I'm a mom of 3 and my kids are going to start a new school year. I want to find them a lunch bag that keeps cold and fresh. I was thinking about getting each of them a pack it lunch bag, but I'm not sure until i know if it works.
Answer
I've seen the ads and I have not really paid attention to them. If there is a30 day money back guarantee, or something like that, you could get one, try it and see if you think it's worth getting two more. When I was in high school, in the early 90s, reusable and insulated lunch bags were just coming out. When my husband was in seminary, about five years ago, I found a large one which I used for work. (It was on the community free table. I spent my days, for about three months, babysitting for another family and working in the office of a local church. I packed breakfast and lunch and if I donated plasma after work, a light snack and ate dinner at home.) We used it for my now three-year-old's food when she was a baby. We have a rectangle one that my pastor husband got as a Christmas appreciation gift from a local funeral home. (It also came with a six pack of Coke.) We use that one now for our seven-month's food. (We use the gel packs that came with the formula solicitations at the hospital when my daughter was born. They're a good size and last awhile.)
When I saw the commercial pr the Pack It, I thought about how we had metal, and plastic lunch boxes and Thermoses and paper bags for lunches and we survived just fine. Yet, there might be something to the Pack It. I just haven't decided if it's worth $20. (I"ve even seen mini-coolers during back to school season, but never saw them marked down to get one for personal use.)

School lunches...?
I think school lunches should contain a fruit, dairy, fiber, some sort of veggie, & protein maybe. Can you name 5 different things from each group that would be nice to have for a kid's lunch? Anything else like sandwiches or snacks like pudding or jello would be nice too lol. Thank you guys & gals!
I want ideas to pack lunches at home. This has nothing to do with school lunches!
Answer
Grains: crackers, bread (on sandwiches), tortillas (instead of bread, make roll ups with meat, etc.)
Protein: hard boiled egg (I peel it and put it in a ziploc bag), lunch meat, peanut butter (on sandwiches, celery slices, or on tortillas), nuts
Fruit/veggies: baby carrots, apple slices, grapes, celery, peaches, apple sauce, orange slices
Dairy: string cheese, yogurt (tube kinds are best for the lunchbox - keep them in the freezer and it will thaw by lunchtime), cream cheese (on tortillas or crackers, or in celery), ranch dressing (to dip carrots in), cheese (on sandwiches, etc.)
It's good to have an ice pack in the lunch box for items that need to be refrigerated (lunch meat, eggs, yogurt, cheese, anything with mayonnaise etc.) so that you don't risk your child getting sick.
