Fill a clean pill bottle with nuts, candies, or other small snacks. It’s a great way to keep portion sizes in check and have a quick bite on hand.

Clean Thoroughly: Wash the bottles with warm, soapy water to remove any residue. Rinse and dry them completely.
Remove Labels: Peel off the labels and use rubbing alcohol to remove any adhesive residue.
Label Clearly: Avoid confusion by labeling the bottles with their new contents.
Why Reuse Instead of Tossing?
Repurposing pill bottles not only helps reduce waste but also saves you money and keeps small items neatly organized. Plus, finding new uses for everyday items can be surprisingly fun and rewarding.
So, next time you’re about to toss out an old pill bottle, think twice. With a little creativity, you can give it a new purpose and make your life just a bit more organized and sustainable!!
