I could not fault the IGA Meal Solutions range, there was so much to choose from and it all sounded incredible. Serving sizes were great, there was minimal effort required for preparation and all of it went in the oven so I could get other stuff done while I waited.

My whole family loved IGA Meal Solutions Scalloped Potato Bake. So easy to make and delicious to eat!! It was ready in 20 minutes. Turned out amazing!! My family and I where blown away by how good it was. 5 star rating by far the best potato bake I have had and my family said the same. Lovely the next day and holds together well. This was our first time trying it and I will definitely be buying it again.
Unfortunately I couldn't find side and dessert in the Meal Solutions range at my IGA so I bought what's available in store. I bought coleslaw salad and chocolate mud cake for dessert. My family loved it. Definitely my go-to dinner from now on on busy weeknights!!

Our family tried the Chinese Style Chicken Nibbles. They were delicious. Super easy to prepare. Just pop in an oven dish for 25mins and that’s it. Lots of sauce in the oven dish to dip chicken into. I love how convenient and easy to prepare these meals are, will definitely buy again in the future.

Delicious Lamb falling off the bone in just 10 minutes !
This was truly a winner dish! I just opened the packet and popped it in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 180°C — so quick and easy. My family especially loved the lamb - it was tender, juicy and full of flavour. The portion size was generous too. I served it with simple slices of cucumber and tomato seasoned lightly and finished the meal with homemade chocolate mousse for dessert. I’d highly recommend the IGA Meal Solutions — perfect for nights when you’re not in the mood to cook but still want something delicious!

I tried the Chinese style pork from the IGA meal solutions range and it was super easy to prepare. Ready in 20 minutes and the pork was so soft it was falling apart! Super flavourful and super easy, a big hit with my little ones. I also got a salad and a pack of brownies to complete the meal and it fed my family of two adults, a 4yo and a 2yo. I’d recommend the meal solutions range for anyone after an easy meal that tastes good and is super convenient too.

Delicious no fuss meals that the whole family will enjoy!
I'm very impressed with the flavours of the IGA Meal Solutions range. I was also very surprised of the price! We had the Chicken Breast joints which were very succulent and flavoursome. My 7yo granddaughter (who is a very fussy eater) scored it a 100/10 😀.
We also had the lamb shanks. Omg!!! These were soooo tender and popped with flavour! We have already repurchased and will be a regular on our menu! We paired our meals with the creamy potato mash and mixed roast vegetables. The roast veges were divine!
Our local IGA didn't have any of the IGA Meal Solutions desserts in stock which was a shame as I was so looking forward to trying them!
Overall the Meal Solutions range is affordable, tasty and a quick and easy dinner solution that is essential for Mums night off cooking.

I picked up the Middle Eastern Lamb Shoulder and the Chocolate Cake slice from the new range. I pairedthese wuth a green salad, garlic bread and twirly fries. The result? A trully delicious Sunday lunch that impressedmy guests and was oh so simple to male.
Firstly, thst lamb was so juicy and tender. It was very moreish with a number of fine spices. It melted in your mouth. We had it withsides but it would also be lovely to eaton a wrap with salad.
The chocolate cake was really decadent. A soft chocolate cake filled and topped off with a chocolate icing that was decorated with white swirls. I am really excited to try more of the IGA Meals range amd I know my guests agree!

Shopping at IGA and seeing all of their fantastic easy dinner options this year has been such a joy! This evening I prepared a Garlic & Herb Seasoned Porchetta Roast from IGA with accompanying roast potatoes, sweet potato, roasted carrot, mushroom and corn! It was absolutely delicious and I am so pleased we decided on this dish prepared with fresh ingredients from IGA.
If you are time poor (like me) IGA have a wonderful array of options to save you from slaving away for hours in the kitchen. More time for family and enjoying the festive season without compromising on delicious food! Thank you IGA!

I loved trying the meal solution range. There was something there for the whole family and ready in as little as 20 minutes!

Highly recommend

We recently tried IGA’s Meal Solutions range and were so pleasantly surprised — everything was delicious! We love that they offer a variety of mains, sides, and desserts all in one spot. Even better, the meals were already marinated and ready in under 30 minutes.
We chose the orange and almond cake slices and added some whipped cream — the perfect way to finish the night. It’s easy, convenient, and tasty. Definitely check out IGA’s Meal Solutions range!

We tried the IGA meal solutions this week for our family. Lamb shanks and potato bake. We got several servings of the same so we could all sample. Everyone received the meal well, with your kids trying a bit of everything. We made some extra gravy and garnished with some fresh herbs My husband loved the dinner, and my smallest babe found the shredded up lamb delicious! We also tried the cheesecake slices, not pictured here, which were equally impressive

Hi all I shopped and purchased my IGA Meal Solutions from the Riches IGA Taren Point. I found the shopping experience really easy and quick. The store itself is amazing, clean and I was able to get all my groceries in one spot with a great variety and prices competitive. The staff were so lovely. I found that the pork belly and potato bake were probably too expensive for me to purchase as a standard purchase however they were simple to prepare and tasty. My family enjoyed them both very much, making it easy to organise a healthy substantial meal for my family. I also purchased some custard tarts for dessert which were reasonably priced and yummy.

