Trudeau’s FUEL Collection: Eco-Friendly Lunch Box Essentials

Packing your own homemade lunch to school or work not only helps you save money, but may also help promote your health with fresher ingredients and less processed food. Trudeau’s FUEL collection offers a good number of innovative, eco-friendly lunch box essentials including food and beverage storage containers and cutlery sets. All FUEL products are reusable, recyclable, BPA free, and designed to easily fit in lunch boxes or bags.

I was given the opportunity to try out three products from the FUEL collection: Classic Lunch Bag, Stainless Steel Food Jar and Snap Cutlery Set. I love the overall look and feel of these products, especially the use of the kiwi green color, which is gender neutral, fashionable, and representative of green living.

The Fuel Classic Lunch Bag adds tremendous style to the iconic brown bag. It's big enough to hold both food and drink and its size is easily adjustable with the Velcro strip, which also provides a secure enclosure for the contents inside. It's tear resistant and can be used over and over again. Retail price: $14.99.

The Fuel Stainless Steel Food Jar is vacuum insulated to keep anything inside hot or cold for up to six hours. It has the perfect size (12 oz) to pack school lunch for my oldest son. My favorite feature is its wide mouth design, which helps prevent food spills when filling it up. It also makes it super easy to clean. The leak proof lid is easy to open and close, so there is no need to worry about my child not being able to access his lunch on his own. Retail price: $24.99.

The Fuel Snap Cutlery Set includes a stainless steel fork and spoon with polypropylene handles that snap together for safety and easier storage. They are sturdy and easy to use for both kids and adults. Available in Kiwi and Coconut. Retail price: $5.99.

You may visit Trudeau.com to check out the other products in the FUEL collection, such as the salad bowl with built in dressing storage and ice pack, the multi, removable compartmentalized bento box, the vacuum sealed soup container with separate pieces to house crackers and chips, double walled beverage bottles, and many more. All products are available at mass market, grocery, and specialty stores nationwide. Use the convenient "Find this product" tool on each product page to see where it is sold. Hope you will start getting fueled with these awesome eco-friendly lunch solutions soon!

My Giveaway

Debbie Meyer, known as the “Home Problem Solver,” has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a wonderful prize pack consisting of the innovative Debbie Meyer GreenBags 32-piece set and Debbie Meyer GreenBoxes 20-bag variety pack (ARV $29.98)!

The holidays often involve a lot of cooking and food preparation. Made from food grade polyethylene and unique, proprietary food safe, natural substances, the Debbie Meyer food storage system is designed to help keep your food fresh for a longer period of time. All Debbie Meyer GreenBags and GreenBoxes are safe, BPA-free, reusable, budget-friendly and made in the USA.

Each Debbie Meyer® GreenBags® 32-piece set includes three 16oz, six 24oz, five 32oz and two 64oz boxes with lids. I really love that the boxes come in different sizes so that I can use them for different purposes and occasions. I also love that the boxes are stackable and nestable, which helps save space both in the fridge and in the cupboard when they are not in use.

Best of all, they help extend the life of fresh produce, baked goods and snacks like no other food containers! This feature is especially helpful around the holidays, when we need extra time to prepare meals beforehand and when we likely have more leftovers to save for later use. You can also fill a Debbie Meyer GreenBox with freshly booked treats and gift it directly to co-workers and friends! The boxes are microwave and dishwasher safe, which makes it easy to reheat food and to clean afterwards.

Mr. Lid Storage Bowls Review

Have you found yourself frequently looking for the right lids to your food containers? Mr. Lid is here to help with their complete line of storage bowls with hinged lids. Featuring their patented attached lid design, Mr. Lid products make sure that your containers and their matching lids always stay together!

Mr. Lid kindly provided me with a set of their bowls for review. As you can see from the picture, the lid and the bowl are securely connected. Besides the hinged lids, there are many things I love about these containers. First, they are BPA free and therefore safe for storing food. Second, they are microwavable. This is important to me because I primarily use microwave oven to reheat meals from the fridge. This feature saves me the trouble of transferring food from one container to another in order to get it microwaved. Third, the bowls come in a good variety of sizes and shapes, which are designed to meet different storage needs. The smallest ones are perfect as a snack box for the kids while the deluxe one can hold a lavish meal for adults.

