54 – Packing a healthy lunchbox and navigating the supermarket with Nabula from Supermarket Swap

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!
