Before hitting the open road this summer, make sure you cover these 5 key areas of every road trip:
(1) Ensure a Stress-Free Trip with Entertainment
Long car rides can be tough – especially for kids – so having plenty of entertainment options on-hand is crucial for ensuring a peaceful ride. While overpacking may generally be a disservice, having extra activities for the little ones is one exception to the rule.
Here’s some of our recommendations:
Zuru 5 Surprise Mini Brands Toy
Hasbro Classics Grab And Go Game
Lisa Frank Jumbo Activity Book
Having a surprise activity for every hour of the trip can help ward off boredom and DG’s affordable offerings make it a breeze to stock up on fun new toys while saving money for your vacation.
(2) Keeping the Car Travel-Ready
Before the big trip, make sure your vehicle is prepped and ready with DG’s auto care brand Drive MXD. Drive MXD offers a wide range of products designed for cost-effective auto care.
Armor All Original Car Protectant
Wireless Gear Car Charger iPhone
Fix A Flat Tire Inflator & Sealer
Drive MXD Conventional Motor Oil
If the unexpected happens, DG has you covered with more than 20,000 communities across 48 states. No matter what issues arise or where your map takes you, DG will be there.
(3) Keep the Family Fueled with Snacks
Snacks are the building block of a perfect road trip, which is why DG’s wide variety of Clover Valley brand foods will help take customers’ road trips to the next level. Though not a grocer, DG recently expanded Clover Valley to include more than 100 new, on-trend national brand alternatives at affordable price points.

And of course, nobody wants to wash down a snack with a warm beverage. This Igloo Cooler Bag is a perfect way to keep drinks cold and refreshing.
(4) Cruisin' in Comfort
Once you fulfill all the road trip NEEDS, it’s time to add what separates a long-daunting drive from a relaxing cruise: comfort. No matter what car you drive, comfort levels can always be taken up a notch. Try adding a few of our top picks to add enjoyment to your trip.
