I read a great tip in Real Simple magazine the other day I wanted to share with you all. It suggested storing pills in a contact lens case. It can easily hold a few essential non-prescription medicines such as Benadryl or aspirin. “Pop one into your handbag and you’ll have a headache remedy handy when the man in seat 7A drones on about his herniated disk.”
I’ve also used one to hold salt and pepper to take with me. I tossed it into my picnic bag and happily salted my watermelon later!
Do you use your contact lens cases for anything besides your lenses?

I use one of these containers to carry ointment. One side is used for Vicks VapoRub and the other is just regular Vasoline. I transfer enough of the ointments to fill up each side. The lids screw on so tightly that nothing leaks out. This lasts a long time since you only use just a dap whenever you use it.
Great idea, Devonie. Thanks for sharing!
I use my old contact lense cases to hold tic tacs! So useful whenever i need a quick mint, thankyou!
Yet again another great idea Chica and Jo!
I went to throw my contact lense case away the other day, when my son came in and took it off me, he made it into an ant farm! not something i would do, but it provides him with hours of fun! gotta love kids!
Hah, what a clever son you have, Amy!
