Frugal School Lunch Containers

Rubbermaid Lunchblox Bento






With 5 kids we are always looking for ways to cut back on waste and save money at the same time. Sometimes that is a tall order. With 5 lunches to pack I needed something durable and wanted something that was stylish. While Amber and I were shopping this weekend I picked up two of these Rubbermaid Lunchblox sets. There are 2 inner containers that fit into the larger outer container. They also have smaller containers that snap onto the top to fit into any lunchbox and keep things neat and together. I scored these on clearance at a local K-Mart that is closing. Walmart has a pack of 6 for $28.88 online.

I also use 4oz glass canning jars for yogurt, applesauce, and side salads for the kids. It keeps cost down and gives the kids the perfect portions. A win-win. Now I just need to find drink containers that are not plastic and don't cost a fortune. Wish me luck!
