Easy lunch boxes

I am always on the search for the perfect storage solution.  I love purses, bags and containers.  I am a frequent visitor of The Container Store and IKEA.  I reorganize our cabinets and house often (to my husbands dismay!).

I was recently introduced to these cool lunch boxes by a friend.  I like the size and simplicity.  They have 3 compartments which is perfect for a sandwich, fruit/veggie and a cracker.  It has helped to eliminate the massive amount of plastic containers and snack bags I was washing on a daily basis, and has eliminated my need for plastic baggies.  The containers are plastic--but, they are BPA free.  Best of all is the price.  For 4 containers and4 different colored lids--they cost less than $15.  They also fit inside of a Crocodile Creek lunch box with some room to spare.

The lids aren't super tight, so packing wet food or fruit wouldn't be a good idea, but it makes it easy for the kids to open the lids up.  If you kiddo's are prone to dumping or spilling their food out--these would not be a good fit.  And if you child eats in the stroller or on the go I wouldn't suggest them either.

There are a ton of websites now on Bento Box styled lunches and ideas, I stick to the basic sandwich with fruit theme.
