Luka McCabe and Kate Holm
About this episode

With the return to school looming, that means the return of making lunchboxes. And if that isn't overwhelming enough, you also have to SHOP for the food! Thankfully Nabs from Supermarket Swap is here to help.

If you are yet to discover Supermarket Swap, it is an incredible app that was created by Nabula Brdar to simplify the shopping process to allow shoppers to easily search, shop, share and save on additive and preservative free food from Australia’s largest supermarkets. What started as her personal mission to help her son, has turned into an extensive database, with many additive and preservative free options from Australia’s largest supermarkets.

 

In this podcast we discuss

  • What to look for when making swaps at the supermarket
  • Brands that often have amazing options to swap to
  • How much Nabs spends on groceries to feed her family of 4 (and how she does it!)
  • How to pack a balanced lunchbox
  • How to ensure your child is nourished if their lunchbox comes home uneaten
  • and so much more...

 

We also mention this amazing hack from Mel Browne - how to save on your food bill by using AI!


Today’s episode was brought to you by Eco Cocoon. We absolutely love these lunchboxes - Kate has been using them for over a year and has now put Luka and many other friends onto them too! Not only are they planet friendly and a great bento box style, but they are also ACTUALLY leak proof - no more watermelon soaked crackers, or chia pudding leaking into your bag. They also sell a range of insulated lunch bags, stainless steel drink bottles and other accessories to make school lunches easy, nourishing and fun.
