I was little surprised that I could only find few IGA black and white products lunch box items . I bought black and white tasty cheese, for a healthy lunch box iga black and gold was hard to find,as you have to buy ingredients black and white to make lunch box meal. I bought some fruits and vegetable to make it more colourful

A spectacular experience enjoying local, high-quality products at my nearest Ritchies IGA supermarket. Although this is my third week of shopping there, it certainly won't be my last. They've gained a new customer in me after I compared how much I could save at IGA.
Some of this week's best promotions included (but were not limited to) snacks and cereals for the kids, cleaning products for the family, and soft drinks. Don't miss out on the great Christmas specials either.

Heaps of Amazing Deals at Ritchies IGA New Lambton
This is my second week shopping at Ritchies IGA New Lambton, and I was certainly fascinated by the number of incredible discounts available to savvy shoppers. The supermarket is well stocked with a wide range of products, making it convenient for last-minute shopping but also for enjoying a family outing. In addition to the spectacular Extra Specials on cleaning and pantry products, the Black Friday deals were such a bargain that every dollar was well spent. Every day I become more convinced that IGA should be the number one choice for weekly grocery shopping for everyone in this fabulous community.

We both noodle and rice this shopping and very helpful staff help me to carry to my car. The fruit is quite cheap but high quality. We tried fresh pork belly this time and it is very fresh. A lot of asian stuffs and popular products. Will come back next time to buy indoor plants

Week 3 shop and once again impressed at some of the Extra specials found in store. Big savings on things like olive oil, and a good saving on items you use all the time like tinned tomatoes, soft drinks, recipe bases & more. Probably not as many extra specials to shop this week for me personally - a few of the extra specials were on things we don’t eat as a family (eg tuna tins) but for anyone who does there’s great prices to be found. We picked up a few extra little treats this week for an upcoming weekend away which I’ve never spotted anywhere else! A wide variety of items & again impressed by the value and friendly service at Ritchies IGA in Maclean.

Week 3 shop at Supa Valu Girrawheen complete! This was probably the best week yet. I was extremely impressed with the specials this week. My favourites were; $0.49 zucchini, Weet-bix $2.19 for 575g box, bag of Doritos for $2.19, chicken breast $7.99 per kg, and the paper towel 2 pack $1.89. Safe to say I stocked up on the Weetbix- what a bargain! Store was tidy and well organised. Plenty of available parking. No wait time at the checkout. Very happy with what I got for $60. I feel very fortunate to have been part of this mission and given this opportunity. My local IGA is quite expensive, but the SUPA VALU prices and specials are extremely competitive! Thanks for helping me discover a great place to shop! Great value for money!

It’s finally my last week at Supa Valu Romeos Doonside. I bought a few Extra Specials this week. Starting with Quilton 3ply toilet tissue 36 rolls value pack. What a steal for only $18!
Then there were some better than half price deals — Magnum mini ice cream 6 pack for $5.50. I saved $6.50 on this. Doritos for $2.20 each, saving $2.80 each. How good is that?! I also bought rump steak. A good deal as well. To finish off, I stocked up on essentials like lemon juice, noodles, canned tuna and sardines and corn kernels.
Doing my grocery shopping at IGA these past 3 weeks really made me realise that I’ve been missing on some great savings. Now I know to also check on the IGA catalogue weekly. Thank you for this opportunity.

Week 3 of IGA 60$ shopping - blessing and cheap prices
Week 3 of shopping gave us some more new stuff. I was sincerely impressed that I got it all for less than 60$. I got new ice cream to try and our favourite Doritos and Cheddar Shapes that we actually tried first after buying in IGA for half price! Even though not all items on specials, I bought heaps for such a small price!

I am so grateful to have a chance to be a reviewer for this project. It is so awesome to have an extra 60$ for shopping for 3 weeks. Myself and my husband are always looking forward to another Wednesday to get this gift card and get some stuff for our family.
Week 2 shopping in IGA Elermore Vale is another great experience. We bought some useful items for home and food wise. I don’t know why, but I didn’t see anywhere the tag “extra special” discount, only “special”, unless i have a pregnancy brain and don’t see stuff. Great value for money, but still can’t say that it would be cheaper than in other supermarkets. Great range of products by types. The cashier apparently was one of fairly new staff members as he couldn’t place the gift card properly in the system. Overall, amazing experience! Thanks!

