  • Good value

    Not only is this cereal good value for money when compared to what else is out there on the market, it doesn't taste like cardboard. The whole family loved this and it was lucky to last a week in our house. We stock up on this everytime it's on special.

  • 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)
