I was very impressed when I got to try the black and gold products. The cashier unfortunately couldn’t get the voucher to work but I still went and bought the products as they were such good value. We got so much stuff and made some ham and cheese scrolls and Vegemite scrolls. Also some scones with jam and cream. The quality of the products were great and the kids loved their lunchbox snacks.
The scrolls were black and gold puff pastry sheets with tomato sauce and ham and cheese and Vegemite and cheese. Roll them up and cut them into little circles. Place on a lined tray. Bake in oven for 10-15mins at 160 degrees fan forced. Enjoy.

Wanted to share this super simple recipe for pan pancakes which is a super easy lunch box snack.
I used black and gold self raising flour, and it worked an absolute treat!
To start, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Mix sifted flour into a large bowl with sugar and baking powder. Mix in 3 eggs. Add vanilla extract. Slowly pour in cups of milk and stir until a smooth but thick consistency. Then pour th3 mix into a lined rectangle pan. Cook on 180 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes (check after 15 minutes and cook an additional 5 if needed). Let cool and then enjoy!
Ingredients:
3 cups of sifted self raising flour
3 free-range eggs
1 tbs baking powder
1 1/2 tbs vanilla extract
3-4 tbs caster sugar
2 cups of light milk
4 tbs organic mixed berry jam (as a top spread).

This recipe requires staple ingredients which I picked up from IGA MtWaverley and is perfect for a lovely lunch box morning tea. My Greek shortbread style biscuits require mainly items in the Black and Gold range - Plain flour, SR flour, raw sugar, cream and butter. I also needed eggs and oranges for their juice and grated rind. Mix all ingredients together to make a dough and form into shapes. After baking we end up with fragrant orange buttery biscuits that kids love and can be popped in the lunch box. Along with some fresh fruit they make a delicious morning tea. I love that most of the ingredients are Black and Gold so the savings are great and as this range is high quality, the biscuits are both delicious and economical!

After successfully making my lunchbox quiches with black and gold ingredients, I headed back to my local IGA to stock up on some black and gold pantry staples to make the kids some choc chip cookies. All the ingredients were easy to find, amazing value and were very comparable to the big name brands. I purchased black and gold self raising flour, white suagr, brown sugar, butter and choc chips. Recipe as below:
Choc chip cookies
- 125g butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 3/4 cups self raising flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup choc chips
- 60g chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 180°C and line baking trays with baking paper. Cream together the butter, sugars and vanilla essence. Gradually add the beaten egg, then sift in flour. Stir in the salt, choc chips and walnuts. Shape teaspoons of mixture into balls and arrange on trays allowing space for spreading. Press each ball down to slightly flatten. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Makes about 30 cookies
The walnuts can be omitted if the school has a no nuts policy.

I made another lunchbox classic for my child for school using black and gold products since doing a product review previously for Mouth of mums using black and gold products.
The black and gold products I purchased to make this fun lunchbox were corn, sultanas, cheese, tomato sauce, puff pastry and tuna. It was very easy to construct. My little one enjoyed it, there’s never food leftover hehe.
It’s fun for my my little one, it makes it exciting to eat and an added bonus is it is highly nutritious. Black and gold products are great value and are a staple in my household.

I have enjoyed shopping at IgA and using Black and Gold products for more lunch box fillers! I purchased and used the following ingredients to make nut-free lamington bliss balls:
- 1 cup Black & Gold rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Black & Gold cocoa
- 1 cup Black & Gold desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons Black & Gold maple syrup
- 12 fresh pitted dates
All ingredients were placed in a blender, rolled into balls and more coconut then refrigerated. Makes 12-20 bliss balls depending on the size you make them.
These were very much enjoyed by my Preppie!

Pleasently surprised by the local IGA. Prices were affordable and quite often matched other big supermarkets, good specials, and the deli area was great. The basics (flour & zuchini's for the slice) were well priced and very affordable. So affordable and such good quality that I stocked up on other basics that weren't part of the recipe but that I used to make muffins and lunchbox treats for the kids and afterschool. It made a difference to the budget and at the moment, with the cost of living as high as it is, every little bit helps.