My IGA at Mt Waverley had a few Extra Specials, but not as many as I'd noticed on previous occasions. Some good buys were to be had, so that's a bonus!

Apologies this is submitted late. I got lost of the days with a new born. Last shop at singleton IGA. Very limited extra special buys but lots of specials. If you shop correctly you can really get a lot for your money. Staff were friendly as always but did not know how to put in the voucher so I was stuck at the register holding everyone up.

For week 3 of the IGA extra specials at Rowville Ritchies IGA I feel like there were a few repeats, nevertheless another great week. The two stand out items were definitely the omo laundry detergent and the Cobram olive oil. The omo was $16 with a savings of $20! And the Cobram olive oil was $12 with a savings of $13! I saved a total of $58.50 on my total bill with all of the other items. The only thing that was a big weird was these two items didn’t actually display the extra specials price stickers on the shelves. I had seen them in the extra specials catalogue so I actually had to confirm with staff that they were at the extra special price, which they were. Apart from that bungle I’m happy to say that I will definitely be shopping at IGA for all the specials from now on! Great value for some of their specials and such friendly staff.

Hi all, headed into my local IGA store at Sutherland. Very impressed with the store as far as the quantity of extra specials available and well stocked and clean. However, the staff stock trolleys were in the middle of a few aisles making it difficult to move past with a trolley. The cashier sales assistant was not very friendly today which was unusual in comparison to the previous two shopping reviews.

I can't talk highly enough of my experience shopping at IGA Pentridge, every week has felt like a self care experience with fantastic treats, and those little extras that you can't find in Coles.
This week I picked up quite a few of the extra special treats, with mini magnum's at $5.50 a box, and Doritos at $2.20. my kids were very happy!
And for the mountains of laundry I do every day, the Omo tabs were fantastic value at $16 a 28 bag. I don't usually use the laundry capsules, but after picking some up in the extra specials last week, I have loved how easy and convenient they are.
I also want to acknowledge the amazing team at IGA Pentridge. My 2 year old twins joined my shopping trip on Saturday, and the team were so helpful throughout the store, and even let the twins help "pack the shopping bags" a highlight of their day.

I went along to my nominated store, Ritchies IGA in Mt Waverley, and scanned the shelves but I was disappointed this week. One product I had my eye on - FPFC High Protein Sweet Chilli Breast Tenders - was over $12, which was only a 90 cent saving - I don't think this qualifies as a Super Special but that's what it apparently was.

This week's saw some extra specials extra value sales and Supa Valu Doonside. The magnums were more than 50% off they were down $6.50 and only cost $5.50 per box. The Doritos are out absolute favourite for nacho nights and these were also down more than half price. Down $2.80 and cost me $2.20 per bag.
Again we tried some black and gold the pasta is actually really yum and what a cheap meal only $0.95 a bag.
It was a shame the calippos were out of stock that's another fav of ours

These are the specials I bought for $60.00 from Ritchie’s IGA Taree. I was surprised that Cobran’s olive oil $12.00 and the omo ultra S16.00 was an extra special marked with yellow tags were so cheap. The mangoes were 3 for $6.00 and the Kent pumpkin only $2.00 kg

I was again about to find everything I needed for my weekly shop. It has a very good range of items-especially Christmas items. The staff were excellent - friendly and super helpful. It was again confusing to determine the extra specials as they seemed to have Christmas special tags instead of extra special tags. I spent $62.69 and saved $17.11 which I am super happy with!

7 Simple Ideas That’ll Save You Hours Every School Week
If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).
There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.
1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts
Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!
Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!
2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week
Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!
The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.
3. Use A Family Calendar System
Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!
4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session
Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!
5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions
Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.
6. Have A Snack Station
Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).
7. Set Up A Family Charging Station
One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.
While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Biozet Attack to bring you this article.
There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!
There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.
The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.
A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.
We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.
I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!
I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.
I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
