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® Stackable Salad
These are great to keep salad items fresh! Bentgo has lots of fun travel options for the whole family!
OXO Good Grips Lunch and Salad Set
Perfect system to keep salad items fresh and crunchy.
Sistema
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®
Super cute and sturdy bento boxes in different colors.
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!
Reusable Food Storage Bags
Better than single use plastic!
Cute Ice Packs
Why not have something better than plain to keep things cool?
ECOLunchboxes
See my review here.
Wildkin lunch boxes
Great insulated lunch bags with lots of room and fun prints for all ages.
MAZFORCE Original Lunch Box
Extra tough and modern lunch bag for all ages.
Bamboo Travel Utensils
Easy and safe eating utensils for all ages. Reusable!
Portable Flatware Set with Case
A great set with options for older kids and adults. I love the little case. Dishwasher safe!

School has been offering free lunches so I have not packed the boys lunches for a while but I do love bento boxes for the 3 youngest. The oldest needs a lot more food than would fit in it.

As a teacher I would remind parents if they can’t open it at home they can’t open it at school.
With thanks from a first-grade teacher!

This look so practical!
I’ve looked at these in the past. I just wondered about the tiny compartments. I guess we just eat a lot!
We use a lot of thermoses for hot foods, and plenty of ziplock baggies for sandwiches. Would like to change that one day. I guess all of my crew have always just eaten a lot, so we use a small cooler for the lunches. But I think the little ice packs are cute!

Jennifer, I love these containers! Keeping items separate allows you to put more options in them. Thank you for sharing this on Traffic Jam Weekend. It is my fave feature pick for this week’s link party that goes live on Thursday at 5:00 pm CST!
These would be great for portion control and diets. Thanks for sharing all the options. #HomeMattersParty
