Get Everything on Your Beach Trip Packing List for as Little as $10

As the summer sun shines down, you’re thinking about packing up the family for an awesome day at the beach. There’s just one thing holding you back: the high cost of everything you’ll need to have a fun time. From snacks, drinks, beach toys, and the bags to carry them in, a relaxing day trip to the beach can take lots of planning and lots of cash.

Your beach trip packing list might be a mile long, but if you plan properly, you can get everything on your list for as little as $10 when you make a trip to one dollar zone!

Beach Wear

You got that great swimsuit on sale at the end of last season, but you want to pick up a few accessories to go with it. Try a floppy sun hat for yourself and some bucket hats for the kids. Hats will protect the sensitive skin on your heads and keep the sun out of your eyes. You can also easily pick up some flip-flops and sunglasses for the whole family. That way you don’t have to worry about losing your designer sunglasses in the ocean.

Drinks and Snacks

All that swimming and playing in the sand will work up an appetite. Make sure you have plenty of snacks on hand so that you can avoid paying $7 for a small ice cream cone at the stand by the beach. At one dollar zone!, we sell many of your favorite food brands, such as Pringles and Hershey’s. You can even pick up a few cold drinks or a reusable bottle that you can fill up at the water fountain by the beach.

Picnic Gear

If you’ll be at the beach all day, consider packing a picnic lunch. With the food storage containers, paper plates, and plastic silverware you can get at our store, your family will be eating delicious and healthy foods for a fraction of what you’d pay at a restaurant. The Kitchn has some excellent ideas on foods that work well at the beach. And protect your beach towels by picking up a plastic tablecloth to eat over!

Beach Toys

There’s sand. There’s water. What more could your kids want? Probably a lot. The great news is that one dollar zone! sells a wide variety of beach toys throughout the summer season. You can pick up some water guns, pool noodles, sand toys, and beach balls. Before you go, check out these tips for building the ultimate sand castle, and your family’s castle will be the talk of the beach. One key tip from that article is that it’s important for everyone in the family to have their own little shovel. The adults need some fun too, right. At one dollar zone!, we have lots of crossword puzzles and reading items to occupy your time while catching some rays.

Phone and Wallet Protectors

One of the biggest challenges of being at the beach is wanting to play in the water with the kids, but not wanting to leave your wallet and valuable items on your blanket so that someone can steal it. You don’t want to be stuck sitting on the blanket while everyone else has fun. To play it safe while having fun, get a waterproof case for your cash. They hang around your neck, so you’ll have your things close at hand.

Beach Bag

Now that you have all this great stuff for the beach, you’ll need a good way to carry it. Luckily, you can pick up a bag at our store as well. Look for one that’s big enough to hold all the things you want to bring. With the $1 price tag, you might want to pick up two or more bags.
