lunchblox

I can eat the same thing every day for lunch

week in

week out.

Once in awhile I'll run out of supplies

and I'll treat myself to a burrito

or a tuna sub from Subway.

(I know. Outrageous.)

But I realized something.

Eating a ham or turkey sandwich every day for lunch

isn't the most nutritious way of nourishing oneself.

So I decided to take salad for lunch instead.

I know I don't eat enough vegetables

so I decided it was time to change that.

But here's the thing

I like complex salads.

Salads with toppings.

And salads with toppings are a pain in the ass to pack.

But then I found this:

This is the salad lunchblox from Rubbermaid.

Rubbermaid gets me.

It's a large-ish box where you put the lettuce

and then there are 3 compartments in the top for your - bingo!- toppings!

There is also a little container for salad dressing.

I saw it online somewhere

so started looking for it but couldn't find anywhere in Canada that sold it.

Rubbermaid? How can we not have it here?

But on Saturday, I took a few moments to flip through the flyers

and success! 

Home Hardware came through

and it was on sale! 

$9.97.

I used it for the first time on Monday and I have to say,

that salad was the business.

Toppings remained separated and fresh as could be.

Money well spent.

(They also make a sandwich version if sandwiches are more to your fancy.

 I suspect the containers for accompanying snacks. Mmmm. Snacks.)
