Traveling may be a pleasurable indulgence, but few of us have a blank check when it comes to our pre-trip shopping choices. It’s sooo easy to overspend — one item can easily cost upwards of $100 if you’re not careful. That makes sticking to a budget such a satisfying accomplishment, especially when you find just what you’re looking for at a low price. That’s where we come in, with this roundup of our favorite affordable travel must-haves.

The best way to find your zen when traveling is to stay as organized as possible — and this palm-sized passport wallet keeps important documents handily within reach. It’s slim enough to slip into any pocket and has slots for a passport, credit cards, a boarding pass and even a pen. Best of all, it has built-in RFID blocking to protect sensitive personal data. It also comes with two recovery tags from ReturnMe, the world’s largest lost-and-found company.
One pilot gave it this soaring review. “Got this to hold my important things I need to fly — certificate, medical [card] and passport,” he wrote. “They also offer you a lost-and-found reward so if you lose it, it can be easily returned to you and the company provides you a reward.”
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
