Packing Cubes

[WhitGB]

Does anyone know a site for good, reasonably priced packing cubes? We don't need them immediately but I am starting to get organized.

TIA

Ebay. Honestly, unless you travel a lot purchasing packing cubes is an expensive endeavor. ziploc bags are just as good for organizing and you can also repurpose them for wet or smelly clothes at the end of the trip.

eBags.com has their own and there are often coupon codes.

Yup. Love the ziploc bags for travel and they make them in the giant economy sizes too so you can even pack a coat in them. I only used a couple of packages of them for our trip (got them on sale so my total cost was $5 ) and it was great because my kids just had to grab a new bag every day to get an outfit. Everything for one day fit into a ziploc. No muss no fuss. Everything was all organized for them; socks, undies, shirt and shorts. Then they'd put yesterday's clothes in the old ziploc bag and put it back in the suitcase. Plus, I was able to use them for several trips.

Ziplock bags don't last anywhere near as long as the packing cubes . Plus they are so hard to fit clothes into from the top of the bag. The packing cubes open up just like a suitcase and it is so much easier to place the clothes neatly in them.

OP - I like the ebags packing cubes. Look for a good coupon and use a rewards website like upromise. I got a set of carnation pink cubes for a steal because they were discontinuing the color.

Thanks for all the replys. We have used the ziplocks in the past and they worked fine but when we went in cooler times it was getting harder to get jeans and shirts into the bag.

I was looking for a packing solution with breaking the bank...

They sell sweater bags at the dollar store and they have them in various sizes and they have zippers for easy access. The smaller ones have 3 in a box- med- 2 in a box and large 1- for a DOLLAR!
I have use these for 3 trips and 3 cruises and Iam still using the same bags. For the most part they are also waterproof.

My last trip to disney repacking was never easier. I put all of the clothes in the draw in the plastic bags and used as needed. When it was time to pack I just zipped the unused clothes back up and threw them in the suitcase- 5 mins. My friends spent most of the night repacking.

Give these a try they are cheap- larger than zip locks and they pack easily.

also great for tolietries!

I second (or third - I lost count!) the eBags packing cubes. I travel frequently for work and these have been a Godsend. I learned a new trick on my most recent trip - I found those "squeeze the air out" plastic bags on sale at Marshalls so I bought a set. Wouldn't you know, the packing cubes fit perfectly inside the plastic bags and when you squeeze the air out, they get thinner by about half their size!!!

Best wishes for whatever you decide to buy!
