  1. LOL It’s OK. Such cute stuff! Do your kids ever just throw the lunch picks out? And I’m curious – if you could only have ONE lunchbox/Bento container, what would you choose and why? I’ve only started my journey with Bento, but the kids are enjoying my simple ones. (We’ll be doing them more often in the warmer months though.)

    1. Man oh man… that is a difficult question… I can only pick ONE! I guess it really depends on your situation. Hands down, the Easy Lunchboxes are a great value, sturdy, both adults and kids can use them, and great dividing sections.
      The Planetbox is pretty costly, but if you have a child who hates food touching, this one would be a must. The dividers are nicely organized for a section of fruit, veggies, grain, main dish, etc…
      The Lock & Locks are not too expensive, and are great for small lunches.
      So, it really depends on what YOUR situation is. I have 2 children, so instead of buying 2 boxes, I will buy one, see if it is a hit, and then get more. If you are just starting off, you can get a set of 4 Easy Lunchboxes for just under 14 bucks. So I would say that is a good place to start…most bang for your buck 🙂 I hope that helps!

    2. PS… Ludicrous Mama posted below about picks and muffin cups. My girls do not eat lunch at school yet (still in preschool) so I have not had that problem yet. Ludicrous Mama has some great tips 🙂

    3. Thanks for your reply! I was leaning towards Easy Lunchboxes, but I love the look of stainless for the Planetboxes. (If only the Planetboxes weren’t so expensive! LOL) I like that the Easy Lunchboxes have 4 colors since there are 4 of us. I color-coordinate! LOL

  2. Holy crap! You make me feel a little less CRAZY 🙂 I still have to get mine posted. I like how you organized your post.

  3. Awesome Corey! It’s amazing how addicting these cute little supplies are. I love your stash and your organization – looks great!

  4. To OSOTM: If you encourage your kids to bring EVERYTHING back (garbage, scraps, etc) then they won’t accidentally throw out picks or muffin cups, etc. plus you can then see how much they’re eating and WHAT they’re eating, so you stop bothering with hard boiled eggs, say, if they’re always coming home untouched. Plus leftovers can be eaten as after-school snack, or moved to the next day’s lunch (depending on perishability

    1. Thanks Ludicrous Mama…. since my girls are not eating at school yet, I have not had that problem…but always worried about it. So thanks for the great tips!

    2. thats exactly what my daughter does, who is in the first grade. She brings it all home and we go thru it. Gives us time to talk about what she liked and didnt. And then she eats whatever is left for a snack 🙂 Teach them early

    3. Thanks for your reply! I was curious as to how that works. We homeschool so I have a little more control over mealtimes…so far none of the muffin cups have been thrown away! LOL

  5. Ha ha:), funny, It is a blessing to have healthy habits, and healthy lunch Bento boxes is definitely a healthy addiction

    What!? No PlanetBoxes!?? But..but…they bring out the anal-retentive, perfectionist in me! My house may not be “Martha”, but my kid’s Planet Box is! 🙂
    Thanks for this post…I was one of the ones who asked how you store all this. I’m getting overwhelmed.