Never thought of purchasing an already cooked meal!
These packages are very fresh and full of deliciousness. I just picked one up as I get too short on time most nights for dinner and really couldn’t order takeout again this week.
I chose the ribs and Chinese chicken nibbles and to my delight they were delicious!
I added just some wedges and sour cream and sweet chilli sauce just to make things easy for the night and well it was a hit!
Iga was so easy and close for me to drop by and always just easy to find things.
I was hoping there was more in the range because I did see there was a potato bake I would have liked to try , but not a large selection in store.
They also do desserts. Oh my god I am hoping to try them soon!
Too easy!

We got the community Co - garlic and cheese bread for starters, Dr Oetker's spinach pizza for mains and for dessert the chocolate cake slice. It was very easy to prepare and ready in minutes. The cheese and garlic bread was a bit dry and not very cheesy, we loved the spinach pizza and the chocolate cake slice. The pizza was tasty and the spinach melted in your mouth, the cake was moist and the right amount of sweet. Overall these products are great specially when we are stuck on ideas as to what to cook for dinner.

Convenient, easy and hearty - perfect for busy family weeknights.
It was super easy to prepare all these for dinner - just chuck the lamb shanks in an oven safe tray, and cover with foil - when it was time to take the foil off (just 20min later), I also put in the garlic bread. Making the salad was again so easy to just put it in a bowl and toss it all together. 10min after I put the lamb and bread back in the oven, it was all ready and on the table!
You can't really go wrong with salad, garlic bread and cake (at least not according to my husband!) but the lamb shanks sauce was a little thin compared to how I like to have my gravy. It probably would have been better with some mashed potato to soak it all up, as opposed to the bread, but it was still very tasty and filling!

I could only get a main meal at my IGA, but the Middle Eastern lamb shoulder was amazing. Only 30 mins in the oven and I had tender, fall apart lamb. The flavour was amazing and it was nice and tender with plenty of sauce. We had ot with a lettuce salad pack, plus roasted capsicum and a garlic dip. Just delicious.
I'll definitely be looking to try more in the range.

I could only get 1 item after a few attempts. It was the Chicken Breast Joint. It wasn’t a win for us. The meat itself had a strange off putting consistency. I know I would have loved a few of the other options, just a shame I couldn’t get them in store. I will keep looking out for them and hopefully get to try some of the sides and desserts soon.

Great for nights when you don't have the energy to cook
Our family tried the IGA Meal Solutions lamb shanks in red wine and rosemary jus, La Famiglia Kitchen traditional garlic bread and Sara Lee French vanilla cheesecake. Everything was super convenient, easy to prepare, on the table quickly and, importantly, very tasty. I definitely recommend these meal kits/meal solutions for those nights when you don't have the energy (or time) to cook! Family-approved!

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.

So easy to make and my family loved it!!
Unfortunately I couldn't find side and dessert in the Meal Solutions range at my IGA so I bought what's available in store. I bought coleslaw salad and chocolate mud cake for dessert. My family loved it. Definitely my go-to dinner from now on on busy weeknights!!

Delicious no fuss meals that the whole family will enjoy!
We also had the lamb shanks. Omg!!! These were soooo tender and popped with flavour! We have already repurchased and will be a regular on our menu! We paired our meals with the creamy potato mash and mixed roast vegetables. The roast veges were divine!
Our local IGA didn't have any of the IGA Meal Solutions desserts in stock which was a shame as I was so looking forward to trying them!
Overall the Meal Solutions range is affordable, tasty and a quick and easy dinner solution that is essential for Mums night off cooking.

Delicious Sunday lunch
Firstly, thst lamb was so juicy and tender. It was very moreish with a number of fine spices. It melted in your mouth. We had it withsides but it would also be lovely to eaton a wrap with salad.
The chocolate cake was really decadent. A soft chocolate cake filled and topped off with a chocolate icing that was decorated with white swirls. I am really excited to try more of the IGA Meals range amd I know my guests agree!

Delicious Garlic & Herb Seasoned Porchetta Roast!
If you are time poor (like me) IGA have a wonderful array of options to save you from slaving away for hours in the kitchen. More time for family and enjoying the festive season without compromising on delicious food! Thank you IGA!

We chose the orange and almond cake slices and added some whipped cream — the perfect way to finish the night. It’s easy, convenient, and tasty. Definitely check out IGA’s Meal Solutions range!

IGA Ready Meal - Sweet Soy Pork Belle Bites
I do find it too greasy in the sauce and the port belly cut was with too much fat for my preference.
The sauce and the overall taste is too sweet and salty for my preference.

So convenient!
These packages are very fresh and full of deliciousness. I just picked one up as I get too short on time most nights for dinner and really couldn’t order takeout again this week.
I chose the ribs and Chinese chicken nibbles and to my delight they were delicious!
I added just some wedges and sour cream and sweet chilli sauce just to make things easy for the night and well it was a hit!
Iga was so easy and close for me to drop by and always just easy to find things.
I was hoping there was more in the range because I did see there was a potato bake I would have liked to try , but not a large selection in store.
They also do desserts. Oh my god I am hoping to try them soon!
Too easy!

Convenient, easy and hearty - perfect for busy family weeknights.
You can't really go wrong with salad, garlic bread and cake (at least not according to my husband!) but the lamb shanks sauce was a little thin compared to how I like to have my gravy. It probably would have been better with some mashed potato to soak it all up, as opposed to the bread, but it was still very tasty and filling!

Easy and simple
I found the IGA Meal Solution lived up to my standards of quick and easy.
Super simple to follow all steps in the pack of the package.
I just wish these meals were available at more IGA around, the three that are close to me didn’t have the range in store.
