The back-to-school shopping sales are upon us, and one of the best deals I’ve seen so far is this hefty price cut on Bengto’s classic five-compartment kids’ lunch box. It’s a clear favorite among my daughter’s classmates, and it’s also the Strategist pick for the best (less expensive) lunch box overall, with a 2.5-cup total capacity (a perfect size for preschoolers and kindergartners in particular); a leakproof silicone seal that works for both wet and dry foods; and five separate compartments for packing a variety of foods, which is great for picky eaters. And speaking of picky, there are a whopping 35 different colors and prints to choose from, so even the most discerning child is bound to find at least one they love. They’re all on sale for just $19 right now, but act fast — the savings expire at midnight.
