I saw Happy Sacks changed its name to SNACK TAXI and the Etsy shops were closed due to pregnancy. Fast times in the trash free lunch biz.

Michelle R-R: I think ordering online is the fastest choice–I have seen Happy Sacks in person in Boston…everything else I found online.

But I bet there are lunch bags for sale at the Providence Open market. Those people are crafty.

Is there anywhere to get any of these locally? I simply cannot get them fast enough you see.

Thanks for this Katy! We have completely eliminated plastic bags (of all kinds)at our house and the Wrap-n-Mat is one of our ways to do that! We’ve been using them for a couple of years, even Dad uses them for his sandwiches for work! I am so glad to see other options as well for foods that don’t go as well in the Wrap-n-Mat, like popcorn!

We use and love the Laptop Lunchboxes – http://www.laptoplunches.com/. To my amazement, my kids have not ever lost one of the little bento box-y containers! I have 2 kids that use them and I found that buying extra containers really helps in case I am not as fast on the dishwasher unloading as the morning rush requires.

What an attractive and informative article-even if you’re not shopping for a lunchbox! Where does that dear lad get his hair cut?

Katy – You are such a funny writer and this quote – “when you’re eating at a table that hasn’t been cleaned by someone who necessarily loves you” – sums up aspects of the whole kindergarten experience for me!
Just to add to the discussion of waste-free lunch solutions, we’ve been using our Laptop Lunch system (www.laptoplunches.com) for two years now and we LOVE it. It’s a bento-style insert that can fit into most lunchboxes. You can throw whatever you want into the little compartments, close the lid, and it’s all right there when your little one opens it…great for the challenge of the short lunch break. And it goes right in the dishwasher!

My daughter loves the set of napkins that comes with the Qwerty-O bag.

some of these bags are from etsy–the sellers featured here make lots of cool things and the lunch-specific items can be found within their etsy shops.
