I pick up about 20 packs of crayons, note pads and hot wheels and hand them out to kids in developing countries. $60 for me isn’t much but the smile on a kids face is priceless.

Yes! I've been looking forward to 'packing hacks' and 'tips and tricks' video from someone like yourself and Suzanne, who can be described as 'professional travelers'!

(2:15) Tip: if you are buying an outlet extender, please make sure it is UL Certified to ensure it doesn't damage your electronics.

Wtf... Suzanne's suggestion of using a pill organizer for jewelry blew my mind 🤯 Amazing idea!

I used to work all over Africa - I always travelled with duct tape and gaffer's tape (no residue). But no need to travel with the entire roll. Just wrap 5-8' around a pen. It'll keep it easy to use, and you now have two pens (one for each type of tape) easy to find in your bag. Thanks for the fun video - enjoyed seeing the choices y'all made!

Hey Flight Attendant here and I can tell you that I have at least 10 of these items, that 3 outlet plug has very often been a friggin life saver!!!!

I love love the Dollar Tree. One of the tips I would add is, (if your traveling domestically) Dollar Tree is also a great store to visit when you arrive. Things like liquids can be saved for when you get there.

Love the idea about shower caps for shoes. Packing tip…. Yes please

That is the cleanest, most organized Dollar Tree I've ever seen. The ones in Chicago are messy.

Hi Jeb and Susanne ! I like using chip clips to keep hotel drapes and curtains closed. They of course keep snack bags sealed during trips as well. Safe travels to you both.

Can't say this was on my Jeb Brooks 2024 bingo card lol, but the more you know😂

Jeb, yes! Most expert travel tips work well in the EDC life - having small zip bags, first aid kits, in your daily carry bag. I see a travel video mini-series: dollar store travel finds; best bags (checked luggage, carry on, daypacks, backpacks); travel snacks; personal safety when traveling; etc. Thank you and Suzanne for your knowledge and expertise! Rosalyn

First - you have a really nice Dollar Store. The one near us is woefully under stocked. Second - I do most of these - always travel with ziploc bags - they are the duct tape of travel. Always buy my toothpaste and shaving cream at the Dollar Store - the 2.7 ounce size is ideal. I have a blue ribbon on my bag, a cough drop/life saver combo bag in my briefcase, and buy snacks. Hadn't thought of the dryer sheets - good idea there. Thanks!

Love this! Your enthusiasm is infectious and a main reason I love your videos. It may sound weird, but your videos got me through a lot of hard times. Your high energy and positivity truly does impact, thank you guys for your videos!

Great editing on this video!! Absolutely loved it! Love watching the cam flashes from the $ store to your actual life application in the airport, hotel, etc! Loved this video!

This is usually our first stop getting off the plane. Soft soap, toothpaste, clips, hair stuff, sanitizer. Foil, plastic bags, glad ware type plastic containers, sodas, water. Then you don’t have to cram in your carry on. Suzanne’s purchases are mine too!

Suzanne, the pill organizer and shower caps were GENIUS. Thank yall!!!! I recognize my home airport, Atlanta. Have a great train adventure home!

Great tips! Another item from just about any dollar store that comes in handy (and takes up hardly any space in your luggage) is denture cleaning tablets. I don't have dentures, but those little effervescent cleaning tablets can be used for many other things, such as soaking items that have become stained from food or other substances. If your hotel bathtub has a clogged drain or is draining slowly, crush a few of the tablets, put them in warm water and pour it down the drain. In an hour, run hot water to clear the drain. If your active travel day resulted in stinky sneakers, place them in a bucket (or in the sink) with two or three tablets and warm water. After an hour or two, rinse them and let them air dry. They will be clean and deodorized.

I love dollar tree, but I’ll say that was probably the cleanest and most organized dollar tree I’ve seen.

The snacks from Dollar Tree are the number 1 best thing to buy for an airplane trip. I do it every time. I avoid eating at the airport or on the plane that way.

I'd enjoy your packing hack video. Several years ago I had a job which required frequent airline flights. A couple of flight attndants passed on a hack or two. I'm always looking to learn more! In the snack purchasing don't forget to add chewing gum. If you are ever on a flight and can not get your ears to pop due to colds or any other reason, a piece of gum can lead to big relief.

