I definitely second that these are helpful. Honestly, I'd be in a world of hurt if I didn't have them. Plus, I would hate having to remove pills from all of the bottles each day as I have so many bottles. I even have two weeks worth of the morning/evening boxes. I fill them all every other week as sometimes a week seems to fly by after which I often procrastinate filling the boxes.

Unlike in the US, Czech pharmacies almost always fill meds in push out packaging. That's so inconvenient that every so often I sit and literally push out dozens of pills in one sitting and put them in bottles I reserved from the past. Though inconvenient, the extreme cost savings of medications in CZ is worth the effort. In most cases, my meds here have zero co-pay. When they do, the co-pay is ridiculously low.
