If you’re one of the lucky few who is heading to a warm climate during the cold winter months, first of all, we’re incredibly jealous. Second of all, we want to help you make sure your packing is space-efficient and cost-effective.

Avoid the stress of packing – and those hefty bag check fees – with the easy travel tips from our experts here at CouponCabin.com.

Plan ahead. Figure out what activities you’ll be doing each day and what type of restaurants you’ll be eating your meals. Make a list of specific outfits to suit each occasion and stick to it when you’re packing!

Stick to the basics. You can repurpose the same basic pieces in different outfits each day so your suitcase won’t be as full. Think jeans, solid color tops and tanks. Throw in one pair of dressy shoes and a few pairs of versatile comfortable shoes.

Be prepared. Bring a Tide To Go Stain Remover Pen (FINAL PRICE: $3.99 at TigerDirect.com) to make sure you don’t run out of clothes because of spills!

Pack smart. Bring one outfit to travel in, especially if you’re traveling from a cold climate to a warm one. Don’t waste precious suitcase space with multiple warm outfits.

Make it fit. Pick up some vacuum seal bags (FINAL PRICE: $13.95 at Crate & Barrel). You’ll save tons of room and if you can squeeze everything into one carryon, you’ll avoid additional bag fees.
