  • Nice and Crunchy

    I only got a bowl of the cereal because my 4-yr-old gobbled it up before I could have anymore! She especially loved the crunch of the flakes, and liked the ratio of flakes to sultanas. I liked the maltiness of the flakes a lot and it's now on our 'staple' shopping list.

  • I love Select Sultana Bran cereal. Ii have it for breakfast and in the middle of the night. Have always liked the taste and the fact that it is healthy. At times I have eaten it without milk as a snack. I like that you can buy it in really big boxes to save money.

  • Opened Yesterday......All Gone Today! (Saturday)

    Our box of cereal arrived on Thursday afternoon, opened it for breakfast Friday morning and managed to scrape up one more bowl for breakfast for myself this morning! I have four kids aged 14, 11, 10 & 8 - it was a huge hit with them - they loved it and so did I! I would have liked a few more sultanas but overall I thought it was delicious and extremely good value for money and will definately be buying thus product again!

  • No taste

    Woolworths Select Great Start Bran & Sultana Cereal is definitely cheaper than other brands of cereal offering a similar product.

    In saying that however, the taste was not just there. The flakes almost tasted like cardboard, and it wouldn't hurt if more sultanas were added.

    Even though Woolworths Select Great Start Bran & Sultana Cereal is less expensive than others, I'd rather pay a little bit more for a product that I actually enjoy.

  • Family did not like it

    I bought this as it looked ok, and I thought that I would try and rein in the family budget a little, however my boys did not like it, they told me it was disgusting, I did not try it myself, certainly the price point was why I purchased it but having to throw it out negated that choice, they said that the flakes were chewy and nothing like the other cereals that they normally had, one had a nut or fruit piece that was to hard to chew, I do not think that they quality of ingredients are as good as most Woolies products that I have tried, I can only go on the advice from my adult sons, the price was great, but they did not like the taste, the ingredients seem to be of low quality and therefore poor value for money overall, I would not purchase again.

  • Not a great substitute for similar cereals

    I transfer my cereal into plastic containers. This morning hubby grabs what he thinks is sultana bran and proceeds to eat. After he's had a few mouthfuls he simply states "this isn't sultana bran." Woolworths Select Great Start Bran & Sultana Cereal needs to improve for me to buy again. The flakes are bit like cupboard and there's not nearly enough sultans. Not a great substitute for similar type cereals.

  • Needs more sultans

    Woolworths Select Great Start Bran and Sultana Cereal is pretty bland however you can jazz it up by adding extra fruit yourself. Not overly fussed on this cereal, I could easily take it or leave it. I really don't think I would buy woolworths Select Great Start Bran and Sultana Cereal again, maybe if they added more sultanas, not many in the pack.

  • Good breakfast to start with

    We brought this cereal from Woolworth 3 months back, initially we did not like that much, but slowly slowly we liked it.but it is very sweet on one side,, but it seems healthy as well, the kids like the sultanas in those.. it is fat free and it is great source of iron. Quality is good, but not suitable for daily breakfast as it is very sweet. but can have this occasionally

    Quality of ingredients are good...

  • Only okay

    Woolworths Select Great Start Bran and Sultana Cereal is only oaky. It's not outstanding, a bit light on the sultanas, and the flakes are missing that crunch. Saying that, you can make it better by adding some chopped banana or strawberries however, I don't think I would bother buying this product again.

  • give it a try

    so this cereal is nice but i don't know if they have just changed something but my cereal is a little different/ the bran flakes are more like cardboard and not really much flavour any more. i add extra fruit to mine and this helps it taste nicer. the rest of the cereal is the same as always. this is also a great night time snack to have and probably still a lot better than other snack options.

  • Not enough Sultanas

    I tried Woolworths Select Great Start Bran & Sultana cereal as an alternative to Sultana Bran and you could tell that it wasn't of the same quality. The bran flakes are a bit cardboardish and there are no way near enough sultanas! I don't like buying a cereal where you have to add extra sultanas and fruit and let it sit before it is nice to eat. The price might be cheaper than the alternative and there's an obvious reason why. If they had filled it with plump, juicy sultanas it would have tasted better.

  • Just ok

    My normal cereal was not there so I thought I would try this.

    this cereal was pretty nice but I had to add more sultanas to it as there did not seem to have enough off them in it. I had to give it an extra minute to soak up the milk as the cereal did seem to take a little bit longer to absorb the milk. Was a ok buy but would not be in a hurry to buy it again

  • nice cereal

    this cereal was pretty nice and i always add bananas or some type of fruit with it. I had to give it an extra minute to soak up the milk as the cereal did seem to take a little bit longer to absorb the milk. i thought that it tasted pretty nice. I would have liked to see it a little cheaper to buy.

  • Not quite sultana bran

    Normally I am a sultana bran girl, but having read these reviews I decided to try it. It did taste a tiny bit stale, and not as many sultanas as I would have liked, but once I microwaved it and tossed in a handful of extra sultanas it was quite passable.

  • Delicious

    I regularly buy the original Great Start, which the whole family loves, and decided to get the Bran and Sultana for a change. The whole family enjoyed the Bran and Sultana but we prefer the original Great Start. The bran is delicious, but there's not enough sultanas for our liking.

    I have been buying these for awhile. Very nice and a great alternative to the more expensive brand names. They have recently changed the packaging though (and maybe shrunk the size)

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • simple, delicious, and customisable! i’m not a chorizo fan but i love the rest of the recipe so i can just substitute that with chicken or something else.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
