The trip has been booked, paid for and the day of departure is getting closer and closer. At this point, at the latest, some people realize that it is time to buy one or the other utensil to make sure that the contents of the case are really complete.
In this context, it often becomes apparent that supplements of this kind can burden the travel budget in advance. Fortunately, however, there are some ways that can help you take advantage of the savings potential that is available.
The following sections provide some valuable tips and show which items should be included on the to-do list for the time before the holiday.
Tip No. 1: Use vouchers to complete your travel wardrobe
If you notice a few days before departure that your swimwear no longer meets your personal taste, you often still have time to react. Those who find OTTO vouchers, for example, often benefit from a high savings potential. As is so often the case, it is of course important to check the respective conditions in advance in order to be able to enjoy the corresponding advantages.
One thing is certain: Even short-term purchases do not have to be hectic. And with the right vouchers up your sleeve, you can easily get a bargain or two.
Tip No. 2: Create lists early on to be able to compare prices
Even though price comparisons via the Internet do not take much time these days, it is important to deal with your individual needs as early as possible.
Or in other words: If you make a list of all the clothes and items that have to be bought by the day of departure, you can save money by making the appropriate comparisons … and also make sure that the time before departure is not too hectic.
Tip No. 3: Don’t buy everything new – focus on quality instead
Admittedly, this tip is suitable for consideration all year round.
If you spend a little more money on your clothes (and/or use one of the vouchers already mentioned in tip no. 1), you often benefit from a longer shelf life due to the high quality of the materials. And it is precisely this that ensures that the corresponding accessories are also able to survive several vacations – whether on the beach or in the mountains. Of course, this also applies with regard to active holidays, where experience has shown that the equipment is put to the test.
Tip No. 4: Shop locally
Depending on the travel destination, it may be cheaper to buy clothes or accessories locally. By the way, an appropriate procedure also offers the chance to secure a beautiful souvenir that always reminds the person in question of the respective vacation.
Of course, it is also important to pay attention to the quality offered in this context. A typical example: If you buy sunglasses on the beach and only pay a few euros for them, you should not assume that the lenses are able to reliably block UV rays. Therefore, it is always important to take into account not only the first impression, but also the price-performance ratio offered.
Tip No. 5: Secure everything optimally
Ensuring that the contents of the suitcase are as low as possible also means, among other things, optimally securing the items inside the suitcase. Leaked shampoo bottles can not only be annoying, but also ensure that the search for a cleaner at the holiday destination becomes topical.
If you want to avoid stress of this kind, it is best to pack liquids in separate containers and these in turn in sealable bags. In this way, it is usually not difficult to protect your wardrobe from accidents of this kind.
Result
Packing your suitcases for your holiday, for example in Lanzarote or any other place where the temperatures are still pleasantly warm even in winter, should be fun and definitely not stressful. If you take enough time to prepare everything and at the same time know what savings potential is available, you often create the basis for the “best weeks of the year” to start a little earlier.
