🍤 A little trip down memory lane!

Remember these? McCain & Griff’s Curried Prawns! 💙💛 A classic freezer favourite that might bring back a few memories of dinners past.

Food has a funny way of connecting us to different times in our lives. Sometimes it’s a familiar meal, a favourite snack or something you haven’t seen on the shelves in years!

Tell us… did you ever have this one for dinner? 👀👇

🚨 BEST BEFORE DOES NOT MEAN BAD AFTER! 🚨
That date on the packet isn’t necessarily the food’s way of saying, “Well, it’s all over for me now.” 😂
Best before is mainly about quality, not safety. After the date, food may still be perfectly fine to eat — it might just not be at its absolute best.
Think of it as:
👉 Best before: “I’m at my best!”
👉 After best before: “I’m still here… just maybe not quite as fabulous.” 😆
So before you throw something out because the date has passed… have a look, have a think, and don’t let a perfectly good packet end up in the bin! 🗑️🙅‍♀️

🧺✨ CLEANING HACK OF THE WEEK!
Got a smelly washing machine? Your clothes might not be the problem! 😂
Every now and then, run your washing machine empty on its hottest cycle with a cup of white vinegar.
It can help freshen up the machine and get rid of built-up smells and residue.
💡 Bonus tip: Leave the door or lid open between washes so the inside can dry out properly.
A cleaner washing machine = fresher laundry!

🍊 Recipe of the Week: Orange & Herb Chicken Tray Bake 🍗
Who said oranges are just for desserts? 🍊 This week we’re giving oranges their moment to shine in a savoury dish that’s fresh, flavourful and perfect for the whole family.
Orange & Herb Chicken Tray Bake
Ingredients:
🍗 Chicken thighs or drumsticks
🍊 2 oranges (juiced + sliced)
🧄 Garlic cloves, crushed
🌿 Fresh rosemary or thyme
🥔 Baby potatoes, halved
🥕 Carrots, capsicum or your favourite roast vegetables
🫒 Olive oil
🧂 Salt & pepper
Method:
Place chicken and vegetables into a baking tray.
Mix orange juice, garlic, herbs, olive oil, salt and pepper, then pour over the chicken.
Add orange slices around the tray for extra flavour.
Bake at 180°C until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
Serve with a fresh salad or steamed greens.
🍊 The natural sweetness and acidity of oranges help tenderise the chicken while adding a beautiful citrus flavour without making the dish sweet.
A little sunshine on a plate! ☀️
What’s your favourite way to use oranges — sweet or savoury? 🍊

Is it REALLY juice? 👀🥤
Mildura Zooper Dooper Cola Juice… because apparently Zooper Doopers have entered their juice era! 😂
Cola flavour, Zooper Dooper vibes and a name that has us asking some serious questions. 🤔
Whatever it is… we’re here for it! 😋

🥩 Did you know we get fresh meat at Food & Life?
We do our very best to have fresh meat available as often as we can! 🙌
What’s on offer can change from week to week, depending on what we receive, so you never quite know what you might find in the fridge. 🍗🥩
It’s another way Food & Life helps make the grocery shop go a little further — while giving our members the chance to pick up quality food at our low community prices.
So next time you’re shopping, don’t forget to check the fridge! 👀
