Cherries

Speaking of flavour bombs: the cherry season is picking up pace, and Boosey Fruit from Cobram is delivering delicious 2kg cherry boxes for $29.

Great on their own – but if you really want to jazz them up, dip them in this Tasmanian Salted Caramel Sauce. They are 20% off this week at $6.72 a bottle.

Zucchini and tomatoes

Now onto the veg. We have 2 because we couldn’t decide – between zucchini from Manuel Xerri: at $3 a kilo, they’re literally half price vs the supermarkets.

And Roma Tomatoes from Fresh Fellas: $4 a kilo – another half price Divvy Deal. Only at Box Divvy.

Thursday/Friday hub specials

Ok, these will be available to ALL hubs – but we’re not listing the products until Tuesday morning to make sure the Thursday and Friday Hubs don’t miss out (in case they sell faster than anticipated).

Fever-Tree restock: Light Indian Tonic, Mexican Lime Soda and Passionfruit Martini are back in time for Christmas

Mokata Cookies Selection 260g: $4.95 a pack. These continental European cookies typically sell for $7-8. Needless to say, once you start, you can’t put them down. It’s a one-off: once sold out, they won’t come back.

Goldcoast Tiger Prawns: $25/kg

Pyrmont Seafood will be supplying us with 3Kg boxes of semi-thawed large tiger prawns for $75 a box (or $25 a kilo).

Caught off the Gold Coast, they’re snap-frozen. We receive them frozen on Friday, but by the time they’re delivered on Saturday, they will be semi-thawed. You can safely re-freeze them, or portion them – leaving the thawed ones out to enjoy over the next couple of days, and put the frozen ones in the freezer for Christmas.

Remember, prawns usually go up in price as we approach Christmas. However, Pyrmont has agreed to lock in this price for the next 2 weeks.

New products this week: an avalanche!
- Naked Life Non-Alcoholic Mixers
- Beyond Coconut
- Shepherds Christmas Brownies
- One Rusty Jack additions

Two completely new ranges, and a lot of range extensions this week.

Naked Life Non-Alcoholic Mixers
A new range from Australian maker Naked Life is ready to launch and compliments our non-alcoholic wine and beer offering. Available in 4 flavours:
Gin & Tonic
Italian Spritz (think Negroni)
Mojito
Margarite
Available as a 4-pack of 250ml cans for $12.57 (they sell for $15 at Woolworths).

Beyond Coconut
Coconut water has turned out to be surprisingly popular, especially after the introduction of Raw C (which was always going to be a one-off with a short BBD).
We are now introducing Beyond Coconut: available as a pure coconut water in 1L bottle and 320ml can, as well as a chocolate flavoured version. The 1L bottle retails for $4.30 (compared with $5.50 for Raw C and other coconut drinks in the supermarkets)

Shepherds Christmas Brownies
Complementing the Fruit Mince Pies and GF Slices, Shepherd’s have produced this heavenly (and heavy) Christmas-themed Chocolate Brownie. At $22.87 for a 6-pack, they’re not cheap – but boy, are they worth it.

One Rusty Jack additions
Alas, the Butter Chicken is sold out, and we haven’t had an ETA from the supplier yet – but we’re now adding Bolognese and Massaman.

What? Stir-fry Iceberg Lettuce

Stir-Fried Iceberg Lettuce
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp rice wine or dry sherry
3⁄4 tsp sugar
1⁄2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 1⁄2 tbs peanut oil
4 onions, cut on the diagonal into 2cm
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1⁄2 medium head iceberg lettuce, cored, outermost leaves
discarded, inner leaves torn into wide pieces
salt, to taste
Garnish onions or shredded leek

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine or sherry, sugar, and pepper; set sauce aside.

Heat a frypan over high heat. Add peanut oil, half of the onion, and garlic and cook until garlic is golden, about 5 seconds. Add lettuce; cook, stirring occasionally, until lettuce softens slightly, about 1 minute. Drizzle in sauce and cook until lettuce is just coated with the sauce, about 1 minute. Season with salt, divide between 4 bowls, and garnish with remaining onion or shredded leek.

Why That Afternoon Snack Might Be Working Against You

We all know the drill: 3 pm hits, and suddenly that chocolate bar or bag of chips looks like a lifeline. Science calls it a “glucose dip.” Your blood sugar spikes, insulin crashes, and two hours later… you’re ravenous. Eat protein, fruit, or porridge instead, and your energy stays steadier, your stomach stays calmer, and your next meal doesn’t end in a binge.

It’s Not Just You. It’s Them.

Ultra-processed foods, so think Doritos, Snickers, packaged bread, soft drinks are engineered to trick your body, keep you craving more, and line corporate pockets. Half of what Australians eat falls into this category. It’s not your willpower; it’s the system. Laugh a little, snack smarter, and pick foods that nourish instead of hijack your appetite like Box Divvy Snacking tomatoes, sweet and a delight to eat.

Box Divvy Snacking Tomatoes vs. The Usual Suspects

Let’s compare: a bag of Doritos (170 gm) clocks in at 850 calories for $4.50. A Snickers bar (50 gm) hits 250 calories for $2.40. Meanwhile, Box Divvy snacking tomatoes (250 gm for a bunch) are just 45 calories for $2. You can eat five times the weight, feel full, and avoid a sugar crash. More bang for your buck, more volume for your belly, and a lot less guilt. Snack smart. Your stomach (and sanity) will thank you.

Australian Garlic Is Back And It’s Cured to Last

New season Australian garlic has arrived and bulbs which are cured and are full of punchy, aromatic flavour, with that crisp snap and juicy clove texture you only get at the start of the garlic season.

Each bulb is cured naturally, allowing it to dry slowly so the skins tighten, the flavour deepens, and the garlic stores beautifully right through to Easter. It’s local, seasonal, and grown with the kind of care that makes supermarket imports look… well, a bit sad.

The best part? New season garlic shines in absolutely every cooking method: roasted, sliced, smashed, or sautéed.

But if you want to really let it show off, try this quick recipe:

Garlic & Lemon Roast Chicken (Easy & Amazing)
1 whole chicken (or use pieces)
1 whole Australian garlic bulb, cloves separated (no need to peel)
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Olive oil, salt, pepper, herbs (thyme or rosemary)

Method:
Preheat oven to 200°C. Place chicken in a roasting dish, drizzle generously with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Scatter the garlic cloves and lemon wedges around the chicken, add herbs, and roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes, depending on size. The garlic becomes soft, sweet, and spreadable perfect smeared onto the chicken or crusty bread. Squeeze pod out if skin left. Pure Australian garlic goodness.

Iceberg lettuce

Manuel Xerri in Agnes Banks may not be a Leonardo DiCaprio, but he has enough Icebergs to sink several Titanics. They’re just $1.89 a head, so help him out and get 2. And then make some San Choy Bow for the whole neighbourhood.
