If packing your kids’ lunch for school was an Olympic sport, my mother would have been a gold medalist every year.
She taught me how to squeeze meals into a tiny lunch box, and now that I’m an adult, I’m borrowing her winning strategy to pack lunch for work — and that means stocking up on lunchbox accessories.
Although I once used old-school Tupperware (and saved more than $750 in doing so my first year packing lunch!), I recently upgraded to better alternatives. A deep-dive into Amazon’s food storage section revealed tons of new containers, snack boxes, and other space-savvy finds. Even better? Each clever accessory is under $15 — that’s less than the cost of a sandwich special at my favorite deli.

Shell and Turtle Adult Bento Box, $10 with Prime
Amazon
This bento box has five compartments, including a larger one that fits sandwiches or pasta dishes. Its silicone lid has an airtight seal, preventing spills and odors from escaping into your lunch bag. The box also comes with one mini container, silicone muffin liners to separate food, and utensils tucked inside its lid. One shopper enthused that it “leveled up” their “lunch game,” noting that there are “no spills… even with sauces.”
Rarapop Microwave Soup Bowl
Amazon
Enjoy a hearty soup or chili at the office with this microwavable bowl. Thanks to its cool-to-touch handle, you can carry it around the break room or to your desk without burning your hands after you heat it up. The 28-ounce bowl can also be used for cold meals, like cereal and salads. It’s a “must-have lunch container,” according to one shopper, who said that it is “thoughtfully designed” and “completely spill-proof.”

Goodful Insulated Yogurt Container
Amazon
Yogurt fans, rejoice! Swap those tiny individual cups (that make it so hard to mix toppings) for this 14-ounce container with a built-in granola compartment. It has double-walled insulation, which means no more room-temperature yogurt parfaits. Plus, it comes with a full-size spoon that snaps into a silicone ring around the lid. One reviewer said that it’s “easy” for their toddler to “screw the parts back together” and “easy to transport to school.”
