    Uses for old pill bottles:

    In my bug out bag: one for matches (with strikers from match boxes), mini survival kit, mini first aid kit, paracord, sewing kit, batteries, bullets, salt and pepper packets, etc.

    In my vehicle: Plackers (dental cleaners), gum, cough drops, batteries, paracord, fuses, spare ear buds, spare charger cords for phone and tablet, etc.

    At home: Ear buds (keeps each set of ear buds from getting tangled), spare charger cords, kitty treats, toothpicks, paracord parts (skulls, beads, hex nuts), etc
