My husband recently retired from the Air Force after twenty years. He’s the lab manager at a local hospital now.
Suddenly, he wants to carry lunches to work and he needs all sorts of lunch containers.
My daughter also started a part time job and carries lunches to work.
It helps to have access to a break room with all the typical break room amenities.
Taking meals to work saves time and money while being healthier, since we know the ingredients rather than getting greasy fast food.
For lunch, we often have dinner leftovers or purchase organic healthy quick meals.
We like to use fun colorful containers to keep foods separate for field trips and road trips too.
I love containers with little compartments to keep everything fresh and separate. Bonus if they stack in our cooler or lunch bag to make it easy to carry.

Easy Lunch Storage
Bentgo® Glass Stackable Salad
These are great to keep salad items fresh! I love that it’s glass and doesn’t hold onto stains, scents, or flavors. It also comes in plastic if you prefer. Bentgo has lots of fun travel options for the whole family!
OXO Good Grips Lunch and Salad Set
Sistema To Go
My kids upgraded to these bento boxes last summer for art camp. They love the compartments for all their little snacks and different things to eat. There are lots of configurations.
Bentgo® Kids Children’s Lunch Box
Yumbox
Super cute bento for younger kids.
Sandwich boxes
We like our sandwiches to stay fresh and fluffy instead of crushed in a baggie at the bottom of the lunch sack.
EasyLunchboxes®
We have used these for years and years – for co-op, picnics, field trips, day trips. They’re so easy and convenient and color coded! They’ve held up so well for us.
Thermos
Great for drinks or soups and stews.
Snapware
We use this for all our leftovers. I love how stackable they are in my fridge. We can take them from the refrigerator to the oven or microwave to the dishwasher. They’re portable and easy!
