Posting a clip online, she first placed a Boots bag on the counter as she said: “Guys if you’re going on holiday anytime soon, I have a £3.50 travel hack you’re gonna need.” 

She then took a clear plastic zip lock bag out, which had three ‘travel squeezy bottles’ inside. 

Ashleigh then took out a second bag with flattened plastic pouches, which she said also cost £3.50 and can fit 100ml worth of product.

“This means you don’t have to buy any minis, any extra beauty products,” she said. “You just decant your existing ones into these and save yourself a small fortune.” 

Ashleigh then took a pouch out and squeezed some of her L’Oreal shampoo into it, demonstrating its use. 

She continued: “Now these pouches are great for shampoo and conditioner. 

“They were so easy to fill up, I just put enough for my weekend away. 

“I didn’t need to put excess in and it really me to reduce on having to take loads in my bag as well, which would have been really heavy and really annoying.” 

She went on to explain that she would use the squeezy bottle set to decant her shower gel into. 

“These are silicone made so they’re going to be great for using in the shower,” she shared.

Once done, TikTok user @ashleighmoneysaver said that the best part of the travel buy is that the packaging it came in can double up as your toiletries bag.  

“This was such a bargain,” she said as the video came to an end. 

In the caption, she added: “Going away soon? Here’s my £3.50 Travel Beauty Hack from Boots UK”.

People were quick to comment on the hack as one person wrote: “I would never have thought of doing this brilliant idea thanks x”. 

Another person posted: “Adore these, these babies are coming on holiday with me,” followed by a heart emoji.

“Love this idea!! Never even thought of doing anything like that when I go away, saves so much room compared to bulky products,” a third posted with a red heart emoji. 

While a fourth suggested: “Pouches good for festivals!!”

And a fifth person revealed that there’s an even cheaper option as similar travel bottles and pouches can be found in Poundland. 

They shared: “£1 in poundland or primark,” to which Ashleigh replied: “Oooooo thanks!”
