Save money on luggage fees at airports

By Charlyne Varkonyi Schaub December 16, 2008 05:20 PM

Tired of paying more when you fly because of overweight luggage? Disgusting, isn't it?

Here's a solution. The Balanzza digital luggage scale is a light, portable scale that claims to have "impeccable accuracy." This little gadget can help you lighten the load at home rather than get a surprise at the airport. Take it along to be sure you know how much your gift-ladden suitcase weigh on the return flight.

Available at.Target.com, Balanzza.com for $24.

Buy it for yourself or your college student.
