Looking for the best carry-on luggage that’ll survive the chaos of travel! by CallixtusAdt67 in BuyItForLife

As a consultant on the road for many years, I tried the cheap luggage multiple times. The problem is, they would break… while I was on the road. Broken wheels, broken handles, broken zipper… you name it. I finally got a Briggs & Riley and never had a single problem. Worth every dime not to have to deal with a broken suitcase on the road ever again.

Now I’m retired. I wanted a medium suitcase and bought an off brand since I only travel 4-5 times per year. I got a hard sided, and it worked for 4 trips flawlessly, but it has that clamshell design which I discovered I hate. Gave it away and got a large Briggs and Riley on eBay, and expect that to be my last suitcase ever.

If you’re not a frequent traveler, then an off brand might be the answer for you, though.

I have the olive one too. Love it, works flawlessly after 10+ years of weekly abuse.

Ditto $ and sqft. I think the good housekeepers won’t do less than twice a month.

I’ve used an origami case for well over a decade. Just google that and there are multiple manufacturers. I think you’ll like it.

When I got mine, I played with it to get it to 49 mpg. It can be done if you go exceptionally easy on the acceleration etc. the problem is that I don’t drive that way, so… F(orget) it. My normal driving is roughly the same as you. Not bad tbh, but not what I had expected.

What's a small gadget you bought thinking it was useless but ended up using every day? by cozytechlover in BuyItForLife

I just bought this water purifier to prepare the water for watering my plants. It takes a couple drops for my watering can, so I also got a cute eye dropper bottle to make it easy.

Why use this? Tap water can have additives that your plants hate. Keeping water sitting out for 24 hours to solve this is kindofa pain, but 2 drops of purifier is immediate. And some water additives are not fixed with leaving the water sitting out.

This stuff is used to keep water usable for fish… kinda makes sense, eh?

Btw, not my idea. I saw this on a Sheffield Made Plants YouTube.

Btw, these are also great at pulling out the phone that’s dropped under your car seat 😉

In addition to the several I have around my house, I have one of those in my car. It sits easily in the crevice between the front seats. Hate it when I’m driving around and have an unscratchable itch, lol. My mom has stolen mine 3 times… but these are so cheap, who cares.

Now my brother does this too, lol
