http://www.ziploc.com/ (I can't find a direct link, but it IS on the site)
I spotted 1 last package of these at Walmart the other day and grabbed them because they looked like the perfect size for DDs' lunches. We do have two sets of Laptop Lunch sets, but I find that as much as I like them, I get tired of washing all the little containers and the "shell" all the time and I end up not using it. Also, sometimes I want to send more than 1 wet food and it won't work for that. I love the concept of the LL but was finding, especially with 2 lunches to pack and unpack this year, that I didn't love the execution.
I used the Ziploc Divided Rectangle dishes for DDs today and they were great! Raspberries in the smallest compartment, greek yogurt in the medium compartment, and string cheese + crackers in the largest compartment. I definitely could have fit more food but that was enough for them for lunch. Both girls came home with the lids on and no leaks (something that wasn't always the case with the LL, despite them trying). Another bonus is that the Ziploc container is much lighter than the LL, which is especially nice for my 4yo K student.
FYI, I used their LL Bean Critter lunchboxes and the Divided Rectangle containers fit perfectly, along with Rubbermaid litterless juice boxes and an ice pack, and there was room to spare.
