Multi Section Lunch Box - Where can I buy one?

I really want to start taking my lunch to work with me but I want a plastic food box with 3+ seperate sections like a Japanese bento box so I can take salads pickles etc. and not have them mix up together! Does anyone know where I can buy one? thank in advance! :D

    I don't know what a bento box is, but I know that you can get compartmentalised "Lock n' Lock" boxes. They may do one in a suitable size for you. My mum got one from Lakeland, although they are available in other high street shops, as are similar makes.

    edit: these are what I mean :D
  • I got a Bento Box from Poundland, it is a little childish with its mottos but does the job and holds just the right mount of food for me. Maybe you will get lucky and find another one there.

    The Lock and Save ones aren't completely watertight between the compartments although nothing escapes out of the main container. Ds1 proved this recently when he took leftover meringues and raspberries to school!!!!!

    I use the small ones to provide a HM version of "lunchables" with crackers in one space and little bits of cheese or ham in the other.

    Thanks for the suggestions.. I found the boxes on the Lakeland website that looked OK but it'd cost me over £10 to order one off there and have it delivered :o ..I think that's a little much for a lunchbox so I will keep my eye on poundland! :p THANKS!
