Walmart is a great place to score some affordable travel items before summer hits. Whether you’re flying or hitting the road for some family vacation time, you can get much of what you need at Walmart right now without breaking your budget.
Ready to go shopping before the crowds hit the aisles? Here are some of the best travel items to get at Walmart ahead of summer.
Hardshell Luggage Set
- Price: $116.99 (regularly $278.99)
Planning a summer vacation abroad or a cross-country road trip? Snag this four-piece hardshell luggage set from Walmart. It includes four matching suitcases of varying sizes, each with spinning wheels for easy maneuverability and adjustable height handles.
You can get it in eight color options, including herringbone blue, red, light purple and light green. This means fewer chances of losing track of your luggage on the belt. Not only that, but these lightweight suitcases are resistant to impact and scratches — so that’s less stress for you.
Refillable Travel Bottle Set
- Price: $10.99 (regularly $20.00)
TSA is known for its strict policy on bringing liquids through security. If you’re a frequent flyer, pick up a 12-piece set of travel bottles. They’re leakproof and made of silicone, meaning they’re easy to clean and lightweight. Whether you’re packing lotion, shampoo or facial cleanser, you’ll find a bottle perfectly sized for what you need.
Travel Kit for Women
- Price: $8.00
Have you ever found yourself midtrip only to realize you’ve forgotten your travel-sized shampoo or toothbrush? Fortunately for you, Walmart’s got you covered with this 11-piece travel kit.
Each piece is TSA-compliant, but you don’t have to reserve this kit for flights. It’s compact enough to be thrown into any suitcase or car. Included are such toiletries as Crest toothpaste, a toothbrush with a cover, a styling comb, Degree deodorant, a bottle of Jergens lotion, and a bottle of Pantene shampoo and conditioner.
Travel Kit for Men
- Price: $8.00
Although anyone can use it, Walmart also offers a travel kit geared toward men. Similar to the previous one, it has 10 pieces of TSA-compliant items, including toothpaste, mouthwash, shaving cream, a toothbrush, and two-in-one shampoo and conditioner.
Set of Packing Cubes
- Price: $15.89 (regularly $69.99)
Packing cubes are great not only for staying organized but also for keeping your clean and dirty clothes separate. Right now, Walmart’s got a great sale on these packing cubes for travel. They come in a pack of nine, which includes three mesh bags (small, medium and large), an underwear bag, a shoe bag, several drawstring pouches and a small bag for cosmetics.
Microfiber Neck Pillow
- Price: $10.12
Don’t pay $20 for a neck pillow you’re going to use only a few times when you can get one for half the price at Walmart. This one is made from black microfiber and is soft, supportive and lightweight. It also has a snap closure you can use to attach it to your luggage.
European Travel Plug Adapter
- Price: $14.46
Are you planning a trip to Europe? You’re going to want to bring a travel plug adapter with you. While you can usually find these at international airports, you could save money by getting one at Walmart.
This particular one works in the U.K., European Union, U.S. and Australia. That means you can use your devices in over 150 countries.
Airline-Approved Pet Carrier
- Price: $17.99
Finding a decent pet carrier for under $20 is tough, but Walmart’s got you covered. This airline-approved pet carrier is perfect for small dogs and cats. It has soft sides, four mesh windows and a padded cushion. Depending on the size you get, it can carry pets up to 13 pounds.
