The
Klip It Lunch Cube is a steal at only $5. I found mine at the
Container Store this weekend. I love that it comes in a variety of colors. I bought 3. I have each one packed and ready to go for the morning. All I have to do is make the sandwiches.
Now, on to the positives to this cute little cube:
It is plastic which I am not thrilled with, but at least the plastic is BPA free.
This container is also safe to be placed in the freezer, dishwasher (top rack) and microwave.
Don't forget the variety of colors helps to make sure each member of the family picks up the right lunch every day.
The
Slimline Quaddie Lunch Box is also a great deal at only $10. This item was also found at the
Container Store. It is a bit bigger than the Lunch Cube, so this time I only bought one. I really wanted pink, but settled for lime green encase any of the boys needed a larger lunch one day.
Here are the pros to this bigger lunch box:
BPA free
microwave and dishwasher safe
holds more food (obviously)
has a small water bottle and storage spot
water bottle can be removed to allow for more food storage
each compartment has an individual lid
the bottom section is very large (It could hold a ton of salad.).
I think this would definitely be the better of the two choices if your kids are older. I debated on getting T Man the larger one just because it seems he is always hungry lately.
Laptop Lunches: We have this fantastic lunch box and it is wonderful. I love the little containers to separate all T Man's little goodies. I like that one of the containers has a lid. If I was to purchase it again, I would get the newer version that has one large and 2 small containers instead though. It is hard to put a sandwich in the medium size compartment... $25 for the Bento 2.0
* I found a Bento 2.0 on sale for $19 here.
Shop Green Life: Has two different lunch box systems for $30 a piece... the Go Green Lunch Box System is much like a Laptop Lunch Box except it does not have individual containers... the "laptop" has the containers built in
Yubo: what a fun way to pack a lunch...$30 for the entire lunch box system (lunchbox and containers)
*I love that you can change the face plate on the lunchbox as often as you would like. You can also personalize the lunchbox as well as have a family photo as the face plate. fun... fun... fun!
Goodbyn: this all in one system seems perfect... pack an entire lunch without any additional containers to wash... comes with an 8.5 ounce drink container...$30
*Love that they have a containers for younger children to decorate as silly monsters, crazy characters, etc. AND they have a container without the stickers and ears for those older kids that are just too cool for the fun.
Eco Lunch Boxes: these have got to be some of the cutest lunch sacks yet... little girls would love these... $50 gets the entire system... $35 gets just the sack and 3 matching napkins/placemats
Planet Box: stainless steel lunch tray with magnetic interchangeable designs... $15 for tray... $50 for tray and 2 food containers... $60 for a lunch bag, tray, and 2 food containers
*I like that you can change the magnetic design. For $4, you can purchase an additional set of designs and use the same lunch box for both a boy and a girl.
Easy Lunch Boxes: for under $15 you get 4 eco friendly plastic lunch containers... one large compartment and two smaller ones... for an additional $8 you can purchase a lunch bag
*The price is right on this lunch box system. With 4 containers, you can have one in the wash and pack one of the leftovers or you can feed multiple kids. The different colored lids makes differentiating between lunches a breeze.
Lunch Sense: big enough to hold a six pack of canned drinks...medium size lunch box...$40... contains: (1) 19 ounce food container, (2) 6 ounce containers, a 1 ounce container (great for dips), an 8 ounce drink bottle, an ice pack, and the carrying bag
*I love that the carrying bag actually unfolds to make the perfect place mat. No more worrying about where your child will lay down the cheese stick while taking a drink.
Go Green in Stages: buy the pieces separately or as an entire lunch system... compac or full size...$60 for a compac square container lunch system
*Love the square stainless steel containers and the addition of a hot thermos.
Kids Konserve: Buy the entire lunch ensemble in one place... lunch bag, napkin, water bottle, containers, baggies, etc... $45
*Love that this is easy to open and close for the kidlets and it comes as a complete set.
Lunch Bots: stainless steel containers from $13- $17
Litter Free Lunch: purchase stainless steel lunch bot containers, stainless steel water bottles, and more
*I love the napkins, but not the price. You can get 12 white cloth napkins at Target for $10... a much better deal.
One Small Step: tons of reusable lunchware from various companies... sets made up of some of the best products on the market sold together to give you a entire waste free lunch experience
Reusable Bags: has tons of different manufacturers in one location
*One lunchbox system I found that was not previously listed and is reasonably priced happens to be the Light My Fire Meal Kit...$20
Klean Kanteen: stainless steel drink containers
Bento Lunch Boxes sold by amazon
Lunchville: different systems to choose from
*I loved that they had some eco-friendly choices for mom. There are several really cool purse-like bags to choose from. I think I will be adding one of these to my wish list.
