We have been going through an INSANE amount of Ziploc bags lately... as in 10 sandwich bags a day for just packing lunches. RIDICULOUS!! Not only is it expensive, but it's detrimental to the planet. So I searched for a divided container that I could pack their food in, but not worry about the fruits leaking or the flavors mixing.. soggy sandwiches would not go over well with my kiddos. After going through tons of containers, I found the perfect one. Not only is it small enough that it fits my daughters' lunch bags (and leaves room for juice and yogurt) but all of the sections are perfectly divided for all of their food. Introducing: The Rubbermaid Salad Blox!!! I think the term "Blox" is insanely cute too.
Yes, yes.. I know it says it's for salad.. but it's SO perfect for lunch. I can fit a sandwich and snack/treat in the bottom, and then fruits, vegetables, and dip are divided up beautifully in the top portion. AND it comes with it's own blue freezer pack that snaps directly onto the bottom. I still put the freezer pack (the one that's for $1 at Walmart) that I had bought previously in the bottom of their lunch bags, so their lunches stay extra cold. I no longer worry about food becoming room temperature throughout the day. I also don't have to worry about them smashing their food. We've been using this for about a week now and I am simply in love. It's easy to use (and clean), keeps my daughters happy, saves us money, and keeps us from damaging Earth. Rubbermaid also has sooo many other Blox to choose from:
and they even sell some of their containers separately. Goodbye Ziploc... and hellooooo Blox!!!
2022 Update: We are still using the Blox! They have held up SO well and we are still as in love with them as we were in 2019!
