In previous years weve taken large holdals but they take up too much room for us.

This year everyone had an Aldi black reusable bag, seemed to work (husband always takes the most stuff and comes back with the most unworn!!!!)

I've just reserved 2 set of the jumbo bags from Argos for our BH trip and never thought to use our 12v air pump to suck out air for return, always thought it had to be the hoover.

I bought a large holdall from Tesco it was about £10 and holds stuff for 2 adults and 2 kids.

A trick I have recently tried which works well to is to pack clothes in black bags and vac them smaller either with ari pump or I do with Hoover at home and then pack in holdall. you save loads of space!!!!

that's one of the reasons went for Aldi bags (sound nubby doesn't it but worked for us) smaller than a holdall - bigger than a back pack and one each so no going through someone elses clothes to get to yours.

You can normally always find a small gap rather than finding a large one too when packing.
