IF you're trying to save some money this year, you may have decided to start taking a packed lunch to work. Splashing out on food every day can quickly add up, and it's much easier to control costs if you factor them into your weekly food shop. Not only that, but you waste valuable minutes of your break time finding your food and queuing up to pay for it.

But if the thought of sitting down in your staff canteen and pulling out a battered, crushed old sarnie doesn't tickle your fancy, there's a solution for you. The British retailer is selling a packed lunch box in the perfect shape for your lunchtime sandwich.

One happy customer posted a clip of the product to TikTok, where other users called it a "great idea.". Her post quickly garnered attention, and has so far racked up 363,000 views. The triangular storage solution has the perfect dimensions to fit your sarnie in - as long as you cut it diagonally.
Small enough to fit in your bag, it's the perfect option for people who hate getting to work and finding their lunch squished. And users in the comments were blown away by the handy box. "A solution to a problem I didn't know I had," said one person. "Great idea keep sandwich fresh and not squashed," said another.
"I have been imagining this box for 3 decades," said someone else. However, not everybody shared the excitement, with some people preferring old-school methods. "Easier to use a sandwich bag," one person said. "Yeah but then the sandwich gets squashed," someone else replied.
"The point of it is that you can rinse this and reuse it, people won't do that with a sandwich bag," another person argued. "A squashed sandwich & a one-time-use plastic bag in the landfill for centuries. Yeah, OK…." said somebody else. The NHS gives a number of suggestions and guidelines on their Chnage4Life website.
