Secret Jabbers.....Mini refrigerated container?

Does anyone keep their pens in a small refrigerated container rather than in the fridge? I don't want to spend loads as I am basically now at GW and up until now I have been jabbing immediately and just keeping the pen in my bag. I now want to stretch my doses for a short maintenance phase so need to keep it in the fridge. I would need to be able to plug it in because the pen would be in it full time. Anyone have anything they use?

I took the empty plastic bag out of a box of wine, put my pens in a tupperware box and put the tupperware inside the wine box, then put it in the fridge.
I particularly like @Belindabelle 's idea for a single pen though!

Also brilliant!

I know someone who used to keep hers wrapped in tinfoil in the fridge

@moderateme you don't have to explain yourself to anyone, either on here or irl, I kept mine in tomato purée box but they don't seem to come in them anymore,so I wrap it up in an opaque bag in a fancy moisturiser box in the veg drawer, if anyone did come across it they wouldn't open it,they haven't btw,in 18 months.

I put my in a plastic bag and then at the bottom of the packet of ground flaxseed 😂. 100% guaranteed that no one in my family will be looking in there!

Maybe missing the point but...you keep ground flaxseed in the fridge? Is it supposed to go in the fridge?! 😱

The stuff I buy says refrigerate after opening. Some brands don’t state that, so don’t panic!

Annoyingly I finished a packet yesterday and I don't fancy rooting through the bin...but I will be buying more tomorrow and will definitely be checking.
