I would agree on the cameras and sunscreen. Stuff that they sell on resorts are 50% higher than on the actual market. When going to a trip, we usually have just a couple of bags, all clothes and gadgets that we would use in the trip. And we pack our lunch rather than buying it. Nice stuff!

Stuff like sunscreen and cameras will usually be cheaper at home than at a resort (by a lot!!). The only exception would be if you're traveling somewhere that has a WalMart or something like that. Buying the items there could save you some space in your luggage.And buying snacks has helped us soo much. We'll usually go to BJ's and buy a box of snack bars for the trip. They're great for the place rides and to snack during the day on vacation. Some days a snack bar and coffee have been substitutes for breakfast (poor substitutes but cheaper and quicker than getting breakfast in the hotel). Great tips.
