I love Lock & Locks! Would love to see a weekly vitamin sorter container added to the mix.

I totally would buy it! I need one that has large enough sections for a small handful of supplements. I really need to find something to help me with my supplements.

BTW, totally didn't need yesterdays TSV but bought it because it was such a good deal.

@Sunnycorle & @seetsie

Check w/your local senior citizen agency (Social Services) and/or senior centers. The containers come in all different sizes & shapes.

They give those things away for FREE!

I think getting a vitamin sorter is a great idea. I now use two containers that I found at a health fair and have my supplements available for 14 days... This makes it very easy to use when I am getting ready for work... Excellent idea and don't know why it was never asked for.

My guess is that you can purchase these at any drugstore or probably grocery store for a dollar or two. It's not a money maker for a giant retailer to sell on television.

Love my lock & lock and have replaced a few pieces because some of the locks have broken off and the container is no longer air tight. I reacently purchased the small rounds containers with the twist lids - hope they are better... Other than that these containers are the best.

How about a square or rectangle divided container for cold cuts... One side for meat and the other for cheese... Don't like putting them all together and getting smells mixed.

Hi @chickenbutt

You can but they're not a good quality. I've gone through several.

And IMO a major problem is that it takes strength to open and close them. I had a heck of a time with mine when I had a broken finger in a splint for months. DD and DH kept bringing me new ones to try but they are pretty much all the same.

I currently use a 14 day container for my vitamins when we go on trips. It works pretty well, but the lids come loose sometimes. I would love a Lock & Lock container because I know the lid would stay shut.

I take some rather large fish oil capsules, etc. and could never find a pill sorter large enough. I bought some of the clear disposable salad dressing/condiment containers that come with lids. I write the day on the lid with a Sharpie and sort my pills into the container. I don't take my pills first thing in the morning so this allows me to just grab the one for that day as I'm packing my lunch for work. Works great for the larger capsules/pills.

My husband puts all his pills in the containers of L&L that I'd use for celery. That container is from awhile back. It's not a daily dispenser (I agree with CB, that we can get from the grocery store, pretty cheaply).

Today we went in and got the 2 dishes hubby can use for grilling. I showed it to him and he said, yeah, I like that, so we got it and should have it in about a week. He was surprised to see that the choices for L&L had shrunk so much. (I think we bought it all, but I won't go there!!

I have a wonderful 7 day am/pm locking pill organizer that I bought at Walmart. It was cheap, and it works. I've used the same one for years. I just did a search, and Amazon has them for $8.99. It's listed as "7-day AM/PM locking pill reminder." You can also buy the ones that don't lock.

Hi Chris,

I recently purchased the lock & lock bread storage container. I LOVE IT! It's especially great for camping and boating. NO MASHED BREAD! YAY!.

I do have a request and/or suggestion. I would love to have containers for hotdog bun packages and also hamburger bun packages. If there could be loaf of bread, hotdog and hamburger container combo, I'm sure everyone would purchase immediately!.

Thank you for your consideration!

I have a large pill sorter I bough at CVS about 4 months ago. I have some rather large capsules I take, a fish oil cap is one of them. There are currently 9 varied sized pills and capsules in each at any given time, and I could fit more.

Readily available on Amazon, but not for $2 or $3 dollars.

I would absolutely purchase! I have pill trays that have Morning, Noon, Evening and Bedtime with room for 1 week of pills/vitamins. The ones you purchase at the drugstore are very expensive, which is ok but they do NOT last! The hinges are so poorly made that they wear out in no time. Now I don't mind spending good money on something but it upsets me when the quality is poor AND it is not made in USA. Also the material that Lock & Lock uses is stellar! One of my favorite things about it is how well it washes up! No staining, no odors and never gets that sticky feeling that alot of plastics get after alot of use!
