There’s nothing more annoying than trying to squeeze your holiday items into a tiny rucksack to take with you on a flight, but thanks to these affordable bags, you’ll be able to fit in everything you need for your next trip.
And you won’t have to worry about getting a tape measure out, as these bags are suitable for EasyJet flights.
It comes after one bargain hunter was browsing her local B&M, when she spotted the epic discounts.
Thrilled with her finds, Melania Theodor Eli took to social media to share a close-up look at her cheap buys, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS, Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range, a public Facebook group with 417,600 members, Melania shared snaps of her purchases – a cabin bag and a cabin case – and wrote: “My bargain for today from B&M.”
Melania was lucky enough to get her hands on the Bordlite cabin carry-on, which was once priced at £18, but had since been reduced to just £3.
The grey bag has multiple organiser pockets, a handy carry handle and is made from a durable material.
It’s got two wheels so can be pushed along if you prefer and it’s suitable for putting under your seat on an EasyJet flight.
Not only is it now incredibly affordable, but it’s £15 cheaper than its original price too.
But not only did Melania nab this epic bargain, she also swiped an Excel foldable cabin case too.
The case, which is hailed as ‘suitable for most airlines’ was once £15, but had also been slashed to just £3, saving Melania an impressive £12.
The handy cabin bag is ideal for weekends and business trips and is designed to fit all the major airlines’ size requirements.
Holiday packing tips
Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday.
1. Write a list
Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase.
Or for complete ease, try Google’s AI app – Gemini – which will create a list for you and help you not over pack.
2. Involve your kids
Jemma said: “My girls are getting older, they’re 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say ‘this is what you need’ and they follow the list.
“And then I give them a rucksack each – and say to them ‘you can have whatever you want in there as long as it’s not liquid’, and they can take that on the plane. And that’s their ‘home away from home’ items.”
3. Try a hack or two
She said: “I think they all work, but for different reasons – and you’ve just got to pick the right one for your trip.
“Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you’re trying to get a lot of items into your case, it’s a space saver.
“Packing cubes are great – for example, I’m going on holiday with my three kids and we’re all using the same suitcase for our clothes.
“These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked.
“I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we’ve arrived.”
4. Decant beauty products
Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets – which are much lighter and smaller.
Or, if you’ll be popping to the shops when you’re abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive.
5. Get organised before you come home
Jemma said: “When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes.
“Also pack it in some form of order – so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person.
“Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don’t leave it.”
It provides a substantial 30L packing capacity and is perfect for easy travel.
Not only is it compact and lightweight, but it fits in overhead cabin space, making it the perfect hand luggage bag.
Bargain hunters react
Social media users were clearly left stunned by Melania’s discounted purchases, as her post has quickly racked up over 450 likes.
