The limit drops to one hour when the temperature is above 90°F. Review the USDA food safety guidance before transporting chilled foods.
Pro Tips from Olga, Co-Founder:
- Create one shared bachelorette grocery list before anyone shops. Assign categories such as breakfast, snacks, drinks, and supplies to specific people.
Pack Based on Trip Length 📅
Trip length should control how much clothing and personal care gear goes into the suitcase. Extra nights do not require a separate outfit for every hour.
