    15 Dollar Store Travel Hacks That Are Actually Really Useful

    Planning a trip just got easier.

    1. Buy a stick of deodorant and empty it out so you can hide your money in it.

    2. Put a shower cap around your shoes so they don't get your clothes dirty in the suitcase.

    3. Stick a balloon around the top of your hair and body wash products so they don't leak.

    4. Throw a clothespin in your toiletry bag so your toothbrush doesn't have to touch the counter.

    5. Put your earrings and small jewelry in a pill container to keep them organized.

    6. And put your necklaces through straws so they don't tangle.

    7. Put a kid's arm floatie around a bottle of wine so it doesn't break in your suitcase. (Plus, you can use it as a koozie at the pool!)

    8. Put your hair heating tools in an oven mitt so you can pack them while they are still warm.

    9. Put a binder clip around your razor so it doesn't cut you when you reach into your bag.

    10. If you don't want to take a whole bottle of lotion or face cream, put some in a contact lens case.

    11. Put colored duct tape around the handles of your suitcase so you know which one is yours.

    12. And zip-tie the zippers of your suitcase together so it doesn't accidentally get zipped open.

    13. Use an empty Tic Tac container to keep your toothbrush bristles from getting dirty.

    14. Use a mini jaw hair clip to keep your chargers from getting tangled.

    15. And put dryer sheets in your suitcase so your clothes smell fresh!
