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.

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.
