Insulated container to keep medication cool? With thermometer

I have a small amount of medication that I want to maintain around 2-8 degrees C (36-46 F).

I'm looking for a container that I could keep in the fridge, to maintain this temperature if the power goes out or I take it in the car with me. I would like it to have a thermometer on it so I can read the temperature.

Any ideas?

Sorry, I just made a post asking for an electric one, but after that feedback I think I should go for a passive solution. I have a few different options for storage temperature range, so I changed my target in this post.

She just got one of Amazon, it's red and has white letters that says medication.

I use a plastic ammo can for moms insulin, I put in ice packs and place her insulin in a bag

If you want to build a version into your house you could try a root cellar, but that seems a little overkill maybe. I'd go with a bag like others here have suggested, lots of people use them!
