Balanzza digital luggage scale alerts you to too many travel souvenirs

Balanzza Digital Luggage ScaleIf you collect a lot of souvenirs (i.e. junk) on trips, it is helpful to know before you hit the baggage counter scale how much a suitcase weighs so you can avoid added charges. One possible way to get an idea of your luggage weight ahead of time is with the new Balanzza Digital Luggage Scale, priced at around $25.

The Balanzza Digital Luggage Scale attaches to your luggage. You then use the handle to lift your luggage, holding it until your arm breaks off or you hear the scale beep - whichever happens first. Assuming it beeps, you can drop your baggage and look at the device’s LCD display to see how many extra bottles of rum you have to somehow reshuffle.

This scale displays weight in pounds or kilograms and is powered by two AAA batteries. It also supports up to 100 pounds. If your luggage ends up weighing this much however, it might be time to find a chiropractor.

    Great gadget and great advice. I am sure many travelers who like to collect a lot of souvenirs from the places they visit probably don’t take the added weight in consideration.

    One trick souvenir collectors could consider is taking an empty briefcase, or duffel bag with them on the plane. Airlines typically do not consider a purse, briefcase, or duffel-type bag as a carry on. They could pack these bags with souvenirs for the plane trip home!
