Box Divvy Asquith - Sherbrook

02/05/2026

CIf your weekly shop has gone from “just grabbing a few things” to “how did that cost $137?”, you’re not imagining it. Rising costs, shrinkflation, and confusing “specials” have made supermarket shopping harder to navigate - and more expensive.

More Australians are adapting by switching to cheaper staples, bulk buying, and closely comparing prices. But there’s another option: stepping outside the traditional supermarket model altogether.

Box Divvy works differently - shortening the supply chain, reducing markups, and offering transparent pricing that reflects what growers are actually paid. The result? Fresh produce that’s often more affordable, without the usual pricing tricks.

In a time when food costs are rising across the board, clarity and consistency matter - and knowing what you’re paying (and why) can make all the difference.

Parker's Pretzels

So, kids are back to school, and you’re asking yourself a life-and-death question: what am I putting in their lunch box today?? What about these Parker’s Pretzels in 25g portions? They’re come in a multipack of 8, and they’re $2.50 each. That works out to a little over 30c a portion. The Best Before Date is 8 March, but we think they’ll be long gone by then. Baked, not fried – they’re low in saturated fat. Oh, and they’re in the chains for $6.

Recipe - Lychee cupcakes

1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup freshly diced lychee

Preheat the oven to 180C and prepare muffin tin.

Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a big bowl and mix well. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until you reach a soft peak. It should have tripled in volume at this point. In a different bowl, cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the yolks one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Add vanilla and beat until incorporated. The flour should be added in 3 additions, alternating with the milk. Beat on low until everything is combined. Fold in the diced lychee. The last step is to fold in the egg whites. Be gentle as you don’t want to lose all those air pockets. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 2 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Topping you can make a coconut icing or almond flavoured. Simply in a bowl put about a cup of melted butter, with icing sugar to taste and either a few drops of your favourite essence or coconut. Another great topping is whipping cream and adding flavour to that.
