Traveling can get expensive but is absolutely worth the cost. You’ll definitely want to make sure that you’re spending your money on your trip instead of the things that you’ll need to take with you.
Luckily, there are dollar stores, pharmacies, and the internet. Here are some super cheap traveling hacks that will make your trip a breeze.
Sewing/First Aid Kits
Kits are always necessary for when emergencies strike. You don’t want to be caught off guard while you’re traveling. A box of bandages or needles and thread can run you $10 if you buy them all separately. Thankfully, the dollar store has one-time use kits.
If you don’t end using them on vacation, you can toss them in your car.
Daily Pill Cases That Double as Jewelry Case
You’re not going to want to lug every single bottle of vitamins and pills with you, so grab a daily pill case from the dollar store. You can also use it as a jewelry case.
Velcro Wraps
Use a velcro wrap to keep your computer and phone chargers and other wires untangled. You can also use these to keep your hair ties organized.
Clothespins
Clothespins are a great way to get those pesky hotel room curtains completely shut. You can also clothespin a garment to a towel to get it to dry.
Smartphone Amplifier/Phone Case
Dollar stores have the darndest things. You’d be surprised at the valuable stuff you can find at the dollar store. Like this Smartphone amplifier or cell phone cases.
Fancy Duct Tape
Use colorful duct tape on your luggage to distinguish it from others.
Freezer Bags
Place your shoes inside freezer zipper seal bags so that you can shove your shoes wherever you have room. This way you won’t have to worry about your dirty shoes touching your clean clothes.
Straws
Untangling your necklaces can be a nightmare. Slide them through straws and fasten them to prevent them from getting tangled up.
Reusable Grocery Bags
Collapsible grocery bags can fit just about anywhere in your luggage. You can use it as a carry-on on the way home to store all the souvenirs you bought on your trip.
Tiny Hair Clips
These can be used to prevent your headphones or cell phone chargers from getting all tangled up.
Zip Ties
Make sure no one has messed with your luggage by securing your zippers together with plastic zip ties. Don’t worry, these are TSA approved!
Binder Clips
Putting binder clips over your disposable razor heads will prevent you from accidentally cutting yourself while you sift through your travel case.
Small Plastic Containers and Coloring Books
If you’re traveling with children, you’ll need to keep them entertained en route. Small plastic containers are great for portable snacks. Dollar store coloring books and crayons are also great for keeping them occupied. This stuff is so cheap that it doesn’t matter if they get left behind.
Balloons
Top your bottles of lotion, shampoo and hair products with balloons so that they don’t spill and destroy everything in your luggage.
