    Ross or Marshalls or a discount place like that. Usually lots of brand name luggage to choose from really cheap!

    I'm a big fan of hard-sided luggage. My MIL has a fantastic set she bought in Europe that we used on our honeymoon and it was AWESOME! I can't remember the brand name, but I'm sure I'll think of it and will pass it along when I do!

    LL Bean has a lifetime warranty I think!

    Kohls. We got a half-off deal they always do,  plus signed up for a credit card by them, got cash bucks to use next time.. etc. $200 of luggage for about $40 total. Not the greatest quality, but things get RIPPED up by the airlines, I wouldn't worry about nice, just quality handles, etc.

    Online? I'd try overstock or amazon for free ship.

    This.  I had a rolling suitcase from LLBean that was roughly handled and one of the wheels got totally bent.  I took it back and got a brand-spanking new one.

    They make good-quality stuff that is worth the investment, especially for something like luggage that is likely to get thrown around every time you use it.

    I'd try Ross or Marshall's too!  They have awesome deals.  There's a Mayo Clinic in the Phoenix area too!

    Ditto Marshall's, TJ Maxx or Ross. Name brand stuff for much less $$. Check out the ones on clearance for an even better deal. I got the nicest piece of Samsonite luggage with 4 rolling wheels on clearance for $39! I've even seen the hard sided ones there. I highly recommend the ones with 4 wheels that swivel. The suitcases practically push themselves. Very convenient when travelling with a baby/toddler. Happy shopping!
