Where to shop for travel sizes

My friend Ellen, a traveling mom, sends in this advice:

If you're planning to cram everything you own into a carry-on bag this summer, your first stop should be Bed Bath & Beyond's Sawgrass Mills Mall store.

I found more than 200 small blue bins with just about any toiletry you'd need in a TSA-approved size: Dozens of soaps, shampoos, conditioners, pain & burn relievers; sunblocks and rain ponchos, grooming aids and deoderants, tiny Lysols and Febreezes and so much more. Even a visiting TSA worker was impressed.

For outward bound types seeking creature comforts, there are small rolls of Charmin in hard plastic dispensers. If you want to fill your own, there's a quart sized ziplock with 15 little empty jars and bottles. And if all this first aid has you overwhelmed by what could hamper your journey, reach into the last bin in the first aisle and grab the most important travel item of 'em all: A camera.
