yay!

    Reply

  • It is more important than ever with the cost of living and lots of products costing more each shop to be able to source affordable products. We have a basic cleaning kit for the household and use a combination of products on special and natural products. It is a combination that works for us.

    Reply

  • This is a great article, thanks for posting actual recipes for cleaning as well! I always mean well on these things but still tend to buy cleaning products… albeit I am mindful about what I get with bubs in the house! I use cloth wipes for bubs wet nappies, so it albeit be hard to use and wash sustainable cleaning wipes! This is my commitment to change!
