This week, Laura, Sharon, and Jamie discuss tipping while traveling!

At The Core

Crushed It

This week’s travel favorite is 4 1/2  pineapple rings and is a pineapple-themed packable cooler.

Jamie’s family likes traveling with a cooler to have snacks and drinks while they are at the beach and Laura’s family also uses a cooler often.  Sharon’s family is more of a “stop as you go” family and they typically don’t travel with a cooler.  Having a nice packable cooler can be a great travel item to help save a few dollars on snacks and drinks when traveling!
