Huh, I realized I am already doing this halfway—there are things I have many copies of (toothbrush, toothpaste) and I keep a copy in a bag (actually a box, nevermind), and there are things that I add there before travel and remove them afterwards, because I don’t keep extra copies of them… and $30 could complete the bag.
As Gareth mentioned, checklists are great for things that are large, expensive, or expire quickly, so you don’t want to keep an extra copy of them in a bag. Things like shampoo, you can pour them into smaller bottles.
Brainstorming time: what else is small, inexpensive, doesn’t expire, and is useful when traveling? For example, pen and paper, playing cards...
