When Your Run Out Of Lunch Bags

So, there I was at 6:30 in the morning, making and packing 3 of my sons' lunches, when I realized that I was out of paper lunch sacks. I went into my pantry and searched from high to low. I was sure that I had another package somewhere, but no, there were none anywhere.

I had to weigh my options. I could send the lunches in a ziplock. I could find a grocery bag. Then I saw the Gladware containers. Aha! What a perfect lunch box. I sent the lunches in those and asked the boys to bring them home to reuse.

For the last week, we have been using those clever little containers for lunches. I now don't have to buy paper sacks (so I am saving trees) and I didn't have to buy an expensive lunch box. The boys don't have a problem carrying the boxes into the lunch room and interestingly enough, when I went into the classroom of The Comedian on Monday, I saw a couple of other kids using them, too.

There you go, Gladware containers for lunchboxes work for me.

This is a great idea. I would love to be able to do it, but my oldest, middle school, would DIE, JUST DIE MOM, to have to carry one.
