Pack Smart, Save Money

For travelers watching their wallets, it’s important to stick to a budget, find money-saving travel deals, and get the best rates.  Packing strategically could save you some cash as well.  Here are a few thing that I always pack!

• Empty Carry-On Travel Bottle — We like GoToob containers, that way you don’t have to waste money on travel size products.  Pack your own travel size bottles filled with your favorite products.
• Sunscreen Stick: It’s much cheaper than buying sunscreen when you get to your destination and you don’t have the hassle of TSA and the maximum 3.4 ounces.
• Snacks: I think this goes without saying… Bringing your own snacks will always cut cost.
• Empty Water Bottles: Avoid the overpriced newsstand bottled water by packing an empty bottle in your suitcase and filling it up after you’ve gone through security.
• Compression Sack: As long as you stay within airlines’ bag-weight limits, you can stuff as much as physically possible into your suitcase.  One way to maximize suitcase space is to use a travel compression sack designed to save space by eliminating air surrounding the contents of the bag.
