Chad's Crappy Corner and his 3rd under $10 gadget for August!


Chad polled our Patreon supporters and for his August theme they selected “gadgets under $10.” This is NOT a crappy corner, but something Chad likes a lot! So Chad's 3nd under $10 gadget is Pill Pack.
In a way it's a gadget, but it's more of a service. Chad found out about Pill Pack while searching the web. You can go to their website to get the full details, but here's how Chad described the service and why he likes it so much. Lots of people get their prescription drugs by mail order. They might get 30, 60 or 90 pills in a bottle for 1, 2 or 3 months of medication. If you're on multiple medications you'll end up with three bottles of pills and you have to remember to take them as prescribed by your doctor. That's not the case with Pill Pack. In instead of getting bottles of pills, Pill Pack sends the pills you need daily packed in individual clear plastic wrappers. The envelopes are connected together so you can tear off a week's worth if you're traveling, or enough for a weekend. Each envelope has the date and time you should take your pills. This makes it much easier to know if you took your pills for that day or not. Chad said the service, which included shipping is costing him just $3 a month more than the cost of the drugs which in Chad's case are covered by his health plan. Watch this episode to hear Chad describe Pill Pack in more detail, and watch the “how it works” video and browse the FAQ's at the company website:
