Packed Lunches

[LCinKC]

SpartyGuard, your lunches look amazing! I'm going to have to get me some of those lunch containers (much nicer than my old-as-dirt Tupperware)!

I am looking into a Mr. Bento for hubby as he wants different stuff for lunch but no access to a microwave or fridge (he works construction and the weather is what he gets...).

Where is a cheap place to get this? I looked on amazon and it seemed pricey to me? or is that the price i am to expect?

Normally my dh gets leftovers from a prior dinner - we're not big sandwich people, so if it's just leftover meat, I'll cut it up for him on a salad.

Some variety of veggie & fruit combo, depending on what's in the house - carrot sticks, green pepper slices, celery sticks, an apple, an orange, grapes, homemade applesauce.

Sometimes cheese & crackers.

Was doing granola bars but the storebought ones seem to have simultaneously shrunk & gone up in price. Found a tasty homemade chewy granola bar recipe (no corn syrup!) that I made & that worked well, but just haven't sat down and mixed it all up since ds was born almost 7 weeks ago, so we're currently "out of stock" as it were...

No special recipe but for packed lunches in our house, whoever is doing the packing uses my cookie cutters to make the sandwich into a special message. Many times my husband has gone to work with Monty Python quotes haha!!!
