So I have to admit that until I used cloth diapers I wasn’t
really a fan of anything else reusable.
Sure I used plastic storage containers sometimes, I just didn’t do it all that much. After using cloth diapers for a few months I
decided to do some digging and see what else we used a lot of that could very
easily be switched for an eco-friendly alternative.
Since I pack my lunch and my husband’s lunch almost every
day the most obvious choice was to use reusable containers or bags for our
lunches. This is where the people at ReUse it come in. They were nice enough
to send me one of their Ecolunchbox oval stainless steel food containers. At first I wasn’t sure about the container
because it was stainless steel and I was used to using glass, but I have to
admit, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it performed.
First we used it to take snacks for lunch and it worked
perfectly. It comes with two pieces, one
which is the perfect size for carrots or celery and the other which is the
perfect size for some ranch dressing.
These people are smart! The
containers also work great if you want to take a sandwich and then put some
yogurt or homemade applesauce in the smaller container. That’s almost an entire lunch taken care of
eco-friendly style!
Not only is it a great product so that I don’t have to
constantly waste plastic baggies, but I love that this company really cares
about the product that it’s making. The
container is made out of food-grade stainless steel and the plastic lid is BPA
free! For a new mommy that’s pretty darn
important.
ReUse It has been such a nice company to provide a
container for review AND one to giveaway to a lucky reader! If you are like me and tired of seeing
countless plastic baggies thrown away, then I highly recommend a reusable container!

i have one of these and love it.. thanks for the great veggie & dip idea! :) i think stainless is especially cool too (ah ha ha) because it conducts heat & cold & if you have it in an insulated bag with a freezer pack it keeps everything extra fresh!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that there are more and more opportunities to re-use stuff instead of throwing tons of plasticbags away every day. And of course the bpa-free lid is great!
ReplyDeletei think it's nice to have a more lightweight option than glass

You were not convinced of SS because you used glass containers.

i have one of these and really like it.. thanks for the excellent vegetable & dip idea! :) i think stainless-steel is especially awesome too because it performs warm & freezing & if you have it in an protected bag with a fridge load up it keeps everything additional fresh!
