^^ Your pharmacy should give you the option of a regular, non-child-proof cap. If it doesn't, switch to another pharmacy.

Walgreens' Rx bottles have a top that can be used as child-proof, or flipped over for simple on/off.

My pills from the new pharmacy come in a bottle that's horrible to open. I've always been bad at opening things, but even my husband thinks the bottle is ridiculous. I dread taking my meds every night just because I know I'll have to do battle with a child safety cap first.

How about you open it once and either leave it uncovered or place the lid on top but don't secure it, that's what I do with child proof lids.

I thought about that but I'm paranoid about it falling open (I keep my medicines in a drawer) and that my cat would get to them.

Put them in a ziploc bag.

You know what’s gross, though? When you buy a one-pound bag of white rice, put it on the shelf, don’t open it, and weeks later there are little bugs inside. The eggs were sealed INSIDE the damn bag! You’re eating bug eggs when you cook the rice.

Keep the rice (and the flour as well since those little devils are also in there) in your freezer. Do this and you eliminate the problem. Rice and flour last forever this way.

Next time you are in the pharmacy, check near the prescription counter. On one of the shelves there, you should find a seven compartment plastic container labelled for the entire week. The lids on these snap shut and are easy to open. Should cost you about $1-2.

I can't believe no one has posted a link to this song yet, titled "Toy Packaging."

Tooooo true... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1t90Bg9wAw

As far as my packaging issues, I keep an X-acto knife around for that kind of stuff.

But the point is that eggs shouldn't be there at all! I've bought other rice--no problem.

And the boxed couscous never has had a problem, even when it's packaged identical to the rice-roni and was on the shelf next to it.

Free food, and you're complaining?!
