WELCOME BACK.
IT'S TIME FOR NEAT CHEATS.
ONE OF MY HAPPIEST PLACES IN THE
WORLD IS THE DOLLAR STORE.
AND THERE ARE LITTLE HACKS YOU
CAN USE FROM THINGS YOU BUY
THERE.
SO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VERY
SHORT VIDEO THAT I SHOT AT THE
DOLLAR STORE USING JUST MY PHONE
AND LOOK AT THESE ITEMS AND SEE
WHAT YOU THINK THEY COULD BE
USED FOR WHEN PACKING A SUIT
CASE TO MAKE THE PROCESS MORE
EFFICIENT.
WATCH.
>>> (MUSIC
♪♪♪
♪♪♪♪ ALL RIGHT.
SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS
WE SAW THERE?
>> THE CLIPS THREW ME OFF A
LITTLE BIT.
FRESHENER.
>> SO LET'S START WITH THE
BASICS.
THEY DON'T NEED A LOT OF
EXPLAINING.
SO FABRIC SOFTENER
HAMPERS.
WHEREVER I GO ON A VACATION.
I CAN'T STAND WHEN THINGS START
TO ACCUMULATE IN THE CORNER OF
THE ROOM.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD GET FOR
ONE DOLLAR TWO SWEATER BAGS AND
THE SWEATER BAG SIMPLY LOOKS
LIKE THIS.
IT'S THIS -- SO YOU CAN DO
INDIVIDUAL OUTFITS IN YOUR
SWEATER BAG AND THEN YOU'RE NOT
RUMMAGING THROUGH YOUR SUIT
CASE.
RIGHT?
IT'S A GREAT IDEA.
>> MAYBE A BEACH DAY ONE DAY
AND THE NEXT DAY YOU'RE DRESSED
UP.
>> OR PANTS IN ONE, SHIRTS IN
ONE.
SO WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING -- EXACTLY.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING I DIDN'T
KNOW YOU COULD BUY AT THE DOLLAR
STORE BUT I SWEAR BY THESE.
THESE ARE LITTLE PLASTIC THINGS
THAT GO OVER CONTAINERS SO YOU
NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
FINDING A LID AGAIN.
SHOWER CAPS OR THESE.
PUT YOUR SHOES IN THEM.
SO WHEN YOU'RE PACKING SHOES,
YOU'RE NOT GETTING YOUR SHOES
OVER EVERYTHING.
RIBBON.
WHY WOULD I GET RIBBON?
PUT IT ON YOUR SUIT CASE TO FIND
IT.
SO YOU'RE GOING SOMEWHERE AND
YOU DON'T WANT YOUR SHOES TO
TOUCH THE COUNTER EVEN THOUGH
THEY DO A GREAT JOB CLEANING,
IT'S RIGHT THERE.
BALLOONS.
YOU SAW THE BALLOONS.
YOU HEARD ABOUT PUTTING THINGS
IN A PLASTIC BAG.
LET'S TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER.
PUT A BALLOON OVER THE TOP TO
SECURE IT.
>> THAT HELPS A LOT.
>> IT DOES.
AND NOW THIS ONE IS ONE OF MY
FAVORITES.
OUR PRODUCER ABBEY ACTUALLY DOES
THIS AT HOME ANYWAY.
IT'S AN OVEN MITT SO WHEN YOU'RE
READY TO GO AFTER YOU USE
A -- MARK, WHEN YOU'RE
FLATTENING YOUR HAIR.
[LAUGHS]
YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT FOR IT TO
COOL OFF.
PUT IT IN AN OVEN MITT.
ABBEY DOES THAT AT HOME ANYWAY.
I'VE SEEN THESE FOR $8 OR $9
USED SOLEY FOR THAT PURPOSE.
SO THERE YOU GO.
I SPENT $10 TOPS?
I'M THE MOST EFFICIENT PACKER
EVER.
JUST GO AHEAD AND E-MAIL US WITH
YOUR NEAT CHEATS
OH, WITH THE CORDS GETTING ALL
JUMBLED.
I'M GOING TO SAY IT WAS ABOUT
$10 OR $11.
IF I HAD TO DO A COUNT.
SO DOLLAR STORE PACKING
EFFICIENTLY.
