Anyone bring home lunch or a cooler to work?

[Nocturnal]

I bought those igloo packages that you can re-freeze however two out of three bags have started to leak. I figured it was a fluke and after the first one leaked I bought another two. Then one out of those started to leak too. Is there a trick that I am missing to keep them from leaking or are these supposed to leak after one day of using them?

I bought the ones that are in the hard plastic but carrying two of them around is pretty heavy. Any ideas???

Leaking or just condensation?

You mean the stuff with the blue goo inside? It's not supposed to leak.

Guessing your work has no fridge, just freeze a plastic water bottle and toss it in with your lunch.

I use my icy cold stare to keep my food chilled while on the go.

I carry a small igloo cooler with 2 of those hard plastic blue ice thingies (larger ones), it's not that heavy at all. It keeps a can of pop ice cold all day, even if it's warm when I put it in. You have to tote your cooler with you all day or just from your car to your desk?

That's what I do too. Fill your used plastic water bottles about 80% with tap water, freeze them, and put them into your lunch box with your lunch. Will stay cold for most of the day if not directly under the sun.

Plastic bottle of frozen water ftw. It doubles as a ice pack and can drink the water as the day goes on.