@5:50 "What a time to be alive."😂😂😂 Jeb is hilarious! I canNOT😂😂😂😂😂 I just love Suzanne too!!❤ I'm on a work sabbatical and will be traveling every month this year. Thank you so much for this video!! You're the best.❤❤

That triple pack of refillable bottles is also TSA friendly, holding enough product to take you through a short trip. Mine hold shampoo, conditioner, and liquid soap (it lathers up better in hard water and you don't have to lug around a slimy bar of soap). If you're going on a plane, take the time to cover the tops with a bit of plastic wrap or put the filled bottles into a ziplock bag, then squeeze out as much air as you can. Big changes in air pressure can cause bottles to pop open and leak everywhere, so protect your stuff.

Wet wipes! Baby wipes for cleaning your armpits or nether regions during and after a long flight, and hand sanitizer wipes just in case the toilet runs out of soap.

The craft aisle also has little plastic containers with lids that you can put your face cream in.

Jeb & Suzanne I wish I could truly express how I feel about you two. My wife and I travelled frequently until I got extremely ill. But as upset as I feel somedays knowing I will never get to these places you are taking us with you and sharing your love for travel and food. Bless you two and thank you so much for making my day and being able to share your travels with my wife. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

What a great episode idea! Thumbs up!

Nice video. I use some of these tricks myself. Here’s one for you. I don’t use the painters tape, but gaffer tape (I’m a photographer). But, take your painters tape and wrap it around an old used gift card or hotel room key card. You can get several feet of it and it’s not much thicker than the card. Packs easier.

YES TO TRAVEL AND PACKING HACK VIDEO!!!!!

Since we fly in and rent condos. We always survey what the condo does or doesn't have. Then head to the dollar tree. ...never want to spend more then necessary on some of the things we need. Foil, cooking spray, hot sauce...just the right size for a weeks stay.

I love the great buys the discount stores offer over the luggage/travel/ airport shops.

That is the cleanest Dollar Tree I’ve ever seen! The one by my house looks like “hurricane single mom with 5 kids” just blew threw, all the time..

I've seen a passenger took spray paint to his bag. Let me tell you that bag really stood out 😂

Great vlog as always! Here are some do`s and don`t from a former airline emp. Do NOT put personal stuff like a wallet, car keys and medicine in your checked bag! No liquid. If you do, and it spills YOU may have to pay for the damage to other pax luggage. Use a metal container champagne comes in, stuff it with socks and underwear to make the bottle safer. Flying as a family with more than one bag; divide all the clothing and shoes in all the bags. So if a bag is missing, all are good except dad. Put your business card in a side pocket, so they know who to contact if found nameless or tagless. I always have my toiletries in my carry on together with a pair of underwear and socks. Take a picture of your passport. You need to confirm that you are you at the Embassy. That is all I can think of for now. Smoke alarm and flashlight is also a good thing. Make sure you know where all the exits are, also on train, busses and hotels. Keep up the good work. Be safe!

Enjoyed this video. I love Dollar Tree for travel essentials, and already have almost all of the things they bought in my "always packed, ready to go" toiletry bag & carry-on. When I return home from a trip I refill or replace everything I used, and never get to the airport to discover I forgot or am missing something (like deodorant). I've been using those clear zip folders for more years than I can remember to hold itineraries, boarding passes, confirmations for hotels & rental cars, excursions, cruise documents, etc (yes, it's on my phone, too, but just in case of a dead battery, I'm all set). I also have, from Dollar Tree, a tiny sewing kit, first aid supplies, gum for the plane, small comb & brush, Clorox wipes, a flat magnetic flashlight for metal cruise ship walls, magnets for those same walls, and, instead of those large 3.4 ounce refillable hard plastic bottles for shampoo, conditioner, body wash & lotion, I purchased, again at Dollar Tree, silicone single serve dressing bottles (like for a salad). The caps come in different colors (good for more than one traveler), and I label each bottle. As you use them, they get flatter, so they take up even less room in your 1 qt zip-loc bag on your return trip home. I filled them all a few weeks before I traveled to see how many showers per container I could take, and packed accordingly. I do put saran wrap first and then screw the cap on to prevent leaks - so far, so good. Last year, for a 3 week summer trip to Europe, my daughter (thankfully!) bought me a small usb operated fan (which I used countless times - no a/c at our friend's house!). I also brought laundry soap sheets, which I ordered online. Hand washed a few items of clothing on the ship, so didn't have to pack as much. I think my best tip would be that if you travel a lot, always have your toiletry bag and carry-on (with unmentionables, nightwear, and one outfit) packed and ready to go. One less thing to worry about, and sure saves time packing. (edited for spelling error).

love u guys thanks for making a difference in our world your both are super amazing love you stay safe

Thank you!! Please do the packing tips too! Great Video!

Glad you showed me the items from Dollar Store. Yes, would like to see what you packed for a trip!

