It is so hard to pack my kids lunches everyday! There are only so many things you can pack in a lunch, and only so many things my kids will actually eat in a lunch. I stopped buying sandwich bags a while ago, and with two kids now in school I don't have enough little plastic containers to pack both of their lunches. So, I went on a hunt in a hurry after school started to find something. I know there are other things out there, but this is what I found. (I'm an instant gratification person, if I go shopping for something, I want to come home with it that day!) This was 7.97 at Wal-Mart.
It has an ice pack, dividers, and a little container to put fruit dip or vegetable dip in - BONUS!!! You can go to Rubbermaid's website and purchase them straight from there for a little more money, they also have some other options to fit different size lunch boxes... SEE HERE.
Here is the top of Mallary's lunch:
Trevan's lunch today: Pineapple, carrots, and a cookie on the top part.
Below that is his sandwich cut in the shape of a puzzle. Underneath the napkin it is resting on are Doritos.
It fits inside his lunch box perfectly - with room to spare for a water bottle or even another container if needed!
My life just got a little easier!
Good deal! I saw those yesterday at Martins's, but they were about $9.99.
ReplyDeleteFor dips/ketchup, Wal-mart has tiny disposable cups and lids (like the kind at fast food restaurants). They are in the section with the plastic forks.
Also, I discovered that Wal-mart has 4 packs of cheapo stainless forks and spoons for less than $1. I think they were 88 cents. I started doing that, and now I don't have to buy the plastic ones. They are so cheap that it's no big deal if one gets lost.
What a good idea for the disposable cups with lids!!!!!!!! Can the girls not use the forks/spoons from school? I have my old stainless ones from college that T took for his lunch last year, and I think I forgot to pack one once and he told me he just got one from the table with napkins and forks for the lunch line...
ReplyDeleteI don't know!! Never thought of that!! I'll ask. I bet they would let them once in a while but not all the time.
