Packing lunches might seem like a hassle sometimes, but in the end it is worth it. It’s the healthier option and it is the cheaper option. (If you eat out every day, spending about $7 a day, you can save around $700 a year, by packing your lunch just TWO times per week!) I am smart and frugal, I am a lunch packer.
When packing lunches in our house we use both Ziploc plastic containers and Ziploc bags. We love the containers for left overs; soups and anything that might squish in our lunch totes! We use the baggies for everything else; crackers, carrots, sandwiches. Our plastic container drawer is packed with Ziploc containers big and small. We love the Smart Snap Seal and Twist ‘n Loc containers for saving food for another day! As for saving food for another week or even months, we trust Ziploc to securely seal and store our food in the freezer. Ziploc’s double zipper freezer bag can lock out freezer burn and they are durable enough for a bag full of fruit, vegetables, meat… all types of leftovers! I am thinking pounds and pounds of various Thanksgiving leftovers?!?
