Eating Well

My goal to cook healthier meals at home is going well, but I could be doing even more. I’ve always been interested in meal prepping and decided it’s finally time to invest in quality kitchen tools and storage containers.

I spent hours scouring Walmart’s site to find affordable kitchen tools for meal prep,  and the 12 best are all under $30. My top picks include this now-$2 mason jar to prepare overnight oats, this stainless steel knife set, which is 72% off, to prepare various dishes, this best-selling food chopper from Ninja, food storage containers from Pyrex and Rubbermaid, and more.
