  • Price is exceptional!

    Quality is awesome, great snack for either at school, at work or even when out and about. Great for when your child is a little hungry and you want some goodness with their diet. My daughter loves it for school, even share with her classmates as they like it too. Definitely recommend and have already done so and bought many times. Price is exceptional!

  • Even better than the expensive brand..

    At first we were always buying BRAND name items. But due to budget, we decided to start trying less expensive products! These were one of those less expensive products. The children love them for their every now and again snack, and the taste is very much the same as the expensive brand of the same kind of bar! I have recommended these to everyone we know with children..

  • Still Buying It!

    Still buying it, my girls love to put in their lunch box for school. The flavours they enjoy, constantly asking for more, one a day is plenty though. My husband even like them for his "lunch box" for work, except he likes 2 in his, so we go through a lot. It's good that the price is reasonable and not as expensive as others.

    My kids love these and they are not as sweet as the other brands that we have tried. They are a lot cheaper to so definitely value for money. When I get the chance these are the one the kids prefer so that pretty much says it all.

  • cheaper than other brands.

    I'm always looking for something sweet . I love the Woolworths select vanilla rice bars.

    They are great for school lunches.

    My daughter loves them.

    I even keep sine in my bag to snack on while I'm working.

    Great price I got them on special from Woolworths for $2.99 .

    Cheaper than other brands still has a great taste.:)

  • Kids love these bars.

    Kids love them but high in sugar. I tried them and found them very sweet. ..

    Kids as I said really love them. They are a sometimes snack. .. I did have my grand daughter over and she was a bit flat I gave her a bar and she perked up .. We took her to dr she was fine .. So if kids are a little flat these are perfect .. But I would not give them daily

  • Kids love 'em!

    My kids really love Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars when they spot them in the pantry.

    For myself, I don't really like them. I find them overly sweet and very sticky. Sometimes I think they taste almost plasticky.

    The pricing is more than reasonable. They are a lot cheaper than other brands out there.

    So while I don't enjoy Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars, my girls really adore them and love it when I buy them.

  • Great taste and value for money

    I purchased the Woolworths rice bars in vanilla with choc chips for my kids to snack on and I loved them. What were supposed to be my kids lunch box snacks became my indulgence. They taste just as good as the big branded products but at a much cheaper price. They come in a few different variety of flavours which I look forward to trying out soon.

  • Kids like, I don't

    I really don't enjoy the taste or the quality of Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars. For me, they taste to manufactured, not at all nice.

    However, on the odd times my kids get Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars, they absolutely love them!

    I don't rate Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars very highly but, my kids do!

  • Okay if you've never tasted the leading brand version!

    I'm a firm believer in giving any cheaper alternative (home brand version) of leading products, and have found some lovely replacements to my more expensive/popular groceries by giving them a try. Unfortunately, these won't be a permanent item in my pantry. They just don't come close to the main brand one, just not as tasty overall which is the main factor with a treat such as these! Not too bad, but not terribly good either.

  • Not for me - kids love them!

    Again, I picked up a packet of Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars on a reduced sale (I wonder if they're deleting the line?). Personally, I really don't like these bars, I find overly sweet, plasticity and sticky. In saying that however, my kids love them! I really don't understand why. Oh well, it's a very occasional treat, and not everyday.

  • Awful

    These woollies vanilla rice bars are gross! One bite out of it and I hated it, bland and had the most awful smell to them. The price is ridiculous I would much prefer to buy LCMs when they are on special for 6pk for $2. Quality is awful, the taste was discusting, they were very over priced. I would not recommend these and I won't be buying them again ever! Not a winner in this household at all!

  • Sticky snacks

    I bought it from Woolworth last week where there was some discount in it.. It is good but it sticks in the mouth and it is sweet as well, but the choc dip was a great mix with it, my child liked it but i don't think she can have it daily, its bit more sweet than normal oats or nutty bars, but you can enjoy it once a week or when you go out for picnic, i would recommend it as a snack which you can eat occasionally.

  • Not a regular pantry item

    I bought a packet of the Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars with milk chocolate drops today because they were reduced sale. Once again, my girls were overjoyed to have them but I found them to sickly sweet. Not my favourite snack food but every once in a while is okay I think. Certainly wouldn't stock them in the pantry on a regular basis.

  • icky

    I bought these a while ago when I was on a small budget, they didn't taste nice at all compared to lcm bars. The taste was off, the texture was off and I just didn't like them at all. I think due to quality they should be cheaper. We didn't even eat them all, my kids were sent some as a treat with their school lunch and then they wouldn't eat them after trying one bite. My eldest had one put back in her lunchbox for a week before I just threw them out, waste of money and I don't even know why still on shelf, couldn't imagine many people would purchase them. Both myself and children would rather eat a piece of fruit then these and for my kids that's saying something.

  • just like lcms....only stickier

    so while we all do like this product, they are sweet and super sticky. you will find the rice bubbles from this, stuck to things. trust me, i'm so careful about cleaning up after my children eat, but the rice bubbles will stick to their clothes, hair and chairs, end up on the floor and stick to your feet!

    these are worth buying. just beware that this is not a great idea to eat in the car or in public without wipes

  • Very sweet

    Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars were purchased when they were on special as I find them very expensive for what they are. Its similar to LCM's but sweeter and stickier. The kids enjoyed them but I wouldn't be giving one to them everyday due to the amount of sugar that is in these bars. They are fine for an occasional treat.

  • An occasional treat!

    Woolworths select rice bars are ok but, they are something I wouldn't buy all the time. The kids love them however, and get very excited when they see the rice bars in the pantry. In our house, the bars are considered to be an occasional food and not an everyday treat.

  • A treat not an everyday snack

    A treat not an everyday snack. My son loved these and asked for them a lot for morning and afternoon teas but I had to be strict for him not to have them whenever he asked for them. They are very, very sweet…he liked that they were sticky and liked making a mess while eating a bar.

  • Not an everyday snack.

    The vanilla rice bars I bought had added choc chips to the top. I bought them as a special treat for my kids. The kids loved them but, I thought they tasted a bit plasticky and very sweet. This is not an every day snack for the lunchbox but rather something to have on the odd occasion.

  • Too unhealthy

    Like the similar versions in other brands, I don't like this as a snack for kids, as it has very little nutritious value, and loads of sugar. It's not something that fills kids up or gives them sustained energy.

    Personally I don't think they taste too good either, although the kids think they are good (no doubt due to how sweet they are).

  • 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.

  • 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!

    Reply

  • 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

    Reply

  • 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.
