My neighbor the retired nurse taught me a packing trick for meds that saved $60 on my last trip

I was telling her about how I spent $80 just to bring a small first aid kit and some allergy pills to Costa Rica last month. She said just bring a pill organizer and refill it from bulk bottles at home. Label each compartment with a piece of tape and a Sharpie. I did that for my weekend trip to Asheville and it cost me maybe $4 total. No more buying tiny travel packs at the pharmacy. Has anyone else got cheap medical kit tips that actually work?

Check your pill bottles for humidity warnings some melt in heat.

Hold on, wait. Melting? I had no idea that was even a thing with pills. I've definitely left a bottle in my car during summer before but thankfully nothing turned into a gooey mess. Guess I got lucky, your mileage may vary on that one.