IGA keeps wining in my preferred choice of supermarkets
Black and Gold wholemeal bread is still high on the agenda but so has cheddar cheese slices that Black and Gold has also proved to be a favourite and melts really well on the cheese muffins I make for my daughters lunches.

I purchase IGAs black and gold range weekly. They have a big range of products at exceptional value. I’ve made pancakes, bread rolls and more for my kids lunches just from black and gold ingredients. Not only is the black and gold range great value but IGA has fresh fruit and veg, a variety of deli meats and a lot more yummy snacks for me to include in my children’s lunchboxes. IGA has everything I need at affordable prices. I will be back!

I used the black and gold oats and a few other ingredients (mostly pantry staples) to bake this delicious banana and blueberry oat slice. This recipe is easy to make, very cost affective, can be enjoyed for a quick easy brekky warm or cold. It also freezes and reheats nicely for prepping convenience. It’s so good it’s nearly like a dessert for brekky.
I like to bake a tray to eat fresh and a tray to feeeze. I serve it with some Greek yoghurt (or yoghurt if your choice).
Find the recipe below!
Ingredients:
2 bananas sliced long ways
2 cups of oats
2 cups of milk
2 tablespoons of honey (optional)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract/essence
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional hut I found without it it was a bit too soft)
1 cup of blueberries (I used frozen)
Method:
-Spray/ grease your baking dish
-Line the bottom with the sliced bananas
-Cover the bananas with the oats- I also then sprinkle over the chia seeds.
-Combine the milk, eggs, honey, vanilla and cinnamon then pour over the oats.
-Top with your blueberries.
-Bake for around35-40 minutes until the top is golden.
Eat as is or serve with some yoghurt on top.
If freezing allow to cool completely before portioning, I wrapped mine in baking paper then cling wrap to allow easy reheating in the paper without making a mess!

I love shopping at IGA because it’s so close by rather than the long drive to bigger supermarkets. My favourite part at my IGA is the hot food in the deli which is good price and delicious such a quick easy lunch for me and the kids. Although IGA can be more pricy compared to other supermarkets it’s well worth it for the quality and freshness

Loving the IGA home brand products. The flour is a great quality, and helps to make some lovely snacks, when tossed in the mix. Some delicious home made Blueberry Muffins that came together nicely, add to the home made mix some fresh and delicious fluffy pancakes, a nice side to have with all that yummy fresh fruit.

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.
With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.
“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.
She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.
Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.
“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.
So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.
“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.
But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.
The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.
“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”
She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.
“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”
It’s The Little Things That Add Up
For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.
“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.
But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.
“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.
Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.
“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”
But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.
And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.
With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.
That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.
But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.
And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”
The Only Mop You’ll Need
Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.
“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”
After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.
“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”
For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.
“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”
Her final verdict?
“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.
This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.
Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!
Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.
This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract/essence
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional hut I found without it it was a bit too soft)
1 cup of blueberries (I used frozen)
Method:
-Spray/ grease your baking dish
-Line the bottom with the sliced bananas
-Cover the bananas with the oats- I also then sprinkle over the chia seeds.
-Combine the milk, eggs, honey, vanilla and cinnamon then pour over the oats.
-Top with your blueberries.
-Bake for around35-40 minutes until the top is golden.
Eat as is or serve with some yoghurt on top.
If freezing allow to cool completely before portioning, I wrapped mine in baking paper then cling wrap to allow easy reheating in the paper without making a mess!

Here is the recipe:

Butter - 1 tablespoons
Milk - enough to make a pourable batter
Sugar - as per your preference
Eggs - one
Mix the ingredients together to make a loose batter.
Pour onto your pan
Wait for the Pancakes to bubble
Flip and serve
Optional: you can add fruits. I used a drizzle of honey here.

Black and Gold products from Super IGA
The black and gold products I purchased to make this fun lunchbox were corn, sultanas, cheese, tomato sauce, puff pastry and tuna. It was very easy to construct. My little one enjoyed it, there’s never food leftover hehe.
It’s fun for my my little one, it makes it exciting to eat and an added bonus is it is highly nutritious. Black and gold products are great value and are a staple in my household.
