Before you know it, the summer will be over, and we are all scrambling to find school supplies, labels, and the best food containers to pack lunch for kiddos to go to school. Will they eat what was packed remains to be seen, but here we go.
Summer lunches, school lunches, or year-round work lunches…how do you pack them? These are some options I am considering. A key factor in my decision to purchase these lunchboxes is to minimize waste. We need to be more mindful of the packaging we use.
