Eco-Friendly Lunch Boxes Review + Giveaway {CLOSED}

As a stay-at-home mom + wife I do my best to pack Ben's lunch each evening for him to take to work the next day. Sometimes it's a hassle to rummage through our tupperware drawers to find matching pieces that will fit what I am fixing him to eat. When I'm in a rush I'd often just grab a sandwich bag. 

Recently, Ben informed me about the state of the refridgerator at work....

This is where he puts his lunch bag every day. I wish that I could include a smell with this post, because that's the biggest problem. Just one day of being in that fridge and his lunch containers would smell TERRIBLY! Even after febreze + airing it out it still smelled like mildew + cigarette smoke. UGH! I felt so bad for him and immediately decided that a plastic bag would never be good enough to keep out the nasty smells.

I discovered Easy Lunch Boxes and had to give it a try. Their plastic containers are large enough for a meal or sandwich and 2 sides. What's different than other similar containers we've used is that the lid covers each section indiviudally instead of being just one smooth surface to cover the top. 

The lunchbox itself is much larger than other bags. It can fit 2 of the plastic containers at once! This is perfect for my hungry man who always has to have 2 sandwiches for lunch. Although, I do sometimes wish I could get 2 sandwiches in each container. They are almost tall enough, but not quite!

I always look online for information about new things we get or even items we've had for a while if I need to troubleshoot something and most often I'm pretty disappointed. When I went to find out more about EasyLunchboxes I found the website to be extremely helpful. It has helpful tips for using the EasyLunchbox system and yummy lunch ideas! 

The containers are dishwasher safe and fit easily in the top rack. In order to avoid the scary fridge Ben throws a small icepack into the bag with his lunch and it keeps cold all morning. It even stays cold enough for him to store any leftovers he may have for the rest of the day until he gets home. 

The prices are great, check out their website to order!

So, great new product right? Here's your chance to win one!
