Edit: Are you able to go to Norcross? There is a Japanese Grocery Store called Tomato Japanese Grocery. They might sell the bento boxes there.

Good Luck!|||If there is an IKEA near you, you can buy this container set: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/produc鈥?/a>





It isn't pretty like a bento box, but with so many containers, you can put several small ones in the bigger ones and it works like a bento box. I've done that before.





If you need it attractive, you could do the same thing, but put the small containers inside a metal tin like these ones: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/produc鈥?/a>





Tins and storage containers can also be found at stores like Target and Walmart. Specific bento boxes though, I haven't seen.|||Usually you can find them at any Japanese supermarket. Since I don't know where you live or what stores are near you, I'd suggest just getting regular ol' Tupperware for now and buying one later.|||I'm not sure where you live, but in some cities in the US there's a Japanese equivalent of a 'dollar store'. It's called DAISO JAPAN, and mostly everything they sell is $2.00 (a steal for a bento box) rather than $1.00. You can find everything Japanese there, including bento boxes. There was actually one in my hometown, but it went out of business a couple of months ago. Search for DAISO JAPAN in your city online.
