I am looking to find a cheap pill case for all the vits after surgery.  I was wondering if you could tell me what works for you.

I have found this one but IDK if it will be to small.

I think you will find those too small and inconvenient.

I use the AMPM organizer and keep this at home: http://www.amazon.com/Apex-Weekly-Organizer-Twice--Colors/dp /B000EGKTEW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311168931&sr=8-1

And then I use Pill Bags for the two daily doses I take with me to work: http://www.amazon.com/Reclosable-Disposable-Moisture-Resista nt-Pill/dp/B000E1B6B2/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=131116896 5&sr=1-1

Honestly, I use the Pill bag for mid morning stuff and a small bead bag similar to this one: http://www.amazon.com/Sealing-Zipline-Brand-Clear-Plastic/dp /B0028Q2HFK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1311169090&sr=8-5 for the afternoon one.  That way I can tell which is which.

I reuse the bags, so I am not being wasteful... but if I throw one a way no biggie.

This is what works best for me, but others will have a different system.  You really just have to figure out what you like best.

These work best for me. A little spendy on the front end but, worth it!

This one looks interesting, but is only 3 days worth. It is a good price though!

I think all the ones you posted are too small. :(
Just my 2 cents. :)
All the best,

Everyone seems to really love the monthly organizer.

Personally, I don't like opening a lot of little doors to sort vitamins.

I use this:
http://www.amazon.com/Weekly-Times-Practidose-Medication-Org anizer/dp/B000XUI54U/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1311173806 &sr=1-1
I bought 3 or so from Walgreens for...$13 or $14 awhile ago.  I like it because the whole blue lid lifts up to display the big tray to sort.  Then each day has a little door that slides down so I can display one dose, tip it over and pour it in my hand.

When I need to take doses with me, I have one of those stacking bead organizers.

And I just put a couple doses in their own compartment, screw shut, and take it with me.

I like those because I can put other medicines in a separate compartment.  Stool softeners, antibiotics, etc.  And it doesn't open in my purse.  I did have problems with some of those 4-a-day hinged organizers wearing out and opening in my purse.  I think some people started putting rubber bands around theirs just in case.

and really love it :)  It holds all of the vits that VitaLady has on her schedule...only I don't have calcium in the cases since I'm using the chews instead.

 We have 2 different types of Dollar stores near us, and they both have several types of pill organizers.
They are the same as the ones at the drug store, but cheap, and I like to have lots of matching ones so I can load a months worth of vitamins in one sitting.

I use small mini ziplock bags, they are 3 X 4 and I love them.

I reuse them until they fall apart. They last a long time. You can get them at Michael's or Hobby Lobby in the bead department.

Here is link to some http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PKBNJK/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp _sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201 &pf_rd_i=B003WHFTL8&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0K3FNGHBFD 9EAXK1F4F8

I make up 60-90 days of vits at a time, put them in a larger ziplock bag in the cupboard and pull one out each morning.  When the bag is empty I know I have taken all I need to for the day.

Since I am on the go a lot this works well for me, as they can go in my purse or pocket etc and are not bulky.

Snack size Ziploc baggies. Not kidding. I love it. They don't weigh anything, I can throw them in my purse or bag and if I loose one, who cares.
