The school year is almost here for Dave (I know there are many schools who have already started) and one thing Dave and I don’t exactly love doing is packing lunches every single day.
However, this year, I’m a little more excited to pack lunches because (thanks to a fun giveaway I did last spring) we have an assortment of reusable AgainBags that we’ll be using in place of hundreds of plastic storage bags.
If you’d like to cut back on your consumption of plastic sandwich and snack bags {and have something FUN for packing lunches this year}, I have the perfect product for you!
AgainBags.com is a company that specializes in hand-made, reusable lunch and snack bags that are lead-free, phthalate-free, BPA-free, AND they come in fabulous colors and patterns…
They also have a brand new Active Wrap set that is absolutely perfect for lunches because the sandwich bag/wrap actually folds out into a “place mat” which I imagine would be nice for sticky, “germy” desks at school or at the office!
These bags are fantastic for sandwiches, wraps, fruits, veggies, cookies, bars, chips, pretzels, crackers, and pretty much any other food you want to carry with you.
I know I’m excited to use the AgainBags this year… and even more excited that they are offering two gift certificates as this weekend’s giveaway!

We have a rotation with our snacks… we have two a day (and then 3 smaller meals), and we rotate between yogurt, hummus/peppers and applesauce for the one snack and 100 calorie snacks, granola parts, fruit strip/almonds, and cottage cheese and fruit cup for the other snack.
For lunches- that’s easy… we always double our dinner and eat the leftovers for lunch the next day…So I am only cooking one meal a day.
Amanda says
I like/follow you on facebook too!

Another lunch I’m loving… premade chicken salad from costco, lettuce and sliced carrots into a wrap.

We love grapes, frozen yogurt, pretzels, string cheese, and of course a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich! Mmmmmmmm!
Tricia Bosma says
PB&J for the kids when they aren’t in peanut free rooms, crackers and cheese, meat and cheese. Always free fruit and veggies. I’ve looked at the AgainBags and would really like to give them a try.
Sue says
Already a fan of both you and Againbags!

Always have string cheese and freeze go-gurts that thaw during the day!

Bonnie Germann says
Yogurt, fruit, homemade bread for sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, and cookies from Grandma are our kids lunch stapes.
Jamie says
PB&J of course!
Melissa says
We switch off between bringing yogurt, dried plums, raisins, grapes, carrots, pretzels, and sometimes crackers as snacks with our lunches (the main meal is usually left-overs).
As for what we’re packing them in, usually the hard plastic boxes and disposable zipper bags. These reusable bags look like a great alternative to zipper bags though!
Stace @ Saving Stace says
I like Simple Organized Living and AgainBags on Facebook 🙂
Anna says
My go-to’s for lunches are leftovers. I always try to cook enough extra at dinner to have some leftover for lunch the next day. Cook once, eat twice (or more!)
Maria says
We have been “friends” on FB for a while now. 😉
Anna says
I liked your Simple Organized Living facebook page.
JEN VALENTINE says
I would love to get some of these, love the patterns and love your blog! God Bless!
Stace @ Saving Stace says
I have an assortment of containers that I use for packing lunches for my kiddos. Sandwich containers, snack containers, smoothie containers…you name it! But, most of my containers are all hard plastic containers with lids. I would love to try these AgainBags. Thanks for the giveaway!
Maria says
Leftover shuffle for myself. I send pb&J or meat & cheese “pinwheels”, homemade muffins & fresh fruit & veggies with my toddler.
Suzanne says
What a great way to be a better steward of the Earth!
Kadie says
Grapes, homemade granola and yogurt are staples in our lunch boxes for work. Of course our lunches usually include breakfast and lunch.
Kristen says
I’m a teacher so lunchtime can be short … I like to bring salads or sandwiches most days to save microwave time 😉
Laurie says
I already ‘like’ Againbags on FB.
Laurie says
corn dog muffins
PB & banana on wheat
PB & J
chips and salsa
Again bags would be perfect for these! I don’t have any yet. I have three in school and a hubby who take a lunch every day.
Leanne says
My lunch staples are definetly carrot sticks and celery, nuts, and pretzels. Also, homemade yogurt and granola (thanks for your fabulous recipes).
Monica F. says
My go to staples for lunch are turkey sandwich, chips, apple and chocolate chip cookie.
Maria says
Vegetables to dip and pinwheels.
Grace Norcott says
Dad has Alzheimer’s so I take lunch over to Mom and Dad’s and spend time with them. Leftovers or a salad are my typical choice. The reusable bags would be great to hold my snacks (homemade gluten free bread or snack mix). Also having healthy snacks with me when I’m on the go helps me a lot. Plus hubby carries his meal to work so these would be handy for him.
Debbie says
LIked you on FB !!!! 🙂

I like SOL on FB
Tammy Skipper (@Tammy_Skipper) says
Our absolute go-to item is PB&J, but we try to keep variety by putting lots of goodies inside tortillas as roll-ups. Everything from lunch meat sandwiches to sliced bananas and peanut butter.
Debbie says
We have two teens in the house that have to take a lunch everyday! I am always trying to
keep it mixed up. They get board very easy with plan jane sandwhiches 🙁
We do wraps, pita pocket and homemade lunchables. Trying to get healthy down them when I can! They hit fast food whenever they can get it! lol Try to use fresh meat when I can as well and not so much processed meats. I would love some cute again bags to suprise them with! 🙂
