Default "sack" lunches

Hi
I just registered, i've been searching for about an hour online for the best places to buy bulk single serving milks, juices etc for my son's lunches this school season and haven't come up with much if anything. What I was really looking for mainly was single serving size Almond Breeze, Rice Milk and Organic juices/ smoothies but in bulk.
Does anyone here buy bulk online?

another question
what are some healthy lunch ideas that you might care to share.

I can comment on the drinks. I am el-cheapo (and proud of it!) and refuse to buy anything at our overpriced cafe. I make my smoothies the night before and transport them in a cup with a sealable lid. Same with my milk and juice! You'd probably have to find some child sized cups though and make sure the can't spill easily. I do not buy bulk online or usually any bulk.
healthy things-
carrots
celery
apples
any fruit
PB sandwich
( I don't have kids, but just trying to think what I like and what they may like!)

My grandkids like:
string cheese
yogurt tubes
pretzels with dippable cheese
hard boiled eggs
anything you can roll up in a tortilla
any raw veggie as long as there's ranch dressing to dip with
cold chicken-I roast or broil boneless chicken breasts and cut them into cubes-send choice of dipping sauces
any homemade goodie/cookies, bars that kind of thing
potato sticks

We eat very healthy here!
Whole Foods market has Organic Choco. milk sold in big cases.
Lunch ideas:
My 4 y/o usually has :
Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam sandwich
Applesauce, Yogurt
Carrots
Crackers, Cookies, or Pretzels
I pretty much only buy Organic, other than my BJ's and Costco runs.

NEver seen them in bulk, but my local grocery stores carry single serving sizes.
We don't pack lunches, but if I did, Dole makes single serving fruit cups that we take as snacks. Also string cheese, apple, orange slices, granola bars, trail mix, dried fruit, yogurt cups and things like that are things we take on the go with us!
