Lunchbox with compartments?

Kevie192

Hi all,

On an economy drive due to movin house on 1st of June but I am already bored with the same old lunch!

I've come across the Laptop Lunch boxes and I love the idea but I can't seem to find anywhere in the uk I can buy them now!

I've spent a few hours looking around the Internet for other bento boxes and lunch boxes but it looks like everything is either only 2 or 3 small compartments (none big enough for a sandwich like the laptop ones) or the containers aren't watertight which is no good if I want to take yogurt etc.

So... Does anyone know where I can get something that would be suitable but without the problems above?

I know I could just buy different sized boxes and take them in a bigger box but I'd prefer to get something designed for the purpose!

Thanks,

Kevin

I'd love this too and never seen it - a gap in the UK market I think

I think it probably would end up beaing cheaper to use the different sized tubs and popped into one bigger one especially if you use the £1 shops or Asda do some small tubs that are 25p or something ridiculously cheap.

Maybe try ebay, a quick look there are various styles, double tiers etc for about half the price of the one I seen when I googled laptop lunch box. Haven't seen them anywhere. Sorry not much help I know!

Amazon have them.

Amazon don't have them in... Dispatch in 2 to 3 weeks! I'd never order anything that says it will take that long as I may never get it...!

I saw a compartment lunchbox in Wilkos last week. It was a good size with 5+ compartments. Sorry, I didn't look closely enough to see if it would fit a good sized sandwich, or have a place for non-leaky yogurt but it might be worth checking out . HTH

I use a small cool bag ( the type that holds six cans of drink) - cost me £2. I bought a couple of lunch boxes that are rectangular and fit snugly in the bottom of the bag, I've also got a couple of small tubs that are big enough for salad dressings, fruit such as grapes etc. and they sit on top the big box. Youghurts stand on top of the tubs and as they stay upright they don't leak. It easily holds everything I eat during the day and I eat lots!!

asda have just got a range of new compartmentalised lunch boxes - 3 or so styles, def one of which had a section big enough for a sarnie - all also have cool packs to fit

Hi I bought these for my girls

for one it would work out about £20 with shipping - as they are from the states. They are brilliant, you can wash them in dishwasher, completely air tight, come with a drink bottle and over 200 stickers to decorate them.

I use a Sistema lunchbox, purchased from Wilkinson. They have four separate compartments, and come with a small bottle (which I take out/don't use so as to utilise the additional compartment). Easily fits in a large salad, or couple of sandwiches, and plenty of space for extras. It seems to hold sloppy foods ok, and hasn't leaked as yet! Was quite reasonably priced...think it ws about six quid:o. HTH.

I have to say I got the wilko one as well but hate it. The compartments are too small. I got it for my dd1 for school, but you can only put 'flat things' in it iYKWIM. Sandwich is ok, but even a petit filous yoghurt or a mini corner one won't fit, or fruit bigger than a few grapes or satsuma.
This is the one I got http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/flasks+food-storage/sistema-slimline-quaddie-lunchbox-with-bottle-assorted-15ltr/invt/0285244/?htxt=On%2F6itta4LuAxHNXMxsPZFFFFsIhwz0wjwrCJXgC6JttLkBeCyiTf6R5IDq%2BbDYApxWpTrJV9%2BmE%0A5jxexKVBAw%3D%3D
