Our Best Meal Prep Containers To Save Money and Cut Waste
03 October 2022
The current cost of living crisis has forced us to make huge changes to our daily habits.
We’re layering up more, switching on less, and doing just about everything we can to make our finances stretch to new lengths.
And our approach to food and meal prep is no different, with more and more of us choosing to save money by taking freshly prepared, home-cooked food to work.
Chances are, you probably spend more than you like on food at work, and you’re not alone.
In fact, the average UK employee spends up to £15 on lunch every week!
While tempting, those little purchases can quickly add up – leaving you hungry for that extra weekend spend.
Luckily, our meal prep containers and snack pots are proving a hit with customers looking to waste less and save even more money.
Reusable Food Boxes and Containers
An easy way to save money is to cook your dinner at home and bring it to the office.
Not only is this a great way to cut down on those canteen calories – it’ll give you more freedom to personalise your meals and enjoy the food you know and love.
Our Reusable Food Boxes with Lids are great for those wanting to plan ahead for the week and take their meal prepping to the next level.
Available in two shapes, these reusable food boxes are ideal for work and are microwave, dishwasher and freezer save – helping you cut down on costs as well as plastic use.
If you’re hungry for something even more portable, look no further than our Clip Top Mini Food Containers.
Whether for work or school, these mini clip-top food containers will keep food fresh and stored away safely.
Eco Friendly Storage Containers
Every little helps when it comes to saving money, and with our eco-friendly food containers, we’re making it easier for our planet to share in those savings, too.
In the UK, it is estimated that five million tonnes of plastic is used every year – nearly half of which is packaging.
Bringing home-cooked meals to enjoy at work, school or on-the-go is a great way to reduce the damage that food packaging brings to our environment, while bringing extra savings to your monthly outgoings.
Stylish, portable and easy to clean, our Eco Glass Clip Lock Food Containers keeps all your fresh food tightly locked away.
They’re available in two sizes, too, meaning you won’t have to worry about dishing out those larger portions.
For lovers of bamboo, our Glass Food Containers with Bamboo Lids combine luxury appeal, sustainability and natural strength to leave a food container that helps you save money in style – all while protecting our natural eco systems.
