Surprised at the weight of the toiletries in cases

i wouldn't know i use a supermarket shampoo but shower gel is expensive as is body spray.
i try not to buy over there and then discard it as i try not to waste things but i travel solo. for a family it will probably all be used.

i just decant into smaller bottles but only take shower gel, shampoo, body spray and perfume.

the chocolat, well caramel m n m's that i bring back probably weigh 3 times my toiletries

I use the hotel shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and small bars of soap they put by the basin.

Just take a deodorant, toothbrush, and small sizes of toothpaste, mouthwash, body lotion and face moisturiser.

I travel very light on the way out. Quite the opposite on the way home. 😱😂

I always take shampoo, conditioner and styling product because my hair is very temperamental. Beyond that, we tend to buy over there as there are 5 of us and we usually get through a fair bit of stuff (we tend to go for 3 weeks). I always go to Basin on the first night and treat myself to soap and shower gel, then we go to Walmart and buy toiletries for the others!

We were in Florida last month. I always take all our toiletries with us but we were away for a bit longer than usual, so ran out of some stuff. We had taken a large Dove body wash that I bought in Tesco at home for £1.75, to buy the exact same shower gel in Publix was over $8! I couldn’t believe it!

We take shampoo / conditioner / soap bars these days. It really cuts down on size and weight of toiletries.
