Where do you buy your suitcases? We shopped at most of the stores around including Sears, Macy’s, Marshall, TJ Max and found the cheapest we could get at Ross. Although this model has been discontinued but it serves the same purpose - a bag to carry your luggage while you are traveling.

We set out mind to look for a smaller suitcase, 24″-25″ with 4 wheels. If you are a frequent traveler, you probably knew by now that most airlines have reduced the weight allowed for each passenger per suitcase. Prior to May 2008, each passengers were allowed a suitcase with 70 lbs, but now it has been reduced to 50 lbs on most airlines, international or domestic. We have several suitcases but bigger and heavier too but they will not be good for traveling now (unless you want to pay over weight charges).

Macy’s always has sales 50-60% off the regular price which end up with a sale price still very high. So we visited Ross one day and the first store we went we saw the suitcase we like. We bought two same size and one of them is this Samsonite Expandable Mobilite Spinner Upright 26 in red. The dimension of this suitcase is 25″ x 18″ x 8″. It has a 10 year warranty with it. We paid $60 plus sales tax for this. Regular price would be above $150 for sure.

This Upright Spinner allows 360 degree rolling in multiple directions. It weighs around 11-12 lbs, so you can still add approximately 38 lbs of stuff in it to get to the maximum allowed weight at 50 lbs.

We went to several other Ross after, but couldn’t find any other suitcases as cheap as this.
