The Box

OK, so you start with this:

It's a cupcake holder from Dollar Tree. Cost: one buck.

You can find a whole host of different small containers to go in it, such as a snap-top sandwich container...

a veggie & dip container...

icepack-lidded containers in two sizes...

cups with lids...

smaller condiment cups with lids...

and snap-top containers in many sizes.

You can even get a cool bento-looking set of cutlery in the kids' dishes section. This matches the red of the box exactly and the fork and knife even snap together! How cool is that?

I was able to get several different combinations to fit in the box so that the lid would still go on it.

You do have to mess with the lid quite a bit to get it to go on right, but once you have all four sides clipped, it holds together quite well.

Here's a pic of my packed Mexican Bento. I couldn't find room for everything, so two containers had to ride shotgun.

Recipes and meal plans for what goes into the Dollar Tree Bento will come in later posts.