I take a white and cream colored sun hats. Dollar tree has some really pretty scarves. I pick a few and wrap one around the hat to match my outfit.

This may sound corny, but you can learn a lot from these guys. Travel can have its ups and down. Even when these guys have reason to be negative- they are always positive and grateful. In all seriousness-it is a great life skill. You will undoubtedly have hard times in life - but if you can have their positivity in will go a long way in your life and those around you.

Don't forget those decks of casino playing cards there at the checkout aisles! Always good to have one or two of those on any trip!

Great tips! Also, when staying at a vacation rental for a month, we've bought stuff at the Dollar Store or at thrift shops that we left when we went home. For example, our rental house had a set of very nice wine glasses that we were afraid we might break, so we bought four at the Dollar Store for everyday use. Some (but not all) paper goods and plastic bags at the Dollar Store are a good deal.

I love the both of you. Please keep making videos together. It keeps me smiling.

YES! I love this! Nice way to change things up! Even slobs like me who rarely travel anywhere has learned! Good job! (Wish my dollar store was that clean and quiet!)

Great tips; ribbon on your suitcase makes good sense. All luggage looks the same. Best video by you. More of this definitely. 😊

Great ideas! A little bit of money at the dollar store can make a big impact when traveling, and it's much easier than trying to find the store when you reach your destination. I had to adhere a sticker to my bag so I can identify it. It does make it easier to locate when it comes around the carousel.

I always hit the dollar store for essentials for my travel. My hacks are the white stickey hooks for hanging clothes or small ones that fit over the doors to hang towels.

Bringing aisles and miles of smiles.

I buy a lot of that stuff at $Tree for travel but I've never thought to take along a nightlight! Always blinded in hotel rooms when I go to the bathroom in the night. Except one Hilton in NYC that had strip lighting around the base of the bed that came on when your feet got close enough. No tripping!

I started packing a small packable handbag (DC Metro Silver Line Ph2 Opening!) and one of those drawstring backpacks and its a game changer. I use the small one when I'm at a con and wanna buy merch and the drawstring bag for walking around and just wanna keep some stuff close. The documents folder is an excellent add on. I like to print out boarding, hotel, and conference docs in case my phone dies. Yes to the travel EDC. I'd love to get tips for stowing smaller items into pouches.

Yes, do the packing video! Great tips here and for sure a big money saver!!

Packing is an ever--evolving task! I'd love a packing hacks vid. Thanks for all the fantastic tips and trip advice!

I’d like to see your tips for packing! The Dollar store has so much good stuff! Sometimes you just need to go up every aisle!! Thanks for sharing!

Jeb and Suzanne, thank you so much for this video! Another great thing to have, would be clothespins or clips for when the drapes in the hotel room don't stay completely shut. A friend of ours shard that with us, and we're passing along the info to you.

Hi Jeb & Suzanne, Thanks for your video chock full of tips for travel. Looking forward to seeing your new adventures this year. Best Wishes, Peter

Jeb, seeing you at the Dollar Tree on New Garden Rd made my day because I just realized that a famous KZfaqr and potentially my aviation idol lives right here with me in Greensboro!!!

Bandana. Can be used to tie hair back, folded over eyes to keep light out while napping, tied on suitcase handle, handkercheif, sweat band, wash rag, impromptu mask for bank robberies...just kidding. It doesn't take up any space and it does have a lot of uses.

This was great. A lot of your tips we already do thanks to my Mum being a wise traveller and teaching us the tricks of the trade but we still learned some new ones. Other hacks and tips videos would be so appreciated. We love your videos.

Im glad we use Amtrak or greyhound much easy for check in

I have used the shower cap hack on shoes in my suitcase for many years. Shower caps are also useful to protect your feet at the TSA check point. I quickly put them on over my socks to walk thru the scanner. No worries of picking up "germs" from the hundreds of thousands of feet that have crossed the check point. Once past the TSA area, find a bench to remove the shower cap protectors and slip into your shoes once again, germ-free. I carry a second pair for my return trip. They take up very little room and give the "germaphobe" in me great piece of mind. New subscriber today.

Really really really enjoyed this video and I hope you do many many many more. Shopping for travel supplies and packing tips would be appreciated!!! The dollar tree ideas were just fantastic!!!!!

It's a good day when Jeb posts :)

Jeb you are such a happy guy with a ton of charisma, myself and wife really enjoy your content. cheers

I'm not a traveler (l live vicariously through you 2 🙂), but even for a weekend trip, these are great ideas. Thank you!

