I picked up Active dishwashing liquid (lime) at my local IGA and I was very impressed. This is probably my favourite smelling liquid that I have tried. You don’t need to use much in your sink of water as it suds up well. At only $3 a bottle it was really inexpensive. It cleaned the dishes perfectly and went to work on the grease without any need for scrubbing. I definitely recommend!

The Lime dishwashing liquid had a pleasant smell and cleaned the dishes well. We used the dishwashing liquid directly on the sponge with a bit of water. It cleaned the dishes really well. It was also easy to rinse the dishes post soaping them. It did not leave a soapy residue on the dishes. We will definitely be purchasing it again.

An effective and pleasantly fragranced dishwashing liquid!
I loved trialling this Active Expert dishwashing liquid! At only $3 per 900ml bottle, it's excellent value for money for such an effective product! It left my dishes squeaky clean and smelling fresh! I loved the lemon fragrance the most, but the lime one was just as effective and quite pleasant as well. As it's concentrated, you don't have to use very much as it goes a long way and cuts through the grease effectively. I highly recommend this dishwashing liquid for a cost-effective product that really works!

I love the fresh lemon scent and only need to use a very small amount of detergent to get a nice frothy bubble that effectively cuts through oil, grease and dare I say even makes easy work of the crusty, old dishes that I find in my sons room! When I have scrimped on detergent in the past I always need to use so much more so it is effectively a false economy. I would be happy to buy Active from now on and look forward to trying the lime scent soon.

I was given the chance to try the IGA laundry pods, dishwashing tabs and dishwashing liquid.
Dishwashing Liquid: Both lemon and lime variants smelled the same. I found the liquid too runny and hard to get proper suds. You need more product to get a good sudsy sponge. Not a huge fan as I feel like I waste too much product and although it is affordable, I would still choose a different brand as pricewise if the other brand goes on Special it would not be much of a difference.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place!

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

A little goes a long way with this lemon scented dishwashing liquid. You only need a small amount and it soaps up nicely. The lemon scent is only light, but it’s enough to leave my dishes smelling fresh. The dishwashing liquid is easy to dispense and cleans my dishes well leaving them sparkling clean.

The lemon dishwashing liquid was great value. It cleaned the dishes very well and wasn’t harsh on my hands. It did a great job cleaning my dishes, even the oily ones. The bottle was a very generous 900ml. We use it directly on the sponge and found that it worked great.

The Lime dishwashing liquid had a great scent and cleaned the dishes well. I used the product on the sponge with a little bit of water and it cleaned really well. I didn't have to put in much of effort at all. Loved the product and will definitely be buying this regularly. I have already let a few friends know about it as well ;-)

The Lime dishwashing liquid had a pleasant smell and cleaned the dishes well. We used the dishwashing liquid directly on the sponge with a bit of water. It cleaned the dishes really well. It was also easy to rinse the dishes post soaping them. It did not leave a soapy residue on the dishes. We will definitely be purchasing it again.

I tried the Activ dishwashing liquid. Ill never use any other dishing washing liquid. It made my glassware shine like never before and no yucky foamy residue either a plus. It was heavy duty on getting my cutlery and plates clean but not harsh on the environment or my hands.

I loved trialling this Active Expert dishwashing liquid! At only $3 per 900ml bottle, it's excellent value for money for such an effective product! It left my dishes squeaky clean and smelling fresh! I loved the lemon fragrance the most, but the lime one was just as effective and quite pleasant as well. As it's concentrated, you don't have to use very much as it goes a long way and cuts through the grease effectively. I highly recommend this dishwashing liquid for a cost-effective product that really works!

Active Expert Dishwashing Liquid LEMON Review
I love the fresh lemon scent and only need to use a very small amount of detergent to get a nice frothy bubble that effectively cuts through oil, grease and dare I say even makes easy work of the crusty, old dishes that I find in my sons room! When I have scrimped on detergent in the past I always need to use so much more so it is effectively a false economy. I would be happy to buy Active from now on and look forward to trying the lime scent soon.

Nice scent, a little runny
I was given the chance to try the IGA laundry pods, dishwashing tabs and dishwashing liquid.
Dishwashing Liquid: Both lemon and lime variants smelled the same. I found the liquid too runny and hard to get proper suds. You need more product to get a good sudsy sponge. Not a huge fan as I feel like I waste too much product and although it is affordable, I would still choose a different brand as pricewise if the other brand goes on Special it would not be much of a difference.

Brilliant value for money.

I picked up Active dishwashing liquid (lime) at my local IGA and I was very impressed. This is probably my favourite smelling liquid that I have tried. You don’t need to use much in your sink of water as it suds up well. At only $3 a bottle it was really inexpensive. It cleaned the dishes perfectly and went to work on the grease without any need for scrubbing. I definitely recommend!

I really like the scent of this lime dishwashing liquid. It’s subtle but it smells fresh and leaves my dishes smelling fresh also. It cleans my dishes well, they look shiny and clean once washed with this liquid. You don’t need to use much as it’s a nice consistency and soaps up well. It’s a great value dishwashing liquid.
