Lunch Tote by Built and Giveaway


One of the things I do to stay healthy is to bring my lunch to work. This simple act ensures that not only will I have healthy foods available to me at work, and I will save money by not getting takeout, or lunch in the cafeteria. I recently purchased a Built lunch tote, and I am in love with it. The bag fits a variety of different sized containers, it's machine washable, and it fits perfectly in my bag. I am rather boring when it comes to picking out items - I usually go with neutral colors for things like jackets and bags - but when I purchased this lunch bag I bought this fun, colorful polka dot pattern.

Because I love this product so much, I am giving away two of these Gourmet Getaway Lunch Totes!

Stats from the Built website:
  • Insulates up to four hours (time varies depending on external temperatures)
  • Tested for lead safety—no vinyl or PVC used
  • Made from neoprene (the wetsuit material)
  • Zip closure
  • Machine wash cold, drip dry
  • Soft-grip handles
  • Stores flat
  • Stain resistant
W 12" x H 11.5" x D 6.75"

Good Luck!

  3. This would be useful, as I carry all of my ziploc containers to work in a regular grocery bag...I pack snacks and lunch for the day mostly every day, usually leftovers of pizza or pasta. For snacks I try to get 1 fruit and 1 something sweet/salty.

  6. Oh I was just saying this morning (as I percariously placed a pyrex of soup in my Coach bag!!!) that I need a lunch bag!

    My go to lunch is: Yogurt, small salad with some sort of protein, and some fruit. I usually also pack something sweet for the 3pm slump, too. (cookies, usually)

  9. I've been wanting one of these. They're so cute! I always bring my oatmeal breakfast, a turkey wrap, grapes and yogurt.

  11. I bring lunch to work almost every day. My go to is leftovers from the night before, otherwise a salad (in the summer) and a sandwich (veggies, turkey or tofu + pickle) during the winter. If I buy lunch, it's either something from b.good or a wrap from Tossed <-- my recent obsession (had it today!!).

  12. For both financial and health reasons, I try my best to bring my lunch to work everyday. On days when I forget my lunch or didn't have anything to bring, I keep an emergency lunch option at work (usually soup, a can of tuna and crackers or something frozen). There are definitely days where grabbing lunch w/ the co-workers is more appealing, but I try not to make it a habit.

  13. I love to bring my lunch! It helps that my coworker likes to share with me - we bring in our creations for tasty lunch hours.

  14. I always bring my lunch to work. It helps me stay in control of what I eat and takes the guess work out of figuring out how many points a meal might be at a restaurant (just started WW). This bag is so cute! I would LOVE to win it! I usually carry my lunch in my gym bag then transport to the fridge or in a grocery bag. Not so cute! Pick me, pick me! :)

  19. I have one of these lunch totes and I love it! (it could use an upgrade though - its pretty old and is getting a bit dingy). I almost always bring leftovers for lunch - I make extra on purpose - but this week I'm planning to take salads topped with roasted veggies and ogat cheese.
