I’m not in a situation where I need to pack lunches for all my kids every day, but I know that many of you are! Regardless of how many kids you have, planning for lunches is part of your grocery costs and part of the burden you bear for managing your household.
This week I’m resharing a short series on school lunches, this is #2 of 4. Check out the others in the series:

A Week of School Lunch Ideas
Today we’re going to focus on saving money on school lunches with some practical gear. Yes I know the brown bag and ziploc bags work, but some other items will be a much better (and possibly cheaper) option in the long run.
Best Lunchbox Products
The thing about packing your child’s lunch is that in order to really save money, it’s best to make an investment up front in products that you can use for years to come. Here are some lunchbox products with excellent ratings that will hold up over time:
L.L. Bean Lunchboxes
L.L. Bean lunchboxes are high quality and come in a variety of designs. The best part is they have a return policy where they will replace your lunchbox if it fails. I have a friend who bought a lunchbox when her son was going into kindergarten and had to replace it two different times over the course of his elementary school days, but each time L.L. Bean replaced it for free.
We definitely see deals on lots of brands, and this may be one area that you let your kids get a new design every year. I would highly recommend that you always go with the flat box type rather than bag designs. When it comes to fitting in containers and leftovers you’ll find it much easier!
