Woolworths Select Vanilla flavoured Rice Bars make a great snack and are always a hit with the kids.
Whether it’s lunchtime, after school or just a treat on the go, Select Rice Bars include the goodness of puffed white rice and help provide kids with the energy they need to fuel their active bodies.
Select Rice Bars contain no artificial colours or flavours and are low in saturated fat.
Available at Woolworths in Vanilla, Vanilla with Choc Chip and Chocolate with Choc Chip. RRP $3.29 for 6 bars.
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!
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..
i packed these for the kids in their lunchboxes, they came home saying they loved them, thank you woolies for coming up with these, they are more reasonable to buy than others, they taste great, handy size, good packaging, good quality, i will make sure i purchase these for the kids again
Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars are as good as the Brand name bars in taste and size.Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars are value for money and the kids love them.I use Woolworths Vanilla Rice Bars as a sanck in there lunchboxes with a piece of fruit .I would reccomend Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars as part of a balance diet that includes fresh fruit and vegetables
these bars are so tasty i love the vanilla rice bars and the kids like the chocolate ones but when they run out of the choc ones i notice they eat the vanilla one that they dont like they dont last long enough to put them in the lunch boxes
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.
I like the woolworths rice bars compared to LCMs. I find these one has more flavour to them. Really great taste. And they're too expensive at all. My daughters loves to snack on these now and then aswell. I quite to enjoy one after dinner sometimes. Will be buying them again
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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. 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.
these are yummy but very sweet and pretty sticky and i have tried the other flavours which are really nice as well. my kids love these as a treat and they are just as good as the legit brand. i think they could be cheaper but are a nice price when they are on special. i recommend these for a nice treat
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.
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).

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.
With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.
“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.
She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.
Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.
“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.
So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.
“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.
But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.
The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.
“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”
She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.
“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”
It’s The Little Things That Add Up
For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.
“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.
But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.
“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.
Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.
“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”
But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.
And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.
With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.
That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.
But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.
And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”
The Only Mop You’ll Need
Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.
“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”
After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.
“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”
For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.
“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”
Her final verdict?
“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.
This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.
Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!
Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.
This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.

Kids love 'em!
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.
