I’m so glad to hear that the Planetbox will work out for you. Usually I don’t review products that I haven’t tried myself. But since I don’t have kids, I didn’t see a reason for her to ship it to my house just so I could ship it to someone else. So I’m glad to hear it arrived as it should and will work out.

Thanks to your recommendation, I ordered a Planetbox for my 4-year-old. I requested on the webform that they not use extra plastic to package it. I got my wish! The item came plain (in its carrying case) in the priority mail cardboard box. My son hasn’t used it yet, but it looks like it will be a great product for us.

I am looking for stainless steel canisters with stainless steel lids. Does anyone know where these would available online or a store?

My 10yo son sometimes reads stuff over my shoulder–and since he saw your pictures of the Graze bags, he started making me check your blog every hour (which seems a bit obsessive even for your lovely blog) to see if we won. Then when he saw the Planet box, he got even more excited. Since my son is homeschooled, the food carriers would mostly be for “Papa” to take to work–but since son has been so excited about them, I may have to order one of them for a Hanukkah present for him!

I’ve been feeling guilty about buying bulk (which I do) because I basically use plastic containers to store and carry the food. Because of this I’ve been saving up glass jars in order to keep the food in the fridge, but haven’t solved the transportation problem, but I do think that maybe making my own cloth bags as suggested here will help.

The lunchbox looks cool, but unfortunately for work I have to go with a pyrex contain with what I believe is a silicone lid since I tend to take leftovers to reheat.

Making cloth bags to carry my fruit and veggies to work is now at the top of my list though!

I think the most important part of shopping in bulk for me is having a place to put it. I invested in some STRONG shelves, since bulk food can be heavy, and I store it all in glass half-gallon jars. What a disaster it would be if all my precious food came crashing down and got mixed up with broken glass!

I save my glass juice bottles and put my bulk items in them. Each is labelled with a similar label, so they look really nice in the pantry. Whenever one gets low, I simply make a note of it, and get more @ our bulk section next time I'm at the grocery. As my glass bottle collection increases, so does the amount of bulk items I can buy. .-= Alyssum Pohl´s last blog ..Anti-chemical cleaner commercial. =-.

I have gotten in the habit of purchasing bulk at the local foods market using the same bags each time. I really like the idea of using mason jars though – and I have so many of them!
