    Can't post a picture, but I'll describe. :tongue: I work 24-hour shifts at the fire department. I bring a large soft-sided cooler, tall enough to fit my 6, liter-sized water bottles and my gallon Rubbermaid jug and food containers for the day. I also bring a box, standard cardboard, with my dry goods. (ie. Coffee, snacks etc...) I pack enough for 36 hours, just in case I get held over. No cute little lunch box for me. :ohwell: Tho' I'm loving some of the cute ones that have been posted. :drinker:

    Wow props! 6 liters worth of water is a lot of hauling. Must get your workout in one sitting lol

    LOL I've been held over at work and/or had really slow days where food runs out WAY before shift does....so I probably over pack, but if it doesn't come with me, then it doesn't get eaten. One of the 6 liter bottles is my "creamer" that I make for my coffee. The rest are protein drinks to help me make my macros, they tend to be too syrupy for my taste if I make them as directed, so I do one in a liter of water for the same protein grams and extra water. It works. I just wish they made a CUTE cooler, I would buy one.

    It's been so long since I've posted a picture on here, I don't know if I remember how to do it right. lol

    This is mine, a thirty-one bag in butterfly print. The reverse side doesn't have the polka-dot print, just the butterflies.

    Almost looks like the same size as mine.

    It's not a bad size, but if I wanted to bring much more, it might be difficult. I can fit 5-6 16 oz bottles of water in it (I've done it for long trips). I generally bring a frozen lunch (mostly Lean Cuisine), carrots, some Oikos dip for the carrots, a Greek yogurt, a cheese stick or cottage cheese and a serving of beef jerky. There's still room for more, I could fit a fruit or two in there, for sure.

    I'm easy. I just reuse plastic grocery bags.

    I have one of these genius things, and use it everyday for my lunch salad:

    Salad_To_Go10054476_2_x.jpg

    I fill the bottom bin with spinach, the top sections with chopped veggies, cheese, and chicken, and the middle container with dressing. Then I just pop it into a grocery bag with my afternoon snack (usually an apple with peanut butter, or some cottage cheese and fruit or something) and away I go.

    I use this one as well. It works for me and I don't usually have an issue putting anything in it. We have 2 and H and I rotate them. I also have a Vera Bradley cooler that I bring when I need to

    I commute to work on a train and then walk a couple miles each day, so the less I can carry the better. I can typically fit my lunch in my purse.

    When I can't, I use one of these bags: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FSBE2PK/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 AWESOME market tote bags, also great when buying cold things at the store. When I use this bag for lunch I'll carry a smaller purse and put my lunch and any cosmetic bags, etc. in the market bag.

    I just reuse plastic grocery bags now but I'm in love with this bag. Might have to get them :)

    I have an Igloo Mini City bag like this one http://www.igloocoolers.com/Soft-Sides_cat?mem=f only mine is black, grey and turquoise.

    I love it. It fits my mason jars of veggies and the exterior pocket holds my sodas.

    I use this:

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ5arLIxBpHmYWB9i6mwjIOZ6boOWLpaJGvYfXErgSvkI6OznLrYg

    If everything doesn't fit, I'll use my purse or, if it's necessary, a Publix shopping bag.

    Can you provide a link or the brand name?

    You use Mason Jars? That's awesome, I've never thought of using jars to store my veggies. I have ideas now! :)
