If you have ever tallied the cost of a "quick" lunch out over a typical working week, you will know it can swiftly escalate into alarming figures. With £5 here and £8 there, your bank balance might soon demand a serious conversation. This is why many of us begin each month with the noble intention of bringing lunch from home, only to abandon the effort by Wednesday.
M&S Revives the Packed Lunch with Stylish Tupperware
However, Marks & Spencer may have just rejuvenated the appeal of the packed lunch, thanks to a newly launched tupperware range that is so visually appealing it practically invites you to fill it with pasta salads and poke bowls. The collection has gained significant traction on TikTok after creator @hollyshopz posted a video urging viewers to "run to M&S for the most aesthetic lunch collection." The comments section reveals overwhelming enthusiasm.
One user exclaimed, "I do not have money but I am going to buy them anyway," while others praised the vibrant colours and described the items as "the cutest."
Affordable and Aesthetic Food Storage Options
It is official: chic food storage is currently trending, and M&S has positioned itself perfectly within this movement. Prices start from just £4, which represents a modest victory, especially when contrasted with the expense of a few shop-bought lunches. The range includes a small plastic container, a larger plastic one, and the standout piece—a ceramic storage bowl that appears far more enticing than the typical "sad desk meal." The ceramic bowl, in particular, seems ideally suited for large, colourful salads, grain bowls, or leftover pasta.
Anyone who has ever owned a cupboard full of mismatched, slightly cloudy plastic tubs understands that half the challenge with packed lunches is maintaining enthusiasm. M&S has precisely addressed this issue with its affordable and aesthetically pleasing collection.
