37. Strategize Your Snacks

Airport food is expensive and often unhealthy. Pack your own non-perishable, high-energy snacks to save money and keep hunger pangs at bay during long travel days or layovers.

Having snacks readily available prevents impulse buys and ensures you have fuel when you need it, especially if flight delays occur or food options at your destination are limited upon arrival.