I travel a lot and yet I never thought of the shower cap hack for my shoes! Great idea! Thanks for all your great videos! Really enjoy following your adventures.

I've always hit up Dollar Tree before a flight to stock up on snacks, but these are some really great tips and tricks!

I am a single traveler and would love to see how you do the planning for a trip, and arranging transportation to and from different modes of travel. For example getting to another state to take the train. Do you long term part your vehicle in the other state or search out different public transportation modes. Thank you for the great travel videos!

I’d love to see your packing hacks! These videos are super informative, thank you guys 🙏🏻🙌🏼

These are some really good travel tips. I usually get my snacks and a few toiletries at the dollar store as well for my travels. Tip #12, for a fresh smell in my luggage I'll sometimes through in my favorite bar soap, dove or Irish spring. Love your content as always.

I get the paper lantern from Dollar Tree to use in my cabin on a cruise ship. It has an LED light, folds flat, and uses AA batteries. Hang them from the ceiling using the hooked mag ets from harbor freight. One in the cabin and one in the bath.

Wow thanks Jen and Suzanne!😀🇺🇸❤️✈️

pill organizer for jewelry is GENIUS omg!!!

Hi Jeb and Suzanne I love your videos and I would love to see your packing tips and hacks keep up the great videos

Love this!! More tips and tricks for traveling would be lovely from you guys! I feel like so many of us relate to your and Suzanne’s down-to-earth sense of traveling, so your Professional But Real views would be so helpful! ❤

I take that round pill holder and put meds like Imodium, Advil, Tylenol ECT. I write on the back with a marker the product and then put in a Ziploc bag. It works great for your purse too. I get a roll of colored duck tape and put a line of it around the middle of my suitcase. I like bright purple. It also helps if your zipper breaks.

Glad we got to see more of Suzanne in this vid! Yall are fun to watch together! ❤

What a fun and different "travel" video. Thanks for taking us along!

Ziploc bags are also great for keeping stuff organized and for shaving a little time off at security checkpoints. Ponchos are great too. Also an eyeglass repair kit. You never know when you’re going to need to tighten the screws on your sunglasses or change the battery on your fitness band.

Hey Jeb :) I'm a teenager who watches your videos, and I think it's interesting when you gon on flights that often don't start or end in the same place. However, I noticed, you've never been to my home airport in Baltimore, BWI airport. You should go some time. It's actually a pretty nice airport.

Zip lock bags that's one of my main things. For travel and use them for plane tickets etc

Great tips! Will definitely be picking up some of these items on my next trip to Dollar Tree! Thanks!

If you buy those travel size bottles and fill with liquids, put Saran Wrap on it before screwing the lid back on.

I might not need all of these items you recommended but my word, what a really great video. Really helpful to have genuine budget items recommended, even more that its available from one store! Definitely saving this video for when I next travel!

I dont know why, but everytime i see Jeb, I smile. Keep up the great work, sir!

Great ideas! Thankyou

Thanks Jeb! I’m going to travel a bit this summer so this will help a lot.

'Dollar Tree' has been my go-to for a few years now for some of the same travel items in this video. Good suggestions for a few more things I'll pick up next time. Thanks! edit: I would love to see some of your packing hacks as well.

Packing hacks and travel gear would be great!

One of your best videos yet very informative, yes more packing hacks and maybe before and after places to stay and things to see if a brief description would be nice. Thank you

Thanks for the tips!❤

Ah yes, another great video from my two favorite KZfaqrs! I love the advice in this video and it's fantastic watching the range of you channel's videos expand even further! Bravo, you two!

Thank you for the video!

Wow! Never thought about the shower cap on the shoes! I always just used a grocery bag!

Now I'm definitely gonna be stopping at the dollar tree before my Europe trip later this year.

This was a good one! Would love to see some of your travel/ packing hacks!

Awesome tips! Thank you Jeb!

I love the 2.5 gallon ziplocks to pack clothes in, yes dollar tree. Chapstick , a book, ear plugs and a n eye mask are my travel must haves from dollar tree.and the disposable washcloths, they are Yardley brand and great for freshening up.

Hey guys, happy Saturday! I'd definitely like to see a "packing hacks" episode. Along the same lines, maybe episode on travel clothing (doing laundry in your room?) and electronics/gadgets. I like the name of your licorice, "Wiley Wallaby"...good for a trip down under, eh? Enjoy your trip to California, the sunshine is back...for the time being, anyway. Happy trails!

Yes! Love your hacks! Please share more!

Yes, I’m interested in a video showing packing tricks from you guys 😇😇
