15 Costco Products I Always Travel With

Whether you're heading to the beach or visiting a far-flung country, packing the right items is key to a smoother, more comfortable trip. Beyond groceries and bulk discounts, you can save with Costco items that ease travel stress.

Instead of hitting up a dozen different stores or paying full price at another store, I've taken up a nice little hack that saves me time and money: Costco for travel prep. Check out these 15 products that you can pick up on your next Costco run, too.

The Bagsmart Blast backpack is the perfect carry-on bag for airline travel. I love the six compression cubes that hold everything from clothing to jewelry. There's a large compartment to hold a 15.6-inch laptop, along with three front pockets for your passport, ID, credit cards, and cash.

The set is almost $20 cheaper at Costco than buying directly from the manufacturer.

Price: $29.99

Traveling in the summer can be grueling, especially if you're going to the beach or anywhere tropical. Costco offers a set of two JISULIFE neck fans to help you stay cool.

The fan comes with a recharging cable, with a single charge lasting between 2 and 18 hours. If you purchase from a major online retailer rather than Costco, you'll pay almost double the price.

Price: $39.99

We rely on technology every day to stay in touch with family and friends, to power our electronics, and to stay safe, and you won't always be near an outlet during your adventures.

The Belkin Travel Bundle from Costco includes a power bank to keep your devices charged no matter where you go, a USB-C cable, and a convenient carrying case.

Price: $29.99

I love a nice hot cup of coffee in the morning to get me going. Keeping it fresh can be a challenge when you're on the road. ThermoFlask features Temp-Lock technology that keeps drinks hot for up to seven hours. It also has a leak-proof lid to prevent accidental spills.

This set comes in a pack of two, so you'll always have one ready to go — or one ready for your travel partner. When you purchase at Costco, you save approximately $10 compared to other national retailers.

Price: $54.99

It's always good to have tissues on hand for unexpected messes, especially when you're traveling or not near a bathroom. The Kleenex Perfect Fit 24-pack facial tissues are just the right size for a car cup holder or backpack pocket.

I try to always keep a pack or two in my purse for emergencies.

Price: $249.99

In addition to a carry-on bag, you'll need durable check-in luggage for extended trips. The MaxPorter trunk has wheels, so you won't break your back lugging your bag from one end of the airport to the other.

It also comes with five packing cubes to keep smaller items organized. The cost on other sites is around $50 more without the packing cubes.

Price: $16.99

When traveling, try to dress for comfort, especially if you're road-tripping or have a long flight. These men's Spyder active joggers are made from moisture-wicking materials to keep you cool.

Other retailers have the same pants for around $7 more.

Price: $22.69

Pure Protein bars help satisfy your sweet tooth on the go without heading into junk food territory or pulling over for another gas station stop. Each bar from the 25-count pack contains approximately 20 grams of protein, a healthier option over chips and candy bars.

Price: $16.97

Whether you're napping in the car on the way to your destination or prefer to bring your own in-flight blanket, the Columbia packable throw is made for indoor and outdoor use and rolls up easily to save space when packing.

At Costco, you save approximately $20 per blanket.

You never know if it's going to be too hot, too cold, or somewhere in between at the hotel. This pajama set is soft and comfortable and comes with a robe for lounging on your patio or as an extra layer in your room.

Costco offers these pajamas $13 less than other retailers.

You don't have to abandon your routines when you're on the road. The Oral-B iO Clean & Whiten rechargeable toothbrush has a two-minute timer, so you can make sure you're brushing adequately no matter where you are.

The KORRES foaming cream cleanser claims to help restore moisture, reduce redness, and improve skin texture with just one use, which is ideal for being out in the elements, especially the sun and wind.

The last thing you want to deal with when you're on vacation is sunburn. Thank You Farmer Sun Project is a Korean beauty product that moisturizes while protecting skin from the sun's damaging rays.

It comes in a two-pack, so you can leave one tube at home and stick one in your purse or backpack. At Costco, the two-pack costs about the same price as one at other retailers.

Price: $4.99

Having fresh drinking water is important. Whether you're going camping or driving to a hotel or Airbnb, you can bring water with you to ensure you stay healthy and hydrated. Costco offers a 24-pack of purified drinking water that's enhanced with minerals for a better taste.

The smaller-sized bottles are ideal to tuck into a bag when you're out shopping or at the beach.

Price: $59.99

I learned the hard way: Always bring your own bandages, especially with kids in tow. I've spent far too much on gas station and airport options when I could have had everything stashed in my bag. This 217-piece kit can service a whole family with various cuts, scrapes, sprains, and burns. I love knowing I'm prepared for life's little accidents now.

Other Ever-Ready kits can cost as much as $100. This one includes a convenient storage bag, too.

Before your trip, consider making a list of items you'll need when you're on the road. Whether it's drinks and snacks or luggage, Costco has many items you'll need at discounted prices. When you save money on pre-trip purchases, you'll have more money to spend on gifts and experiences.

In addition to low-cost necessities, Costco also offers access to discounted vacation packages, cruises, rental cars, and hotels for members through Costco Travel, a great way to travel more on a budget.