In addition, the containers are versatile. They are so much more than food containers. As demonstrated on Mr Lid website, they can be used to organize office supplies, art supplies, store small household objects, and to keep pet food fresh. There is plenty of room for creativity as to how you may utilize the bowls. The fact that the storage bowls can be used, reused, and re-purposed means that they are a huge money saver.

Right now, you can get 20 containers in different sizes for just $19.95 with FREE shipping! Order yours today!

Easy Lunchboxes Review & Giveaway

I remember how much you guys loved my previous Easy Lunchboxes giveaway. Here's another chance to win one...just in time for back to school!  

Review done by Donna's Deals and More

Easylunchboxes was born out of a Mom's innate ability to do things efficiently while on a shoestring budget, and her desire to send her daughters to school with simple, healthy food, with little to no extra packaging or ingredients. Her past struggle with weight control inspires her to teach and model healthy eating habits for her children, and has fueled her dedication to always send them off to school with a great lunch.

Packing school lunches can be a little tricky, especially when you have a 9 year old that can eat as much or more than your 40 year old husband. I was really excited to receive our new lunch box. Jayden loved the color and I thought the storage capability was fantastic! It even comes with these great storage containers that fit in the lunch box! You can fill one up with a sandwich and some veggies and then pack loose items or stack two containers on top of each other. Both the lunchbox and the containers are very durable. They're easy to clean. They're also PBA free and FDA approved.

They are a consistent top-seller in the "lunch box" category on Amazon too with FREE shipping in the US!

One lucky person will win a set of Easy Lunchboxes in a color of choice! Open to US residents only. Please do not enter this giveaway if you have won or received free product from EasyLunchboxes within the past 3 months.

Rubbermaid All-In-One Food Storage Set Review and Giveaway

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

I'm sure Rubbermaid is not an unfamiliar name to most of you. Our family has been using Rubbermaid products for years. To me, Rubbermaid is a time-honored brand that stands for quality, durability, and affordability. Rubbermaid provides a wide range of products that help people meet organization and storage challenges in the kitchen, the garage, closets, and other parts of their home. Rubbermaid's blog Adventures in Organization also offers valuable organizational tips and real life experiences from Rubbermaid experts.


Known as a "Brand of the Century", Rubbermaid continues to bring us new and innovative products. Their brand new Easy Find Lids™ system introduces lids that snap together and to bases to simplify food storage and organization. Luckily, I was selected to review an All-In-One 20-Piece Food Storage Set featuring Easy Find Lids™, Produce Saver™, Lock-Its™ and Premier™ containers in various sizes.

I absolutely adore these useful and versatile food containers. All of them are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. The Easy Find Lids system has a smart design that saves the trouble of matching lids to their bases and that allows containers to stack neatly together. I'm particularly impressed with unique features of the Produce Saver line, which utilizes the Fresh Vent and Crisp Tray to let in air and to lock out moisture. Fruits and vegetables are therefore kept fresh and crisp for a longer time.

My husband's favorite is the Lock-Its containers, which he uses to take lunch to work. The extra locking tabs make sure the lid is securely locked in place and prevent messy food spills. The Premier line is made of shatterproof plastic that resists stains and odors for a long time. Tomato sauce and chili sauce tend to stick to plastic containers especially after being heated in microwave. The problem has been resolved since I started to use the Premier containers for storage and reheating. These containers also have Flex & Seal™ lids that are easy to seal and open. I highly recommend the entire food storage set to everyone!

Rubbermaid products are widely available in supermarkets, drug stores, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, and hardware and home center stores across North America. You may use this printable coupon to save $1.00 on your purchase of Easy Find Lids food containers.

Rubbermaid runs excellent contests and sweepstakes too. For instance, between now and October 18, 2009, you will be entered into a weekly drawing to win 1 of 5 Rubbermaid All-In-One Food Storage Sets by sharing your food storage challenge or solution on www.EasyFindLids.com.

In addition, you may enter the Rubbermaid Reviews & Ratings Sweepstakes, which runs from 9/30/2009 to 10/29/2009.
