Picture this – you’re bracing yourself for the rush and panic to get everyone out the door for school.
It’s a scramble for everyone to get out of bed, have breakfast, dress in their uniforms, and have the right permission notes or homework depending on the day.
On top of that is having lunches packed. But when you get to the cupboard and fridge, you don’t have everything you need.
A brown banana and only the crusts left for your loaf of bread at 7am? Not the scenario I would wish on anyone.
But you don’t have time to head to the shops before drop-off, and the school bell is going to ring in a couple of hours.
With 90 per cent of Australian students bringing packed lunches to school each day, it’s easy to feel the pressure of making sure big and little lunches are covered… with some extra snacks thrown in there for good measure.
With cost-of-living pressures impacting families across the country, it can be hard to stretch weekly shops.
While you can’t buy time, but there is one hack that can help you get the staples in a flash, and save you from dragging the kids hurriedly to the supermarket with one shoe on, or even in their pyjamas.
Thankfully, Coles is on Uber Eats.
So no more scrambling and rushing through the shop aisles while making sure you also grab your child’s favourite snack. That, and cutting out the stress of making sure everything’s in budget.
Stay in your pyjamas, or even fit in a quiet cup of tea before all of the chaos begins by getting fruit for morning or afternoon tea, crackers, muesli bars, yoghurt pouches and bread delivered to your door.
With Officeworks already on the delivery platform, you can tick off last-minute food and stationary purchases in one go.
With winter right around the corner, it’s also the perfect secret weapon to have on hand when your child is battling a cold, and you can’t leave the house.
Even if nobody is under the weather at the moment, it could be a matter of time, so use it to create the ultimate kit.
