10. Keep refreshments cool without a bulky cooler.
Instead of lugging around a cooler on your beach vacation or on a long road trip, these insulated bags pack flat and can be tossed out before you return home.
11. Save money on basic health and wellness supplies.
Any type of trip needs emergency supplies in case anything happens. There are plenty of travel-size toiletries at Dollar Tree like hand sanitizers, antibacterial wipes, OTC medications, and bandages available in-store. Some locations may even have fully stocked mini first aid kits!

It’s so easy to lose small jewelry, especially in your luggage. Use a pill case to organize earrings or bracelets to keep them from getting lost or misplaced.
13. Keep your necklaces tangle-free with a straw.
I wish I knew about this hack before because it would’ve saved me a lot of time. 😄 All you need to do is unclasp a necklace, slip one end of your necklace through either open end of a straw, and then reclasp the necklace. This will keep all of your necklaces tangle-free!
14. Grab a clothespin or two for sanitary storage.
This DIY toothbrush holder is amazing because not only does it keep the toothbrush holder off the counter, but it’s also small and portable. Just stick it in your toiletry bag and you’re set.
15. Have dryer sheets on deck for fresher luggage!
If you’re like me, fresh-smelling clean clothes are essential! A good hack is to stick a couple of dryer sheets inside your luggage to keep your baggage and clothing from absorbing other unpleasant odors while you’re traveling or in between trips.
16. In-flight snacks are a must… and much less than at airport convenience stores!
If you want any type of food item, it’ll probably be five times more expensive at the airport. Dollar tree has a huge variety of snacks in mini-bags to satisfy your cravings when you’re waiting for your flight.
17. Grab your glow sticks and light up the night!
Bringing your own glow sticks is a fantastic way to save money at Disney or any amusement park. The gift shops will charge an arm and a leg!
