This $11 luggage scale has saved me hundreds of dollars in overweight bag fees - I’ve been using it for more than 3 years

[Luggage Scale]Etekcity * INTERNATIONAL OVERWEIGHT BAG FEES RANGE FROM $50 TO $200 DEPENDING ON AIRLINE CARRIERS AND HOW MUCH YOUR BAG IS OVER THE PREDETERMINED LIMIT. * THIS $11 DIGITAL LUGGAGE SCALE CAN SAVE YOU HOURS OF FRUSTRATION AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS EVEN IF YOU DON'T CONSIDER YOURSELF AN OVERPACKER. * IT CAN WEIGH BAGS AND SUITCASES UP TO 100 POUNDS. IT ALSO WEIGHS LESS THAN FIVE OUNCES ITSELF, SO IT WON'T ADD MUCH TO YOUR OVERALL BAG WEIGHT. * THREE YEAR UPDATE (OCTOBER 2019): I'VE HAD THIS LUGGAGE SCALE FOR THREE YEARS NOW AND HAVE USED IT MORE THAN 10 TIMES WHEN TRAVELING TO THE MALDIVES, GREECE, ICELAND, AMSTERDAM, COSTA RICA, AND MORE. There's no bigger rush than finding an international flight deal. There's also no bigger buzzkill than finding out that there are unreasonably low bag weights. So before I went on a two-week, three-city vacation to Australia, I bought this $11 digital luggage scale from Etekcity. It saved me from having to pay $80 in overweight baggage fees on that trip alone, and three years later, it's done the same when I went to Greece, Iceland, Amsterdam, Costa Rica, the Maldives, and more.SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDERNOW WATCH: Stewart Butterfield, co-founder of Slack and Flickr, says 2 beliefs have brought him the greatest success in life SEE ALSO: * I didn’t believe the hype around the Philips air fryer until I tried it myself — here’s why I’m a convert * I got my teeth straightened in 5 months using SmileDirectClub's invisible aligners — here's what the process was like from start to finish * The best travel strollers you can buy
